Family and friends just knew we would be perfect for each other. So, not knowing anything about each other, we agreed on a date to Texas Roadhouse. He picked me up from my apartment and I can remember being impressed by the Ford F150 truck in my drive. At the end of our date, I called my friend and told her that I didn't think we were going to work out. Little did I know, it was going to work out just fine.
Fillies and Lillies. A few months later I was invited to attend the Fillies and Lillies Derby party. I decided to say yes to this once in a lifetime opportunity. Although shy at first, we quickly fell in love with the atmosphere, cocktails, music, and each other. Afterwards, we found our way to the swing set at the Glendale park at 1:00am. We played more music and laughed and danced and it was that night that I knew that there were many more nights to come.
In the middle of my family Christmas party, Rod and Zoey went to the bathroom to wash their hands together. They reemerged with Zoey handing me a small open box upside down. It was perfect. I was so confused with what she had until I saw Rod getting down on one knee. I fumbled with my words and finally said "YES!!". Zoey was so thrilled to be a part of everything! Now, we can't wait to say "I do!"!
