I met Michael in 2008 at a friend’s house. A week or so later he started to work the same place as I did. After a couple of weekends hanging out and playing cards he asked me to be his girlfriend, of course I said yes!!! That was on September 22, 2008. We eventually moved in together and lived in Carrollton until October of 2009. From there we moved to Bolivar where the magic happened. We were at home pretending that Santa came, because we only had his kids for Christmas Eve. We went to my parent’s house that day and stayed until dark because when it gets dark the kids think its bed time. So on the way home the kids fell asleep which couldn’t have worked out any better. What they didn’t know is that while I was putting them in the car their dad had put the presents under the tree. When we got home they thought that Santa had come. We started to open presents, well we had opened up all the presents and played for about an hour. Then I started to clean up all the mess of the paper and ribbon. His son called me into his room and "distracted" me with a whole bunch of goofy things. Then his daughter called me out into the living room and asked me what the box in the tree was. So I went to investigate, there I found a small box wrapped up and I started to cry immediately and when I turned to find him he was right there behind me and asked me to be his wife, of course I said yes…..Since then we have picked our date to be on May 28, 2011. More information to come soon.
