I had spent 6 months months caring for my mom when she was sick. I took two semesters off of school and my mom felt really guilty for it. I had no problem doing it...I wouldn't have had it any other way. Anyway, she suggested that I go "away" for the winter semester to get a break. I jumped at the chance and chose Western Michigan University, well, naturally because that's where a lot of my friends went.
Even though I kept hearing the name Matt "Resin" pop up a few time in conversation, I didn't actually meet him until a month or so after my move. I walked into Waldo's Bar with my friend/roommate Rebecca. She knew this Matt "Resin" and introduced me to him. Well, he really took a liking to me as it was quite obvious:). We talked and talked and talked some more. When I think back to that moment, I picture us in a movie where everything was going on around us....a busy bar, friends joining in on the conversation....but all I could think about was how cute this Matt "Resin" is. And yes....I did think his last name was "Resin" for some time.
I was so excited for our first date on Valentines Day a few days later. As it turned out, my friend Sara had planned a trip to K-zoo that same weekend so our date ended up being a whole group of both mine & Matt's friends.....mostly my Bay City friends. Only a month later, I brought him home to meet my parents. This was the first & only meeting he had with my mom as she passed away a month later. However, during that meeting, my mom whispered to me that "he is the one." From there.....well, it's been 18 years, friends!
