How We Met

Kate's Story
I absolutely love telling people how we met.  

We get so many different responses ranging from the "awww that is soooo sweet!" to the farther end of  

"oh my gosh, why did you go out with him and I'm surprised you didn't get chopped up into little pieces?!" and every little reaction in between.  

True story.

So how did we meet? 

By accident. 

Literally.

One morning I ended up being ready for class earlier than I needed to be.  So I left and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and still ended up heading to campus earlier than I normally do.  As I turned left onto campus (I had a green arrow!) a truck came up to the intersection and started to turn right into my lane, I wasn't sure he was going to stop and even said "ooo don't hit me!" Yes, I talk to myself in the car sometimes...you know you do too.  He did stop and I continued down the road, stopped at the red light, glanced in my rear view mirror, and the same truck slammed into me.  

I had barely pulled over by the time Cody was out of his truck and getting me out of my car.  We were both ok, although it had knocked the wind out of me pretty good and by the end of the day my hand was swollen and bruised where it had hit against the steering wheel.  We went back to survey the damage, and oddly enough my car was fine.  No smashed in bumper, no scratches, just a dent in my licenses plate where the truck hit. Cody's truck was dented in a bit though. 

We exchanged info and both made it to class in time.

Later that evening Cody called me to make sure I was still okay and to apologize again. We ended up chatting for 15 minutes or so, and Cody asked if he could buy me dinner to apologize for hitting me. I insisted that wasn't necessary, but a week later my roommate talked me into going to dinner with him. (Thanks Krista!)
