Our Story - How We Met

Wednesday, February 5, 2003 - Our story began on the beautiful island of St. Thomas while cruising the Caribbean on a KT and Friends cruise. After having missed connecting with some friends to head to Blackbeard's Castle, another friend and I took a tour of the island. Our first stop on the tour was one of those "Kodak Picture Moment" spots with a stunning overlook.

There was no missing 'Taylor University' written on the back of Dave's shirt. For those of you who know Dave, what else would he be wearing?? :) Of course I had to find out who was wearing a shirt from MY alma mater and more importantly, WHY!

We discovered that not only did we both graduate from Taylor, but graduated the SAME year. We both remembered each other and knew of each other while students, but had never met. We also discovered that we were both on the same ship, with the same group onboard the ship.

Since I was traveling with a large group of friends from my church and he came on the cruise by himself, I invited him to hang out with us. After the cruise we kept in touch via email and instant messenger.
