We met initially when we were 13 & 15, his family moved to Chico. Our story starts 18 yrs later w/ me in Sacramento & mutual friends & Brent moving there also. We were a group of chico-ans hanging out in Sacramento area. The friends all left and Brent and I were left alone in SAC area and started to date for a week. Talk about being All wrong (felt like brother/sister when we kissed) So we stopped hanging out and called it off. Six months go by and no contact with one another. I had moved on so I thought. Then Brent started to call every day. Said he missed hanging out w/ me. Wanted to "hang out" again. I thought well no problem to hang out but I did not want to date him. No way. So we started going to movies, he started coming over for dinner, occasionally went dancing with a big group of people. More and more "hanging out" so to speak and that lead to starting to romantically liking one another. Somehow without delays this time we were dating more seriously, didn't feel like friends anymore. Dated about a year and then we got married April 30, 2004. I was 32 and married for the first time he was 33 and married for the second time. Wow who would have ever thought I would marry my friend Cheryl's older brother?

When I was on the swim team, we were coming back from a meet and stopped in a little town called Los Molinos. The place was a ma and pa deli/ice cream parlor. The food was great and boy were the people working there surprised and overwhelmed to see us. GOOD memories. I also have a great memory of the TWIRPS when I asked a good friend to go with me. We had a blast and I loved all the fun I had that night.
