Most people want to know how we first met so here it is... We actually met one another playing slow pitch softball in Baxter Kansas. I was asked to pick up and play on this slow pitch team, by an old friend of mine, and that is where it all started. We played every Monday night, usually a game at 5 and 7 o’clock. The first night I went out and played, Matt had his son Elijah with him. Elijah just played in the dugout while we played our games. For anyone who knows me, knows I Love kids, so I couldn’t help but ask Matt in between innings how old his son was. He told me he was 2 years old and I said he’s adorable. Many people would think this would have been the start to a conversation, but nope. That was the extent of the conversation and we went back to playing. After the game was over I went and stayed at a friend of mines house in Webb City. That night while I was on Facebook I get a message saying Dennis wanted to connect with you. I opened the message and his message to me says “ I think you were the most consistent hitter. Good job and it was awesome to meet you”. This all happened on April 30th 2018. We talked on Facebook the rest of that night and he ended up asking me out on a date that Friday. We had planned to go to the drive-in movies, but it was raining so he took me out to eat at Red Oak Steak House in Downstream Casino. Really, after that everything kind of fell into place. We have not gone a day without seeing one another from then on. I can think of only three or four times we have been apart since that Friday and we have not went a day without seeing each other. I guess you can say we hit it off really well. From playing slow pitch to now stealing his last name. He’s kinda stuck with me forever. ❤️
