How We Met - Story as told by Katie

My friend Chris kept telling me about this guy he wanted to introduce me to. He finally got it coordinated for us to meet at Theology on Tap. When I got there, my friend Sher told me Chris had been waiting for me to get there so he could finally introduce me to Jeremy. Chris and I talked at by one of the coolers and he pointed Jeremy out. I was thinking, "Wow, this guy is pretty cute!" Chris said he would introduce us a little later in the night so it wasn't too awkward for either of us.

We were formally introduced to each other and had a few minutes to talk, which was a little nerve-wracking for me, since I tend to get shy around new people...particularly this new person, who happened to be a very good looking guy. However, I thought it would be unlikely anything would come about from this meeting since I was leaving for grad school the following week.

It was around March 2006 that I had a revelation...I needed to find out about this guy, Jeremy, that I had met over the summer. I had been living in Pocatello for about 8 months and the prospects weren't so good there, so I knew I had to make a call to Chris. Chris made it a point to tell me (again) that Jeremy is a great guy, even detailing some of the amazing things he had done for his community and other people in his life. I told Chris I was interested in seeing Jeremy again and asked if he would help us get in touch the next time I was home. At the end of March, I had an email from Jeremy to call when I was in town. I called on Friday, March 31st, and we set up a date...for April 1st.
