Dan and I were both born and raised in the southern New Mexico/ Western Texas part of the world. We lived in the same town as teenagers and had many of the same friends, but never met until his last year and my 2nd year of college. We met in a German class, romantic phlegm was hocked across the room. 10 years and 2 children later we are still in love and can't wait for the next 60+ years ahead.
