Love of My Life











I am a little new at this whole blogging thing but I thought I would give it a try. So, to start things off I thought I would tell the story behind Matt and I since that is my life these days. Matt and I met in 2006 while playing co-ed softball. Okay actually Matt remembered that he was a pick up player on my team a couple years earlier and I remember him but it's not like we talked or anything. Anyway, we were playing ball against each other and he kept stopping at first base (where I was playing) and talking to me. He asked me to meet him at home plate after the game because he thought he knew me. Yes, ladies, I fell for it. He gave me his number and I had to run over to my mom and ask for something to write with so I wouldn't forget it. I actually wrote it in pencil on my mitt. I chickened out on calling and sent a text message "making sure I had the right number" We talked for hours that first night and things have blossomed since then. After almost two years and me wondering if he was ever going to ask me, May 2008 he finally popped the question. He took me to dinner at the nuthouse in Lynden and after blindfolded me in the truck. He drove me around while I was blindfolded and then made me get on his back and we walked a little while. Once I took the blindfold off I was standing on first bast where he met me and Matt was on his knee. One of the greatest nights, yet I know there is so much more to come. We decided on a destination wedding so March 10, 2009 with family and friends Matt and I will be standing on Megan's Beach in St Thomas saying our vows (yeah). No worries though I will keep the updates on the wedding posted. That's our story for now.
