Cliff and I have "known" each other for maybe two years. We had several mutual friends and he had come to my house. But, according to him, I was always gone or in my room doing something. One Sunday Cliff went to church with my roomates and me. After church we went to my mama and daddy's to eat lunch. This was the first time we spent a significant amount of time together and shared a couple of "awkward moments" together when I spilled water on myself and he saw.

After we left my parents house, my mom and sister called to tell me they liked Cliff and thought we should date. I entertained the thought but did not think he would be interested me. Now I know that he was.

About two weeks later I showed up at Doe River Gorge summer camp to work for my last "fun summer" before real life. Cliff had worked there for three years. One of the first things we did together was when I "cut" Cliff's hair for about five seconds before giving away the clippers. It was all over after that and we became crazy about eacht other. Throughout the summer we got to know each other and realized it was more than just a silly little crush. We continued dating after the summer was over and have had so much fun ever since.
