The
story of how Tom and I met is rather unique and in some ways very
ironic. Although we grew up eight miles apart in New Jersey, we
did not meet until many years later in Chicago, swimming laps at
the local YMCA while training for triathlons. It was our love of sports and other shared interests that
drew us together.
Three
months after we started dating, we discovered my brother and Tom
had been on the same swim team twenty years earlier. We knew it
was fate that brought us together but what clinched it for Tom was
my subscription to Sports
Illustrated! He
knew he couldn’t go wrong with a woman who loved sports.
Through our shared interests and love for each other we
have become each other’s best friends.
