I came across some photos from several years ago while doing some Spring cleaning with the wife that brought back some good memories. She knows the stories behind them and wanted to share them with you. While these events are not about my wife, I have her blessing to share them. This happened way back in college, almost a year prior to us dating.
It was my second year as an RA (resident assistant) in college and one of my best friends was the RA of the floor above me. I’ve known Michelle since middle school and it was amazing to not only go to the same college together, but become RAs in the same dorm (side note, my wife was also an RA in the same building, but we didn’t know each other all that well outside being on the same staff).

Michelle has always been a gorgeous girl with beautiful blonde hair, as well as a tight body from being a star soccer player in high school. I’ve always found her attractive, but our friendship started and blossomed over losing and grieving over siblings who committed suicide – her younger brother and my older sister. Don’t mean to be a downer, but it brought us closer to each other.
