Brittany was born in Arlington in September of 1984. She moved to Wylie, Texas, when she was 5, where she started school, dance lessons and sports. She enjoyed riding her bike, crawdad fishing and rollerblading. Even though she lived in the city, she was a country girl at heart. She played volleyball, basketball and golf in high school and graduated in May 2003. She became a Fightin' Texas Aggie in fall 2003, where she was involved with Aggie Sisters for Christ. In January 2004, she began praying for two things: that God would give her a plan for the upcoming summer and that her future husband would be seeking His will. Soon after, she had a fateful meeting with a camp coordinator from Rockin' C Ranch, who invited her to come work as a summer camp counselor. In May 2004, Brittany began working at Rockin' C...
Preston was born in Dallas in March of 1985. He moved to Scurry, Texas, when he was 5, where he became the epitome of a country boy. He four-wheeled, fished, hunted, camped and got dirty, and he had a new scar every time he came home. He also had a love for all sports, but in high school, he focused on baseball. He graduated from Scurry-Rosser High School in May 2003. In fall 2003, Preston made a fateful trip to Rockin' C Ranch in Lindale, Texas, to visit a friend and realized deep down that he should be there, too, although he couldn't quite put his finger on why. In January 2004, Preston began working at Rockin' C...
( ) => Preston's Commentary
The first time Preston saw Brittany that summer, she was walking through the door of the lodge at Rockin' C. He remembers her long blonde hair (and her tossing it as she ran her hands through it) as what caught his eye. Brittany remembers thinking Preston was cute, but she also thought that he would just be a distraction that she didn't need (she was just playing hard to get). Preston, hard-headed as he is, kept after it, and she finally decided to give him a chance--the tight jeans and boots didn't hurt. They couldn't date because it was against staff policy, but Shannon, one of Brittany's bridesmaids, put them on dish duty together. They built their friendship over pans of greasy baked chicken, and by the end of the summer, they were officially together (she fell head over heels for me). After one semester apart, while Preston finished his internship, they were reunited at Texas A&M University. Whoop! The rest is history...
