Q&A Part III – How we met
By Moriah on January 13th, 2009
Remember those questions? Well, Jackie had also asked how Andy and I met, which I saved for this separate post. (Lucky you.)
It was the fall of my sophomore year of college, and a friend and I were chatting in one of our dorm rooms when she casually mentioned that I “needed to be nice to people who smile and wave at [me].”
What! What is that supposed to mean!
I asked her WHO did I not ‘smile and wave’ to? and she would not say. But it was such a pointed remark, I knew she was talking about a specific instance involving a specific person, but one that I clearly did not remember.
Finally she said, “just be nice to Andy,” and tried to leave it at that. I thought she was referring to another, different Andy we were both sort of acquainted with, and was confused as to why on earth she’d care whether I said hi to him or not.
After a little more discussion that I can’t go into here, we figured out we were talking about two totally different people. And then she said she was referring to Andy ______. (Last name omitted for obvious reasons.)
Me: “who’s Andy ______?” I’d never even heard of him before.
(See? How could I have been expected to WAVE and SMILE to someone I didn’t even know existed? So there!)
So of course at that point, I started asking about this mysterious Andy and she declared him “really cute.” That obviously piqued my interest, and she and I started scheming an introduction.
A couple of days after that, we were about to sit down in the cafeteria and she grabbed my arm and nudged me; quickly and discreetly pointing over to a dark-haired guy already seated at a table, I think with one of the professors. She was right, he WAS cute.
A few more days and I spotted him sitting and eating with several of my friends, so I nonchalantly walked over and sat down next to Suzanne. Andy didn’t see me and was standing up to leave, realized I was there, replaced his tray on the table, and sat back down.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

Aw, that is so sweet! :)
This made me smile so much – you have no idea! But I find myself wishing the story continued…Part 2 maybe??? My favorite was when he was getting ready to leave and then promptly sat himself back down when he saw you. Awesome!
I love that he saw you and sat back down! What a fun memory.
oh, the Great Hall, it truly was a magical place, wasn’t it! That is a really cute story!
I love it!!! I didn’t get to experience Covenant with you, but the story did take me back to our high school days. Oh we had fun. Awww the fun memories we make!
Very sweet! It’s nice to start my day with a happy story!

Flutter, flutter. There ain’t nothin’ cuter than a smitten man.
