It’s Spring 2016 and I’m well on my way to being the youngest cat lady in history! (I’m cool with that) Decided to coach Sydney’s softball team well cause let’s face it at 31 I should be doing something more with my life! It’s a chilly spring evening and we had just won our game I have to get things out of the dugout (I’ve been on the waiting parents side before, you just want to go home not have a 30 min pow wow at 10 pm)! This tall bushy haired man walks up and says, "hi." I kept kind of doing my thing guys don’t say hi to me remember I got the cat lady thing going people see that a mile away! He says hi again okay fine I look up wowzers who’s this guy? Hi I think I managed to say back (hurry don’t look long he’ll see the crazy!)
This gets long I’ll fast forward a bit…
I find myself on the bleachers baking like a chicken one day so I slide down a few times finding some shade, finally getting my way at my house and painting my room. I’m telling the ex mother in law all about it and guess who’s sitting near by Mr. Hi Guy, Ease dropping, the nerve of him! Game ends (waiting 30 minutes for the pow wow to end) the team comes rushing out, "let’s go momma did you see that slide?" off we went. Mr. Hi Guy decided he wanted to chat and messaged me on Facebook about needing to talk, great another psycho parent wants to tell me how their 10 year old is going to college. "Well I’m having dinner with my daughter call me tomorrow." He did not disappoint and called as early as he could (he was on a mission), "hey uh I’d like to take you out!"
WHOA!! HOLD ON - didn’t he see the cat lady look all over me? "No I don’t think that’s a good idea. Thanks though." Persistent is his new nickname - he kept giving every reason it was okay to go out with him , my mind is racing what the heck is a date! I haven’t been on one of those in years (11 to be exact) let me call in the troops! I agree dinner will be fine…
Fast forward 5 years Mr. persistent has delivered, "IF WE DO THIS RIGHT, WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE!"
What the hell just happened where has the time gone? We still have forever to grow together and now you want me to be your WIFE!! I like the way that sounds! (We are getting kind of old to be saying boyfriend and girlfriend) it’s been a whirlwind to say the least but I’m so happy that you chose me to be your partner, fixer of things (even though it drives you nuts) drink maker, and soon to be wife! I love you Derrek Adkins!
