Jim and I met through mutual friends back in the fall of 2007. I was working as an x-ray technician while taking courses to achieve my business degree. Thanks to my lack of knowledge in Algebra a friend suggested Jim as the perfect person to help me achieve one of my biggest accomplishments. Before I knew it, Jim was helping me a few times a week.

Jim and I quickly became great friends and each other's "person." We accompanied each other to every local outing and started doing fun activities on the weekend such as kayaking, concerts and going to the beach.

Jim and I loved going for long walks on the beach whenever we could escape.
