Darren and I met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. We were both a bit nervous, but really wanting to meet someone nice that could maybe grow to more. :) It was one of a very few first dates I've ever had, but I cannot imagine a better one, ever!
We met at local Peruvian restaurant and enjoyed the food and visiting. ( Shining moment: he watched for me and saw me park "wrong" and hit "softly" the embankment behind the store...he ducked away to keep me from seeing him, and yet...he still asked me out again.) Aftewards, he asked if I wanted to go to a group sing-a-long nearby...it was Dec. 16th...so, it was the annual "Christmas Hoot". It was a really fun time. Looooong story short, next Dec. 16th he proposed and I accepted. We were married in May 2007. I was 31.
So....we wanted to have children and began trying after a year and a half. With one miscarriage a year later, early on, but still so hard emotionally, we found out we were expecting again...finally! 2 years later....this time....TWINS!!! We are still amazed and excited. Lots can still "go wrong" I suppose, but so much has gone right this time and we just choose to believe that this time is meant "to be", a gift from God that He will let stay. That is our conviction, and our joy!! We are 16 weeks along today.
Other fun facts: we are remodeling our ktichen. It's the last room in the house to be worked on. I will finally have a dishwasher!! :) I think Darren and family are doing a truly great job!!
We like music...all kinds!! bluegrass is the big winner, but we like classical, some country, and some Christian songs as well.
Love it!
