C&J Getting Knotty

Sunday evening at Dulles airport, Cindy returning to Jacksonville from attending her brothers wedding, Jeff unexcited about traveling on a Sunday to attend meetings in Jacksonville that week. The two of them destined to meet one way or another, initially saw each other as they were waling towards each other in the middle of the terminal, neither one willing to move out of the others way. Jeff finally gives as he steps aside, both give quick smiles and they go about their business. Jeff boards the plane early as he always does, puts his headphones on and hopes not to be bothered by anyone. Cindy boards the plane and the two, once again make eye contact. Cindy realized that her seat is next to Jeff, both thought what are the odds of this happening. Jeff helps to get Cindy's bags in the overhead and settled in her seat, he again puts his headphones in. Cindy not to be ignored because she is way too cute, kept initiating conversation. Jeff reluctant to talk to anyone on airplanes kept trying to fight it. As destiny would have it, two mechanical break downs and quick trips during the delays to the bar inside the terminal, Jeff finally realized he needed to take Cindy out while in town. Several dates later, they knew there was something incredible and undeniable between them. Luckily, Cindy is persistent and Jeff listens and pays attention to her.

It was the weekend of Jeff's birthday and we had planned a large house warming /birthday bash at the new house, since then referred to as the "FRIKI TIKI". We had worked hard getting everything ready for all of our friends and family to arrive and were so excited to celebrate with everyone. We had old friends and new friends all together having a great ole time. The girls were doing our typical thang dancing around the pool carrying on when suddenly the music stopped, and of course we were all like what the heck :). Then Jeff calls everyone over to gather round and begins thanking everyone for coming to celebrate and how much we appreciated them all being there, and then he turns to me calling me over to stand by him. So he proceeds to announce how happy he was we had met and mushy gushy yadda yadda I realize oh boy I better set my drink down for this one.... of course being the amazing gentleman he is he gets down on a knee in front of all of our friends and family and proposes and guess what I said YES!!! So thankful that our paths crossed and a little trip to my brothers wedding turned out to be one of the best things in my life!
