Nine years ago from tomorrow I walked into my first comp sci lab at Clemson - I was 17 years old. I really had no idea what I was doing. I mean, I knew a lot about how to program and I was pretty good at it, but the computers all had Solaris (a form of Unix) and I had only ever used Windows. Once I got the right program open, I couldn't even figure out how to backspace. I was so frustrated! The program we had to write that day was super easy, but here I was, struggling to figure out how to even type.
Fortunately for me, my TA was extremely patient with me. He came over and showed me through the steps and answered my questions. I was so embarrassed because I thought he was pretty cute, but I felt so stupid. It all worked out though, because three and a half years later, I married him! And on top of that, I got a 99 in his class...
So yes, nine years ago from tomorrow I met Hunter. I've known him for a third of my life! In honor of such a wonderful day, I've compiled a list of numbers from over the years...

WOW! I am glad to see there is someone else out there that has moved around as much as Travis and I. We were married Mar. 2003 and have lived in 4 states and have had 6 addresses! Even though we aren't in a house, yet, I am hoping that all the moving will cease for a little while- it takes me forever to learn new phone numbers! HAHA! Love you!!
