On this day.....

February 8th, 2008 is a day I'll always remember. It was a Friday and I was working at our shop in Garland. Darren and I had been dating since Thanksgiving, not a day went by that we didn't spent time together. We talked about getting married, and i suspected a ring would be my birthday/Valentine present. But Darren is Darren and can never wait to give a gift, so sometime after 4pm Darren walked into my office with bouquet of roses and asked me to be his wife, the ring was in one of the roses and in my excitement i may have accidentally dropped it. We found my mom in the back and told her the great news! That evening we had a romantic dinner at Taco Bell with Darren's sister Mandi and her husband. Now 3 years later our love has gotten stronger, our relationship better, and our patience and understanding has grown. One of the first things that drew me to Darren is that I could be myself with him from the day we met. I love that about our relationship. We have lots of fun and tease each other and laugh a lot, we aren't into PDA at all, we both hog blankets, and we both have similar ideas about life, work, and money. It's a relationship that just is going to last forever. This picture is us on that  Valentine's Day.
