After taking the head football position at Shorter University I knew my time to meet people in the area was going to be limited. Taking over a program that needed a total overhaul consumed my life; I was in the office from early in the morning to late in the evening everyday of the week. As the grind continued week in and week out, I had one of my best friends Bobby Callahan reach out to me and tell me about a new dating app, so I reluctantly downloaded the app. I had no idea what would come next! Within the first day or so I connected with Leigh Ann and we starting talking about life, our families and most importantly our relationship with Christ. I was amazed that this absolutely beautiful woman wasn't taken yet. After a few days on the app, I asked for her number so we could text and I could call her. It was an immediate connection! The first night I called her I was so nervous, like being in high school all over again. She had the sweetest voice and I couldn't wait to meet here, but I was in the middle of the football season so we had to work around her schedule and mine to find an evening to meet. We found a day that we both had in the late evening so we met in Cartersville for dinner. I picked one of the only open restaurants on a Monday night in downtown Cartersville. The restaurant was in a cellar, you better believe Leigh Ann even gave me that look like, "are you sure you want to eat here?" I told Leigh Ann I had already deleted the dating app because I wanted to start this relationship off the right way, and she greatly appreciated that. We closed that place down and then walked around downtown Cartersville until late in the night. The evening couldn't have gone better from my side, I was just hoping that she would want to see me again. Believe me my fingers were crossed at the end of the night when I asked if I could see her again. That started this beautiful relationship and I am so excited I get to marry my best friend.
