James and I met at CNM in our Anatomy class. I remember seeing him leaning against the wall with his backpack over his shoulder, waiting for our first class of the semester to start. At that moment, I knew there was something about him and I wanted to meet him. After a few classes, the professor had everyone break into pairs and we ended up as lab partners. I remember being so nervous the first time because we were going over reflexes and the professor had us doing an experiment on our feet. All I could think was, “what if my feet smell?” “Oh no! My toenails have chipped nail polish!” I jokingly told him sorry for my toenails and he said, “it’s ok but next time they better be purple.” So you better believe I will have purple polish on my toes at our wedding! I won’t go into all the details that follow for the next 10 years because we could be here all day but a lot of life, a move to Arizona then back home to New Mexico, a few dogs and here we are. We are very happy and excited to have you all witness our love and partnership. We thank everyone for all their support and can’t wait to share our special day with you.
