IIIIIIIIN west philadelphia born and raised..... wait wrong story haha. Ok, here we go, it all started at a little place called the National Training Center in Clermont, Fl. Two aspiring athletes focus on one thing and one thing only... their sport. One, just finishing college, the other about to begin college. Neither realizing that their one and only was only one step away. An abitious and cocky young man begins the chase by boldly asking the beautiful young swimmer for her phone number.... she declines. Shot down, but not shut down he purses to ask her on a date (six more dates to be exact) all of which were declined as well. The chase is only a chase if the chased is caught, rather this was becoming an impossible challange. Or so he thought. It was a casual, yet planned, walk by of the two that changed both their lives forever. After seven failed attempts to see her outside work and practice, she finally asked HIM out. We all know now she likes things on HER terms. The confession came months later that she purposely walked the long way to her car just so she could walk by him, had this not happened, the seven attempts by him would have never happened (maybe only been 3 or 4 would have :)) From that first, and worth waiting for date, the two have been in love ever since and rarely spent a day apart. Now they begin the next chapter in their lives not as a cat and mouse, but rather husband and wife.
