How We Got Blended

How we became the Camp Robins Clan. My best friend, Kristal, worked for Danny and kept telling me that I should go out with him. I kept telling her no I was already dating someone; but she wouldn't give up and finally I was single again. She called me to tell me that Danny got run over by his own car. Once she told me he was fine I was cracking up but I wanted to see if he really was fine so she gave me his email address and I sent him an email asking him about getting run over by his own car. What a story!!! He emailed me back to tell me he was really fine and we started emailing each other. Now just so you know that I wasn't a complete weirdo I had met Danny once before while I was dating the previous guy at the bar one night while out with Kristal. So he did know me when I emailed him, well sort of. During our emailing I asked him what kind of music he liked, see Kristal, her hubby, and I were going to see Brooks and Dunn and I had an extra ticket and was going to invite him. Well his response was "anything but country" well that was not good. This concert was 5 different country artists and lasted like 6 hours. When I told him why I was asking he said the only way he would go was if he could pay. Well hell yes. The date for the concert was July 6th. Then came Kristal July 4th party and Danny came, this was the first time I'd seen him since starting to email him. We talked at the party and a bunch of us made plans for the next night to go to dinner. Then came the day of the concert. I have to give him huge kudos for hating country he took like a pro. The next day we went to a Columbus Crew game and a Columbus Clippers game. Now all this was in July of 2001 and we have been together ever since.
