The story of us!!

I haven't posted anything for a while. I have had a hard time thinking of anything interesting to write. So I will go with one of my favorite subject. My lovely wife.

We met over 3 and a half years ago at a local restaurant. By restaurant I mean bar. Restuarant sounds a little more romantical haha. She was sitting there with a group of people I knew and my cousin. I went to high school with this attractive young brunette, but never had spoken to her. I also use to see here come in at my old job at Sheetz. I had always thought she was very attractive, but being a shy guy, I never talked to her. So following the shy theme I got my cousin to ask if she was single and looking. It so happens she was, later to find out she wasn't looking, but an old boyfriend was in the room that night so I was used. I didn't mind. I got an introduction from my cousin and began talking to this girl. I bought her a shot and got her phone number. I was hoping this would be the part of the story where I would say "the rest is history,"but it was not. I had much more work to due to capture my future wife.

I invited her to a party at my house the next day. She did not come. I thought my efforts were lost. I did not hear from her for a couple weeks. She was in summer school and living in Radford only to come home on some weekends. I pulled an infamous drunk dial one night, but my efforts seemed futile. Then a tragedy happened. My cell phone broke. With the demise of my cell phone so was the demise of me having this beautiful girls phone number. I was pretty upset about this. So I just went along hoping I would run into her again.

The beginning of the summer went along and no more contact with this girl I couldn't get out of my head. I took a trip to Myrtle Beach with some friends and then a defining moment happened. I had been down on my luck during these times. I wasn't in school. I had a terrible job. I had no direction in life. I received a phone call while at the beach from a number I did not recognize. Guess who? This phone call changed my life in a sense. I was so excited until she said she wanted to hang out and I was at the beach. We talked for a little bit. She told me she would be home for the summer next week and we should hang out. Then began what I like to call the summer of love, or alcohol, or partying. It was a great summer lets just put it that way.

So we went out with a group of people the next weekend. It was fun. I was real impressed with her partying skills ahah. The point was I really enjoyed her company. She was fun, smart, and attractive. She was the total package. I puled a Waynes World moment. "She will be mine, oh yes she will be mine." It did not come easy. I had to do work. She wasn't going to fall for me easily. I spent countless nights staying up till 4 a.m. just to go to work at 6 a.m. just to hang out with her. My cousin went with us on our first date. I was putting in work. When I probably should have given up on her. I just couldn't for some reason. There was something about this girl. The night I realized it was funny, yet corny at the same time. We went to the Warehouse for a fun filled night. She got mad at me because I hadn't danced with her and did not talk to her much. I got mad and left to walk out to my car. Right before I got to my car. I realized that it couldn't end like this. I turned around to go back in and she was at the door looking for me. No words were exchanged. She took me by the hand and we danced to a Kenny Chesney song. Then I knew this girl was going to make or break me.

The rest of the summer was spent by me chasing the wonderful girl. I knew she liked me, but she had some doubts about my future. She didn't like the fact I wasn't in school. So I was going back to school. Which no matter how it would have ended up between us was the best thing I ever did and I owe it to her. I wanted to become a better person so I could be with this girl and I did. I knew she wasn't shallow and about money because I had none. In fact half of the summer when we would go out we would ride in my car. The interior in it was destroyed and the driver side door did not work. I would have to crawl in the passenger side to get in or dukes of hazzard it. She picked on me, but still rode with me anywhere and everywhere.

The summer was coming to an end and she was still not totally mine. She was on her way back to school and I had no idea if it would work. I thought I lost my chance. She went back to school and at first we did not talk much. Eventually we talked more and more. I started making more trip to Radford and eventually we made it official on facebook hahahahah. All my work paid off and every bit of it was worth it. Who ever said you have to work and fight for what you want was right. We dated and had our ups and downs, but when it came down to it. We couldn't stand not being with each other. This is the part of the story when I get to say, "The rest is history."
