SUCH a cute story ... "some geek from Maine." Sounds like Brendan and Ian were a true meeting of the minds.

I love how his mother and his aunt were fully in harmony over his college choices. How sweet.

i love it! that must have been so much fun for bren to realize one of his good friends was going to be with him at school. i can imagine they helped each other a lot their freshman year -- everybody needs support to survive their first time out on their own like that. what we really need now is a great "almost burned down the dorm building trying to cook mac-and-cheese" story, and we're all set!

Wow, that is a great story. For some reason, as...

Wow, that is a great story.

For some reason, as I read the story, I just couldn't picture the "geek from Maine" ending up at the University of Arizona.

Things happen for a reason, and good thing that both Brendan and Ian ended up at Texas. The situation definitely worked for them.

Thanks for the story, Brendan's grandparents!

i thought i might as well join the trend and come out of hiding as well.

"We had to swim in 102 degree weather in Greece, now everything is indoor for you kids !!"

And then Aaron will say. "You think you had it bad? I had to do that too. But I had to do it on my back!"

Why do I think these boys will be like my Grandpa was? haha! Oh, probably because he was an amazing man too.

*tear* what a lovely story grandma and grandpop !! Thanks for sharing -- It is really nice to know the history of the guys and all =)

"When we were young we had to swim for 4 hours a day! In the rain. Uphill! You kids have it so easy!"

Lala- that was the funniest thing I've heard all day. That was a great story- thanks for sharing!

2005-01-30T20:17:00.000-06:00

I love that story. I love when you meet a friends in your teens and keep them forever. I know that Bren is planning to stay in Texas, but is Ian? It would be cool if they could be old Grandpop's together. Telling stories about their lives:

See how much better it is to add your words to the conversation?

Come out AnonyMice. I can see you hiding there. It is better to be on my team than on my opposition.

2005-01-30T17:16:00.000-06:00

What a nice story - I'd always assumed Brendan and Ian had met at UT. And I completely agree with what Rowdy Gaines said - the fact that Brendan actually comes on here and posts as well as his family says a lot about his character and the Hansens I think.

Thanks for sharing Gmom and Gpop! :-)

Oh and Cait, I saw I love the 90's too - they didn't include enough Aaron I

2005-01-30T16:26:00.000-06:00

aww, that is such a great story. i love hearing stuff about friendships starting like that. it's so cute. it was cute how mrs. c and mrs. h were comparing notes on schools. i liked how brendan picked UT. that just shows how much thought must have gone into it. :)

"Everyone who comes in contact with Brendan echoes what Rowdy Gaines said"
it's kinda funny, cause that's really true

Awww, what a nice story. Thank you for sharing!

2005-01-30T16:05:00.000-06:00

aww, that was such a cute story!

And yes, I agree, really good friends are hard to come by, and if you are lucky enough, you should hold on to them.

"a tall, skinny kid from Maine.".....oh just say it. LANKY. He was a lanky geek from Maine. haha.

2005-01-30T15:57:00.000-06:00

The one thing that stuck in my head after the sweetness of that story was how cute Bren probally looked jumping up and down. True friends don't come along often,so when you meet one,it just feels right. I have a friend that I will talk to forever. We don't speak too often anymore because of distance and schedules. The cool thing is I can call her after months and we pick up where we left off.

What a lovely, sweet story. It's nice to see that ...

2005-01-30T15:47:00.000-06:00

What a lovely, sweet story.
It's nice to see that the people you meet on the road are the ones that become your closest friends in the end... casue after everything else fades away, friendship is still there.

sorry, I'm so emotional today cause I just got back from seeing my best friend and this story just fits a lot.

Great story. Funny to hear how fate steps in, and for what its worth, I think both guys made a great decision.

2005-01-30T15:31:00.000-06:00

Ditto Janine--I always assumed that they met at UT. Its cool to hear the "real story" :) Thanks for posting Grandma & Grandpop!

Thanks so much for the story Grandpop and Grandmom...

2005-01-30T15:03:00.000-06:00

Thanks so much for the story Grandpop and Grandmom! I always wondered how the Trio met and became friends. I assumed they just met at Texas. Did Brendan meet Aaron before Texas too?

Rowdy Gaines is a smart man. It seems like Brendan is just an all around great guy. =)

LOL at 'the geek from Maine'! Such a sweet story!...
