Blake and I met in 1994 when I was a freshman and he was a senior. It really was “love at first sight.” I told my best friend Steph that I just met the boy I’m going to marry – she, of course, laughed at me. Then Blake told his friends – I just saw a girl in the freshman class I want to date – they said, probably not going to happen. Fast forward to 2017 and we are celebrating 19 years of marriage this September, raising 3 beautiful little girls, and planting roots in Durham, NC. We are thankful for Presbyterian College and the memories we made there that will last a lifetime.
