Our story essentially began because of football. Anyone who knows me (Temeka) knows that I am a HUGE Virginia Tech fan (and alumni). So our story begins in August 2011 at the University of Charleston School of Pharmacy. Sheldon and I both lived in East Apartments. We were in orientation week when I was coming back from the bookstore and passed the game room on the main floor of the complex. Inside the game room I could hear a group of people inside playing ping pong, so I walked into the room to socialize and get to know some of my classmates. During the discussion I was asked where I was from, etc (you know, typical get to know you questions). Someone asked where I went to undergrad to which I responded Virginia Tech and Sheldon's (who is an FSU fan) response -- "ew. you're a HOKIE??". Throughout the first semester of pharmacy school we became best friends. We studied together, we played basketball together, and we watched football together. Our friendship continued to grow. We kept constant communications, even through winter break. By spring semester we were really close, and I took him to Kings Dominion with my family for my sister's birthday. After meeting my family, I will never forget how my momma told me that I would end up marrying Sheldon. To which I thought she was absolutely crazy... April 2012 - We were at a party when a couple of our mutual friends approached me asking what the deal was between Sheldon and I. Why we weren't a couple, etc. To which I responded, "oh we are just friends, he isn't into me like that" to which I got a very common response of "no, he totally is... its obvious". So in the following days, I made my move and sent him the following message "alright, how do you feel about me"..... and the rest is history
