Love Is in the Air
on TV, and boom! — we’re having that for dinner. We seldom have sandwiches because she’s usually testing out a new and delicious recipe. This month, we’re leaving the cold weather behind for a trip to Mexico. We’ve been looking forward to it for a while now, and so have our friends and travel partners. When the trip was still a couple months away, they sent us weekly reminders leading up to it — “50 days left until Mexico!” and “35 days until we fly away!” It was a fun way to anticipate the vacation. Linda and I aren’t the only ones who have found romance at Fore Court. My brother Brian also met his wife, Noelle, at the club. They were introduced right here in the lobby. Another employee also met their significant other here, and now they’re married too.

If you were at the club that day, you might have been lucky enough to try some, as she shared it with our staff and club members. I’m always amazed at her skill. She’ll see a picture in a magazine or watch a dish being made

“We were both in college, busy with books and homework, and yet, our love blossomed.”
After being introduced, Linda and I fell into a natural, easy conversation. We talked that day, and soon after, I asked her on a date. We went out a few times, and over the course of the year, that turned into a relationship. We were both in college, busy
