How we Met- Eric and I met probably around the time we were 5ish, or whenever Patty moved to Ordinary way, or whenever Sarah was born...to tell you the truth I have no idea.  But I do know every time for as long as I can remember Eric has been at Patty's when we were to go over there.  Patty is my aunt for those of you who didn't know, my dad's sister.  George passed away (my uncle) from ALS in October of 2006, obviously Eric was going to be at the service.  I remember he had facebook messaged me the Thursday before to see what I was doing for the Tech vs. Georgia Tech game Thursday night, I of course being so super cool and living in Arlington already had plans to go to Bailey's with all the other Tech peeps, Eric didn't make it out.  That Saturday was the funeral, there was a big party at their country club that night to celebrate George's life, and then an after party on Patty's deck.  I guess you could say this is how we re-met.

First Date-  Our relationship started off slow, mainly because he was in Norfolk and I was in Arlington.  After the funeral and Eric returned home for his date (with another girl) the next night, we would IM every night, and kinda text back and forth I think.  I would always get "good morning beautiful" on my way to work...so cute!  Anywho, Eric came back up to Arlington a few weeks later and we hung out again, I guess decided we were dating, it's all just a blur.  I ended up going down to Norfolk for a weekend, with Callie in tow (a whole nother story there, bachelor that never had a dog now has white fluffy hair all over his house haha), and our first date I think technically was at Gillians.  Which is a place in Norfolk, like a place you go and play games.  It was fun!!

First Kiss-  Our first kiss kinda happened in Patty's family room after the after party, ooops!

How Long Did you Date- We dated for almost exactly 3 years before I Do!

Our First Picture- Rhino Bar in Georgetown, thanks Court for the snap!

 

And that's how it all Began!!!!!
