Her Story: We met at UNC Charlotte at an ASA meeting where we were introduced by a mutual friend. After the meeting James joined us to get pho and our friendship began! James used to stop by my apartment and we would hang out for hours. He continued to do so years later even when I moved to the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area). I jokingly say, "he never left my apartment", but now I can say "he's still here" - forever and always. His Story: ... if it wasn't for that lunch, I probably would have never been able to meet Arlene and be the bonus roommate (I showed up that much!) she and her roommate even convinced me to quit my job everyday. Must be fate!.. 10 years of friendship and falling in love. I can't imagine being apart from my best friend, and now soon to be wife. Now I'll be a permanent roommate!
