Congratulations

This post is dedicated to my dearest friend Linds from chiropractic school....She just got engaged!!!  I am SO happy for her, she deserves all the happiness and love in the world!  Even though I only met her fiancee on skype, I can tell he is a good man. :)

Linds and I became roommates through the internet and never met each other before we met at the leasing office to sign the lease.  I had gone to Iowa with my mom to look for places to live that summer and found an apartment just a few blocks from the school.  It was going to be cheaper to get a two bedroom to split with someone, plus I would have a buddy to get through that first week of living in a new place, not knowing anyone.  I posted an ad online and Linds was the lucky winner! :-P  We only talked on the phone before we both moved to Davenport.  Then it was time to move out there in October of 2005... I will never forget going to the leasing office, nervous as ever.  All the "what ifs" that cross your mind when picking a roommate merely over a phone conversation.  I'll never forget walking into that leasing office to meet her and shaking her hand and a HUGE sigh of relief swept over my whole being.  I could just feel that her energy was good and my mom had felt the same way when we discussed it in my car on the way to the apartment.  I even remember partially what we were both wearing (and I hardly ever remember clothes if there aren't any pictures to go along with the memory).  A lifelong friendship was made that day. :)  Chiropractic school is quite a journey to go through and I couldn't have picked a better roommate to go through it with!  Love ya and Congrats! xoxo
