How we met - May 2006

By: Tauna Coombs
The first time we met was at a hospital visiting a friend, Tiffany Stephen. At the time I was a roommate with Tiffany and Kent was dating a friend of hers. They knew each other through their parents. While at the hospital, I noticed him looking at me a lot. It wasn't until Kent left; I felt my heart drop thinking I wouldnt see him again. Life went on for both of us. A few weeks later Tiffany heard that Kent and his girlfriend had broken up and happened to see him at the airport. She invited him over to go swimming and told him she had someone she wanted him to meet. I was excited to see him again. A few weeks later, we meet again. The night was a lot of fun. The first part of the night he was trying to impress a friend of mine, thinking it was me, but he was not interested in her. Once I got to the pool, he was glad it was me he was supposed to meet. The rest of the night we just had fun swimming and getting to know each other better. Phone numbers were exchanged. We set up a date to get frozen yogurt but he cancelled and we decided to go our separate ways. The following weekend, my mom, sister and I went out to see a friend and her family. Her husband asked if we had any prospects. I let him know the story about Kent. He encouraged me to call him back. The next Tuesday I was at a Diamond Backs Baseball game with some friends, when Tiffany got a text from Kent asking about me. Well, that was my chance to text him back. We set up another date to get frozen yogurt. After a couple of days getting know each other, we decided to give each other a chance to see where our relationship goes. Five months later we knew we were going to be together.
