Our Intro

We were both living in San Antonio, Texas and we met working at TGI Fridays,it was a fun time in our lives.I was in school and he was just out of the Army. I trained him to be a waiter, at that time we were just accquaintances. About 6 months later and a blue cheese incident, we started spending time together and having some really great conversations. We lent each other an open ear in a much needed time for both of us. After a few weeks of bonding and innocence feelings started making ther debut and we started dating. Our first real date was on Halloween,we went to a Haunted House with Sabrina,Howie, and Jess. After Christmas we took things easy and by June I was busting my butt to "win him over". By mid July he accepted my offers and we took a week long vacation down to the coast, and camping in the hill country with his family. It was an amazing time. Soon after that we became inseperable and we moved in together. We had a tiny apartment and went to breakfast at Jim's every Sunday. We would spend mornings and nights on our tiny balcony looking at the stars, and talking about our the rest of our lives. We adopted our two kitties Meg and Precious, and they became our little girls. In 2005 we moved to the suburbs of Chicago. David started going to school to get his bachelors, and was working for an online university. After a few months he landed his dream job as a technology specialist. Missy worked in a few schools for children with special needs. On March 17th 2007 (St. Patty's Day), we were engaged! It was on a ship out in the middle of Lake Michigan on the dance floor while Miles Davis was playing. We planned an April 2008 wedding in Austin, Texas. Before our wedding we moved out to Cary, Il to a house that gave us river access. We love it here! Our basement does flood often though. After our move, Missy landed a job with the local school district, and is very happy! Our wedding was beautiful and amazing. We had a great time with all of our family and friends. In July we took a "honeycation" to Padre Island, Texas. We stayed at Grandma's beach house, and visited with both of our families. We took a fishing charter by ourselves and caught a ton of trout! David even caught one red fish! In September David graduated with his Bachelors of Science in Information Technology. Afterwards we took a celebration vacation road trip to the Catskill Mountains, The Berkshires, and Niagara Falls. We also were able to attend Missy's cousin Nicole's wedding. The trip was beautiful and the road trip was so fun! It was an experience we got to check off of our always wanted to do list. In October David turned 30! The Thompson's came to town for a visit, and we had a great time! Five days after they left we learned that we were expecting a baby, and that is where this blog will begin!
