How Kyle and I met

Kyle and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary yesturday May 4th. I have to say we have a great story to share with friends, family and mostly our two beautiful daughters about how we met. It is definitely one of a kind. Who ever does not believe in love at first sight or fate then this story might change your mind....

Well it started in July of 1993. I am two years older than Kyle.. Yes I know!!! I was a mascot for Tarleton (the purple poo)... If you don't know what they are you disguise your identity until you graduate. Kyle comes to freshman orientation. At the orientation there is a live band and a dance. I sign up to go to the dance and promote school spirit. Well I get to the event and scan the crowd and find a really cute guy. I go up to him and his friend and mess with them. I dance with them and have lots of fun. I know what he looks like but he does not know what I look like. I have on a purple robe and mask......I walked away that night telling my Poo friends.."I am going to find that guy in August when school starts!!"

The next month goes by and it is a few days before the fall semester starts. I am a peer advisor which is a program that promotes community and school spirit with freshman. I was in front of the dining hall handing out my group cards and I run out... As soon as I am done, Kyle walks out of the dining hall. He passes by and I am going OMG it is that guy!!!! He smiles and keeps walking but turns around and is telling his friends something. I continue to see him throughout the day during the Peer Advising Activities. We just keep looking at each other and smiling. I feel like he knows me but I thinking he can't know me!!! I was covered up and I didn't talk to him in my normal voice.

That night I go out to Bostocks and well I have to say I was a little drunk. I am having fun with friends and dancing. All of a sudden I see Kyle!! He comes up and asks me to dance. So we are dancing and I ask him, "Do you know who I am?" He says, "Yes!" I say, "No, Do you know who I am?" He says, "Yes!"... One more time... I say, "NO, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" He says, "YES I KNOW!!!"... We dance and have fun. Well the night is over and the bar closes and we part ways.

Two days later, I am going into the bar again but a different bar around 9:00 and Kyle walks out. I ask him why he is leaving and he says he doesn't know anyone. I tell him to go back in because I am coming in and I will introduce him to all my friends. We had a fun night and even went to a party after the bar.

He has to go home for the weekend and he breaks up with his GIRLFRIEND!!!! He called me Sunday night and asked me out on a date. We went on that date and the rest is history......
He proposed to me on March 17, 1995 in front of the dining hall where I was standing handing out my peer advising cards. Our Pine tree is still there but the dining hall was just knocked down.

Later, we dicussed how he knew it was me... He said, "It was your legs and perfume!!" It is still funny to think he knew it was me.

We have had a fabulous 13 years together. I look forward to many more. I am truly blessed to have Kyle in my life...... I am thankful that I was able to find my soul mate who had all the qualities I wanted in a husband.

Thanks honey!! I love you MORE!!!!!
