I was almost ready for bed when I realized between going to see the string quartet, going out to dinner and getting back to watch and blog about the games, I missed something important. More important than missed foul calls and buzzer beating layups.

That is because 22 years ago, Heather Strange and Mary Kate Yost-Daljev set me up on a blind date. That night, I met the most wonderful woman in the world, Elizabeth Yost. I could never begin to imagine the impact that two good friends thinking about us to setup a dinner date would have.

The inside joke is that our friends thought that we were so square that we were perfect for each other. So as Elizabeth and I smile, it is important to remember that two squares make a rectangle.

22 years ago, my life was forever changed. Good friends led me to find the love of my life. Elizabeth – I found all I’ve waited for, and I could not ask for more.
