How We Met

Heartthrob Red

After staying with the parents for too long, our humble 3 human, 2 cat and 1 dog family had finally found the perfect house. The quickest way to make a new house your home is to choose your own paint colors. (Can you see where this is headed?) March 13, 2014. I was a single mom of two teenage girls. I was pregnant with twins. And I was cheap. My favorite color is red so obviously I needed a red accent wall. On my budget I tried (& failed) to fall in love with several sample pints from "the other guys". I finally conceded & decided to shop the expensive (but quality) Sherwin Williams. It was a chilly Thursday when I walked into the empty store, wrapped up in a coat & scarf so my belly wasn’t showing. I set my sites on the exceptionally tall sales guy, plotting my charm attack for a discount. We chatted. The amazing part of this story (well one of the MANY amazing parts) is I had just bought his friend's old house. He had spent many a drunken evening in my new-to-me home & shared with me that he also loved it. After several minutes of small talk, I revealed that I was from Des Moines, I was pregnant although the babies weren’t mine (if you don’t know THAT story, how did you get as far as our wedding website?!) & yes I charmed my way into his employee discount. That day at 4:01 pm I received a friend request & a message “How did that red turn out?” Some may say he was providing exceptional customer service. I would like to think this was his attempt at flirting. Through a miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, the delivery of a delightful baby, Gavin, through the crazy stage of 2 teenage girls, a new puppy and all of your typical relationship adventures – we have fallen in love. I waited a long time for my soulmate. I didn’t think I was going to get one! I certainly didn’t fathom finding one that would love my daughters with a depth comparable to my own. But here Anthony is. And I get to be his wife. The name of my Sherwin Williams’ red paint? Heartthrob ♥

For all the days along the way
