Today we have guest blogger Jessica:
10 years ago today, David and I met at Iron Cactus on 6th street. My dear friend Sara introduced us. She had known David for years through their friend Aron. I had known Aron for a few years b/c we all went to SWT together.
The following Tuesday, I saw Aron driving on I-35 toward San Marcos (Aron and David went to high school together and are/were great friends). We pulled over at a rest stop after he motioned for me to pull over. We talked about David and how David and I should go out sometime.
Three days later, David called me for a date. (He went to the library or somewhere to find a San Marcos phone book!) A week after our first date, we went out on the town with Sara. Sara took the attached photo on that night.
And the rest is history…
We wanted to have a big gathering at Iron Cactus to commemorate, but we are old and lame. Look how young we are in this photo. And I thought I was so old and mature. I am a scant 24 years old, and David is a mature 25.
Enjoy the photo. 1997 was a good year for me. In March of ’97, I was
hired at UT Austin, where I ended up meeting some of my favorite people.
Happy New Year from Familyvance!
Congratulations and all that stuff. A family that runs together has lots of dirty laundry.
So what’s your record(s) for the dot game?
Hey, if I had known I was going to be a guest blogger, I’d have worked harder on the story.
Noel, my high score is 1496 without the bonus points (David hadn’t gotten that feature in at that point). So who knows what my “real” high score could be.
David holds the Familyvance high score of 1585 or 1586 or something around there.
Elijah, age 7, has a high score of 1149. Joshua, age 5, has a high score of around 900.
How ’bout you? I keep trying to break 1500…but no dice.
