Chad and I went to high school and college together, but never really dated. I did sneak him into my house one night in high school where he slept in my closet, and we spooned on my parent's blue, velvet couch once. No kisses. Chad likes to say that this was all some master plan of his, and that he was playing "the long game". Thirty four years later, we will make it official. A very cool side note is that Chad actually knew (and really liked) my dad through baseball in high school. As many of you know, I lost my dad (and best friend) suddenly in 2013 so not having him to walk me down the aisle will be difficult for me. Chad and I have spent the last two years building a house, relocating from Austin, and combining families.....and we STILL want to get married which is a great thing. We are so excited to spend our big day with those that we love most of all.
