Valdez, AK

How we met

The start to forever

I just moved to Valdez from Texas with my then 11 month old daughter, Camryn. I heard from someone I just met that she needed a sub on her team for softball that night. I went to the Gold Fields nervous as all get out. I went to her dug out and my eyes were directly fixated on James. I knew at that moment that I needed to talk to him, being the social butterfly I am. We started playing softball, and I was on 1st base. James fumbled the ball on 3rd, got upset, and bombed the ball to me at 1st. Mannnnn did it hurt! He throws super hard. Later that night when I was home, he messaged me on Facebook asking how I liked playing with the team. I told him I loved it but I needed him to come over and kiss my hand better. Well, he did… and never left. The rest is history!
