Thank you all for being here to celebrate our wedding or, as we like to call it, the day we finally got a parole from planning! Most people think finding "The One" is a slow journey of dating, maybe a few months of getting to know each other. Our journey was more like a smash-and-grab. We met, believe it or not, in Corrections. Now, this is important: we were literally two total strangers. We didn't know each other from a can of paint. Our only connection was a shared radio frequency and a highly stressful environment. Then came Eric’s first day November 14, 2014. He stood up to introduce himself, and it was suppose to be him introducing himself to a room full of people but it wasn't. His eyes were locked IN ON ME. It was clear he wasn't just introducing himself to the shift; he was putting in a transfer request to be with me. The pursuit, I loved every second of. Eric is not a man who wastes time. He had a job to do, and that job was convincing me to be his. How long did it take for this massive, life-altering decision to be made between two people who were practically strangers? A blistering one week. That’s right. Eric showed up, saw me, decided, and that was that. Turns out we had every single thing in common and in the past 10 years, we’ve been inseparable. We have been through everything you can imagine, we figured out quickly that if we could trust each other during a shift change, we could trust each other for life. And look where that certainty got us: 10 years, 6 incredible kids, and a beautiful, loud, chaotic life we wouldn't trade for anything. We started as two people who didn't know each other, and now we are saying "I Do" once again as a team that has truly been through the fire. I love this man down bad. Having every SINGLE thing in common but two different personalities and what I mean by that is, Eric is the peace maker, the understanding one, and the one you WANT to deal with before the next level step in. The next level is his deadly weapon and bookie, you DON'T want these types of problems!!! Thank you for celebrating our very fast, very certain, and very wonderful life sentence together.
