Everyone has their love stories and we know our love story isn’t necessarily perfect, but we continue to grow and love one another through good and bad. In the end, it is what makes our story perfect for the two of us! Let's rewind ten years to 2008 when our paths first crossed and sparks flew for the first time. Now, we didn’t start dating then, but the spark had first ignited between the two of us. On my 20th birthday, I was out celebrating with my girls in small town Victoria. Alex ironically ended up at the same place. Neither one of us knew anything about one another still, just remembered the first glance in 2008 and the butterflies started within us both. I couldn’t help but stare and watch him as he acted his normal outgoing, crazy self. I was trying to get his attention, but I was so shy that all I could really do was look towards his way and look away, but we all know Alex lol. Once he caught me looking he just kept dancing around our group acting a fool but it sure was entertaining to watch. Finally, a slow song came on: “She Won’t Be Lonely Long,” by Clay Walker and all I was hoping for is that someone would ask me to dance. We all know I love to dance but another reason was that it was getting later in the night and songs were coming to an end! All of sudden, here comes Alex and we danced our first song! He will probably say that he only asked because I was the only one left to dance with, but we all know that my beauty won him over! That night he swept me off my feet and the rest was history! Since then we have celebrated many birthdays and each one reminds me of our first dance and the various songs and dances we have celebrated too since then. I have found my best friend and soulmate. We have found one another and are ready to begin our forever lives together with our two boys! This is Us: Alex, Leslie, Jayke, and Zane.
