How we met

Some of you may know our story and don't need to waste 3 minutes of your life reading this and some of you may not know our story and don't need to waste 3 minutes of your life learning this! :) I'll tell you the story either way and you can be the judge!

Caleb and I met in October of 2004, almost exactly 4 years ago to the day. Caleb is good friends with Paul Attaway who married my sister and when they were dating we were introduced to one another (and that's the NON confusing version). We hit it off from the first night we hung out but did not actually start dating until June of 2005.

We had interesting things happen in our relationship from the start. Starting with September of '05 when I became extremely ill with mono. I basically did not leave the house for 2-3 months straight and Caleb was there every step of the way, bringing me food, movies, making me laugh when I had my really bad days and so much more. I don't know who it was more difficult for, me not being able to do ANYTHING and being more sick then anything else I had experienced in my life or for Caleb who had to spend everyday with a girl who was sick, in bed all the time, didn't give him the attention you normally get in a relationship etc?? But after 2 months of me being in bed and another year of trying to get my health back to normal we learned a lot about each other! I wouldn't go back to that time but I wouldn't change it either.

We had been dating for close to 3 years when Caleb proposed. We were on vacation with his parents in Puerto Rico in April of 2008 when he asked me to marry him, I told him to let me sleep on it for a few days and after thinking it over I said Yes! ;-)

We were married by May 31st 2008.....yes only 4 weeks later. (Hey when your ready your ready!)


Although this is not the way to do it for everyone is was perfect for us. We had a fairly small wedding and not your traditional wedding in my perspective. As of yesterday we have been married for 4 months and have not had a moments rest in that time.....between working full time, trying to buy a home (we are on the fourth house), taking a couple vacations, and just LIFE happening it's been full. Life is great and we are excited about what is to come. We are "supposed" to officially own our home by next week and will begin the moving process......we'll believe it when we see it!
