Squirrly & FI
I grew up in central Kentucky. I was a nerd (ok, still am) but I played sports and worked on the high school paper. I was a weird athletic nerd, basically. I went to college, moved to Alabama, and got a promotion to move back to Kentucky. After a while, I realized I was working for a company that sucked the life out of everything, so I got a new job and landed in Louisville, Kentucky. Once I got there, I decided that coaching volleyball would be fun too, so now I'm a computer nerd by day and coach by afternoon/evening. And sometimes I referee too.
FI grew up in Boston & is in the Army. He's been all over, but landed in Kentucky not far from Louisville a while back. We met about 3 months after he got to Kentucky, and the rest is history.
Before he met me, he had never really had anything to do with horses. I grew up riding and my grandparents still have horses, so FI has gotten into it now too. And, he LOVES going to the races.
Churchill Downs (home of the Kentucky Derby) hosted night racing last summer & we decided to go one night. While we were there, FI proposed! Not in a show-off kinda way - I don't think anybody noticed until I started crying - and it was very sweet. If something can be intimate in a crowd of thousands, it was. We don't have any pics of us from that night, but we did get a sweet pic of the track and the grandstand crowd.
