How it Began

David and I have a very unique love story - it will keep you on your toes that's for sure! It began in the fall of 2010 at the University of Michigan-Flint in an Anatomy & Physiology lab. It was the first day of class and I was thankful one of my sorority sisters was in the class with me. I had no idea that she would one day be my best friend or that I was about to meet my future husband.

.... then David walked in. I have a tendency to wear my emotions on my face so Lindsey helped me pick my jaw up off of the floor and then told me casually "That's David. I had a class with him last semester." I was already gone at that point. Much to my embarrassment, Lindsey tried dropping hints to David all semester that I was madly in love with him, but having since married him I can assure you that the only hints David picks up on are those equivalent to a bowling ball. Sure enough, the class ended without David ever realizing my love for him and we went our separate ways, but remained friendly.

It wasn't until David left for Basic Training and I sent him a birthday card while he was there that he realized I liked liked him. The stars aligned, we were both single at the same time, and we began officially dating shortly after he was sent to South Carolina to begin the nuclear pipeline.
