I was living on a beautiful farm outside of Austin with my best friend, where some friends asked to host a small party. We obliged, not knowing how magical that night would turn out to be. Eamon showed up in my living room, and after a musical night jamming under the stars with my friends, I knew we had a connection. Soon after, we went on our first date to Barton Springs.
We'd only been dating a few months when, at a party, we looked at each other and both said we wondered if this would end up going where we feel it's going. Nearly two years later, at the same house we looked into each other's eyes those few months after we met, I sat Swenda down on the staircase in the back of the house, told her I loved her more than anyone I've ever known in my life, and asked her to share forever with me.
