My husband Jonathan (a.k.a. Jon) and I met in June of 2006. He was working for my aunt and somehow he persuaded her to introduce us. For me it wasn’t the greatest of times. My grandmother was very sick and ended up passing away at the end of June, and I wasn’t really looking for anyone.
As a side note, I know, they always say that when you’re not looking is actually when you’ll find someone, but I didn’t REALLY believe it until I lived through it. Come’on- You know you don’t really believe it either!
So We began to pass notes to each other though my aunt. **Weird scenario that perhaps I will explain at a later time** I eventually, through a strange turn of events, started working for my aunt too. We car pooled to and from work together, we took lunch together, we had dinner on the way home together, we went to church together on Sundays. After only 2 months it seemed like an eternity. It seemed like we had been together 10 years. I suppose spending 15 hours a day together 6 days a week will have that effect. We got engaged in October of 2006. We eloped on December 6, 2006. And had our real ceremony and reception on March 23, 2007.
I don’t know what happened. I fell head over heels, upside-down, side-ways, how ever you can fall. And not just that, but I turned into one of those girls I hate. I completely deserted my family and friends. Not on purpose, I just got distracted by him. (I do that a lot… get distracted I mean. I also fall a lot, break stuff a lot, and get lost a lot) I never thought I would do that.
While in college I wrote an entire article for the school’s paper about “Single People versus Married People” and how despicable I thought it was that once people “fell in love” they completely forgot about the world around them. I thought it was down right rude and uncalled for.
But… (there’s always a butt) That is totally what happens when you fall in love. You just become dumb. I think that’s why the wedding song sounds that way. This is my official apology to my friends and family. I can’t explain it. I’m dumb Now!!!

Ha Ha Ha!!!! Crazy little “couple hater” Angela caught the bug! I remember when you wrote that paper, or you telling me about it. I think I may have even read it once. I’m really happy for you Angela and I wish you and your husband all the joy life can bring. (don’t worry about the Friday blues) Just wait till the dust settles. You can see more when it does and then you will know what to do. Here is some advice I recieved not too long ago… Don’t fight the river of life because it’s going to take you were it wants to take you so don’t fight it, just have faith that life (God) knows what he is doing. Take Care!
