Close to 7 something years ago I was working a closing shift at Heinens, when this handsome boy came in to get himself some dinner. We chatted briefly about Thanksgiving plans and he went on his way. I'd see him in the store from time to time, not thinking anything of it. Fast forward 5ish years to a Friday when he came in for a stir fry. I realized I hadn't seem him in a while and he then informed me he had lived in Florida the past 2 years! After that day he was in there weekly for "stirFridays." Eventually he learned my real job was doing hair, and he started seeing me for haircuts. We got to know one another better, and after a year of attemps to take me out I finally gave in. We met at Burntwood for a beer, had a great time, and hung out a handful of times after that. But for some reason I didn't have interest in much more than that! It wasn't until the first kiss that things really changed. (That's a story of its own, you should definitely ask him about it!) Looking back now I can see how God was doing work in both our lives, and He was patiently preparing our hearts for what was next. Well, needless to say He had it worked out! So countless stir fries, a few hundred haircuts, two summer shandys and one kiss later, he asked and I said yes.☺️
