In 2000, I met Nick while working at Target when I was 17 and he was 22. I know, I know, why would a 22 year old want to date a 17 yr old?!?! We heard it all! Somehow at the very young age that I was, I already knew Nick was potential. To make a long story short, we of course started dating and my parents just kept lecturing me of getting into anything serious before even graduating high school. Nick was already in college at Belmont Abbey majoring in Business Admin. It is common sense to assume that he would break my heart because of our age difference. It baffles me how age really becomes a number the older you get. In our seven years of dating, Nick graduated college and kept getting relocated from place to place while I was in college so we dated long distance for about 3 years (not consecutive). My senior year of college was the best and I lived alone in Asheville while Nick lived in Greensboro, NC. We also got engaged in May of 2006 and wed June 09, 2007 at the Belmont Abbey Basilica. Now if that isn't a synoposis of 7 years, I don't know what is!!!
Oh yeah, I must add that my parents love Nick so they can be wrong sometimes... :)
