Our first date was the biggest indicator of what our (her) future held. I like to think I clearly expressed my, let’s just say, interests. Instead of wining and dining Mary, I decided to start off with a win - that is, a San Antonio Spurs game coupled with takeout from a fine Knoxville establishment. Mary played it cool that night, and by the way, Mary and cool are not often attached. This beautiful evening ended up being our every Saturday night for the last seven years. Taking a chance on leaving my comfort zone and heading to Tennessee was the best decision I ever made. Ending up at Cool Beans on a Thursday night comes in second. From Knoxville to Tampa to Austin - and now Cabo - we can't wait to continue our adventures together surrounded by the people that have been by our side every step of the way.
