Mia’s story of how we met (13 year old niece) One day a girl named Gabi was helping out with her sister’s job for the summer in order to earn her stay in the house. As she turned the corner of the office she found herself staring at a rugged young man. “Who is that?” She wondered to herself. He didn’t seem to notice her because he was focused on his work. Later that day, Gabi asked her older sister who he was. “His name is Thomas” she said. “Thomas... interesting.” She thought to herself. Though she wasn’t interested in a relationship at the time, what she didn’t know was that years later she would walk down the aisle and so would he. As she was helping out by organizing and other small jobs in the office, She found herself thinking about that man. What was her fascination with him? Why was she even thinking about him? Suddenly the door opened. And like as if God was listening to her thoughts, in walked Thomas. All she could do was stare at him. “Ah Thomas! This is my little sister Gabi.” Said Suzel. After introductions were done they both went back to work. A few weeks later... “Hey! It’s my birthday! Can we go dancing?” Gabi said in her usual enthusiastic tone. Her sister and brother in law weren’t in the mood to take her anywhere at the time. And like magic, Thomas appeared.” I’ll take her and show her around some cool places.” Gabi felt uncomfortable about a practical stranger taking her places, so she forced the others to come with her. They ended up at a bar. It was a country bar. Both her and Thomas were on the dance floor. As her sister watched, she felt that a possible bond was forming that day. Little did they know that soon that bond would be sealed in matrimony.
