7 Years + 1 Day

Yesterday was our anniversary.  It was 7 years ago that I married my eternal math tutor and favorite nerd. Crazy how time flies. I won't post one of those lovey-dovey, sickeningly sweet posts about how wonderful my husband is. (Although I think he is the best out there, that just isn't my style.) So instead I thought I would share the first time I remember meeting him.

The reason I say "first time I remember meeting him" is because we had an institute class together, but I don't recall see him till half way through the semester.  I'm sure I saw him before this, I just don't recall.  One day after institute I stopped a friend who was also in my math class, Denney, to ask some question. A guy was waiting for him outside the classroom in the hallway. He was wearing a white t-shirt (Typical of him back then) and his messenger bag (Still typical of him). Denney introduced me to his roommate Russ, the math major that Denney had referred to a couple of times before. The three of us walked back to campus together. I don't remember how it came up, but the first thing I remember Russ talking about was how much Torque it would take Superman to stop the rotation of the Earth. Yup, that was the way he picked up girls I guess. :) Either way, it worked. After I "stalked" him a little bit for math help (a story for another time), we were inseparable.

Thinking about this story still makes me laugh. Nothing like a totally confusing  Calculus II class to help you find your eternal companion. (Fibonacci numbers will always be near and dear to my heart now.)  Love you Russ!
