How did you meet your husband?
Kelvin played basketball at the downtown Y when I was a fitness instructor. I had never talked to him before. It was New Year’s and I saw him on the news. The man interviewed him about drinking over the holiday weekend and he said no because he would not be out there with a bunch people drinking for the first time. So the next day I saw him in the gym and said “Did I see you last night on the news?” He said “yeah that was me” and then we started talking.
Then in a couple weeks he started coming to my office after he finished playing basketball every day. We started dating soon after that.
