Joe and I met purely by chance which we have always felt was serendipity. I was on a temporary duty assignment at Maxwell Air Force Base as the interim principal of the base school. I had been there for over three weeks when we met at Central Restaurant in downtown Montgomery, AL. I had returned from a day trip to Peachtree City, GA to close on a condominium I had recently purchased. I was excited to be at Central Restaurant to enjoy a celebratory dinner. I was offered a glass of wine that I had not requested from the bartender. When I questioned it, the bartender said the gentleman at the end of the bar asked him to serve it to me. After introducing ourselves and talking, Joe invited me to meet him on the following Sunday for Sunday Brunch. It was lovely! I left the following Wednesday to return to my home and workplace: Peachtree City, GA. Now, it's been over eight years and we are very happy to be planning our wedding and spending the rest of our lives together! We are so grateful to have out of state family and friends who you will consider traveling to Santa Rosa Beach to celebrate with us! And, many local friends to celebrate with too!
