The short story is we met through work. The longer story is we both have different memories of the first time we met. I would like to say that I was right, but it turns out Craig was right. Although I don't recall the first meeting, the years together have created countless memories that I will never forget. I am not right all the time, just frequently... : ) Yes, it's true, I remember the first time we met and she does not. In fact, she was certain we never met until I found an acrylic gift with the date of the event on a shelf in her office!!! She conceded it "may have happened..."
We went to Vegas for a fun weekend to celebrate Jules' 60th birthday. We had plans for dinner, drinks, the Rod Stewart concert, gambling, basketball, laughs and memories. What I didn't know is that Craig also had plans to propose. Both of his brothers- Andy and Bill, Jules, Deidre, Conor, Rachel, Morgan, Tyler and Larsen were all there and knew. He had already talked to my Mom, my sisters and even my son, Jonah. To say I was surprised is an understatement! It was so unexpected and I was so surprised that I was left speechless.......which doesn't happen often. I eventually got to "YES!", but it took a few minutes for me to process. Craig thought of every detail that weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Kimberly was stunned or shocked or hammered...I was on one knee and finally had to say, "Baby, it's a yes or no question..." : )
