April 2005

in December of 2003, I was introduced to a beautiful girl at a church dinner. we danced together and chatted. I told her about wanting to work at Pixar, she talked about how she played basketball for the Huskers. it was amazing. but, being the gutless sophomore that I was, I never asked her out. she proceded to move to Colorado and out of my life (although not out of my mind).

almost 2 years after that initial meeting, my friend who originally introduced us told me that she was back in town. a little more mature and a little more sure of myself, I thought I'd better ask her out before she gets away again.

so I asked her to shoot hoops at the gym with me as a first date. my dad had previously been asking me what she looked like, so on April 21st, 2005, I took a crappy cell-phone pick and sent it to my dad. he said she had a great smile.

1 year later we were married and we've been so for 5 years now. and as Kyle said above, God is Good!
