Smitten in the Mitten

Wayne and I have known each other for quite some time. We’ve both been playing in coed slow pitch softball leagues in Midland for years, we knew of each other due to playing one another or playing on a pick up tournament team. To be honest we never really spoke or gave each other the time of day. It was summer of 2017 & I wanted to expand playing ball on more nights so I asked Wayne if he needed girls for fall ball on Monday nights, he said yeah so I joined his Monday night team. As fall ball season progressed and us talking here and there I started to develop a crush on him. I had only told one person and we left it alone. So fast forward to Christmas Day of 2017 I posted on Facebook that I’d like to get out of the house and do something and I’d need a date! 😂 Wayne thought he was being funny by responding but little did he know, that within a few years he’d be stuck with me! So on NYE of 2017 we had our first date bowling with a group of our friends. I’d say the date went pretty well considering we’re here today! I have never been with someone that can make my bad day turn into a good day with just a simple smile or “hey, you want food?!” Other than us having several common interests alike, we are definitely each other’s better halves. And I cannot be more blessed to call him my husband!
