3 Years Later...

This all started because I was bored and wanted free food.

August 29, 2008 there was a bar-b-que for the end of the summer for my church group (people ages 18-30). It was a big deal being put on in north Denver (about 45 minutes from where I was living). I went in the hopes that people from my old group would be there since I hadn't seen them since I had moved a few months earlier. I got there and soon realized that I didn't know too many people. So, I grabbed some food and sat on a bench to eat and then leave. Right after I sat down, a cute guy walked up and was just standing there eating. Somehow, the conversation got on about being the only one there divorced with a kid. Little did I know that single comment would land the man of my dreams!

We ended up hanging out and talking in his car long after everyone had left. Actually, the only reason we stopped talking was because around midnight cops showed up knocking on the window wondering what we were up to.

There was instant chemistry! We went on an informal "date" the next day with me and the kids I nannied at the time. Got a chance to talk and see if it could go anywhere. We both knew right away there was that spark, attraction, that thing that everyone is looking for. We covered the main "what are you looking for" topics the night before.

So here we are three years later. Still in love, still having an amazing time just talking in the car! We've conquered some struggles and risen up pretty high. We are each others best friend. I am so lucky to have taken that chance to go to that bbq. I met my husband!
