OKAY, now for our story -

Danny, Tanner and Alli were taking the boat out on the lake and, outnumbered by men, Alli asked if I wanted to join. I lived about 5 minutes down the road and as busy and important as I am, I happened to be free and couldn't pass up on a lake day.

This was our "meet cute" if you will. But also kind of not... because it would be another 4 years before we were actually in a relationship. I chalk it up to timing, but I'll get to that. ANYWAY, apart from some mild flirting and Danny showing off on the wakeboard a tad more than usual - which I do admit was and still is very impressive - we walked away from that day with nothing more than a new friend and a beautiful tan (on Danny's part). Although, I do like to think had we not both recently gotten out of serious relationships, maybe it would have gone somewhere - who knows!

It was later on that Summer that Danny tagged along with Tanner and Alli to our friends’ pool party *enter Amanda Leonard & Kendra Black* and once again Danny and I found ourselves in the other's presence. We came, we swam, we ate, we drank, and somewhere along the way it became clear that Danny and I had a "thing." Day turned into night at a rather sketchy karaoke bar, which later turned into a game night back at Alli's sister's house. It was a DAY, and the origin of what we now half-jokingly refer to as "Round 1."
