Reggie is a personal trainer at RAC in Rome. I would see him at the counter welcoming people and waiting on his clients. After I got done swimming the in mornings Mueller and I would go do weights and ab work at the gym. Reggie was at the counter and thought I was a student at a local college!!! When I was walking out of the gym one day, he offered to do a personal training lesson for me!! I was super happy because I had been eyeballing him for a while not knowing he was eyeballing me as well!!! Training session went well but we both thought the other person wasn't interested. Then a few months later I fell while jogging around the gym. I stepped on a rock and rolled my ankle. The class ran to get help and Reggie came out to see who it was and what had happened. Mind you it was 6 am and dark outside. He couldn't see who it was until he got closer and then said, "Oh, it's you...." He helped me up and while walking back into the gym he said, "I can't believe our first hug is a sweaty hug!!" Throughout the day he called and texted to check in to see how I was doing. Later in the week he said, "if it isn't better by Friday, I will come massage it." He was being slick and just wanted to hang out! From then on we started hanging out and never stopped!
We were taking a quick Saturday trip to Birmingham to visit Reggie's family! No big plans just hang out with the family. While talking and reminising in the living room at his Dad's house Reggie got up and said, "come with me real quick!" I thought he asked me to follow him to the kitchen but he stopped me before we got out of the room. He grabbed my hand and looked at his Dad and said, " This woman has been by my side for a long time. She is my better half and I love her with all my heart! We've been together for a while now and I've been wanting to do this. I thought of different ways to do this but there's no better way to do it then in front of you." He got down on one knee and looks at me and says, " I wanted to know if you would be by wife...will you marry me!!!?" I said, "Oh my gosh YES!!!! It was such a suprise that i wasn't even dressed nice or had my nails done. I was in slippers, jeans with holes, and a t-shirt! !!! It was amazing because his son Erinn got it all on video seconds before his phone went dead!
