Anyway, I never thought he'd give me a 2nd look and he thought the same thing about me. On April 6, 1991, I was home from college cruising around town with my friends. He was with Rob cruising around town. We met up in "free parking", went to a party together, went to eat at a truck stop at 4 am, went to my house to sleep (YES! SLEEP---Rob always stayed over at my house, on the couch, a floor below my bedroom). The next day, they came over in the afternoon, we hung out all day and the rest is history. We would alternate weekends, one weekend at Ball State, one weekend at home...always with Rob!! Until he got the hint that we could handle things on our own! :) And the rest is history. We married in July 1993.
