So how we met. Tony and I both attended Briar Cliff university in Sioux City, Iowa. I, the "Midwest Woman", grew up in a tiny town about 30 minutes from Sioux City and Tony, the "Mountain Man", grew up in east/central Utah, also in a small town. My first recollection of him was when I moved into the dorms (2 weeks early) during my sophomore year of college. I remember driving up the hill, pulling into the parking lot, and seeing this HUGE red LIFTED (midwest boys rarely have lifted trucks) truck in the parking lot. I thought to myself, "who's truck is that????????" Two weeks in a quiet, empty dormitory and still I had no idea. The week after school started however, my then boyfriend, a senior on the baseball team, dropped me off at work and when he came to pick me up, he was sitting shot gun in that big red truck with a boy I didn't know who was a freshman on the baseball team. As part of freshman initiation, the senior guys made the freshman guys run all of their errands and drive them around. Little did I know that afternoon as I rode back to the dorms between my then boyfriend and this shy, quiet guy from Utah that I would one day more the latter of the two. We instantly became friends...
...to be continued.
