-Bill Cosby
I can't really give a proper introduction of myself without including a very important other half. Here's the scoop on this really great looking guy I met at church...
Born and raised in South Carolina, he's a true-blue southern boy (He's got that really cute drawl when he talks). He likes old country music, like George Jones and Johnny Cash, he watches westerns and owns a cowboy hat. He's athletic; used to be basketball, but now it's bodybuilding and he's not the type that half-way does anything. He's in the gym ALL the time. He loves Jesus and reads bible stories to the kids. He's a great father. He sings "hush little baby" to the girls at night and throws the football with Gage in the afternoons. He remembers everything...Everything. Mildly Obsessive Compulsive. He keeps his shoes on right up until climbing in the bed at night (that one drives me a bit crazy). To the kids, he's superman. He's got the best smile ever. He's strong and outgoing. He's a good friend.
I first saw him when visiting a church with my Mom. I glanced backwards at the clock and there he was, all dressed up, tan skin...wow. He left right after church and I didn't get to meet him, so I came back to church that night to see if he would be there again. Sure enough. He was sitting in the second to last pew...all alone. I sat down at the other end of the same pew...all alone. We looked at each other and exchanged a quick smile and I tried desperately not to look over again for the rest of the service. After church I grabbed a gal I had met that morning and asked who he was. She gave me a grin, said "come on...this is going to be trouble..." grabbed my hand and took me over to introduce us. We had dinner at Guadelajaras Mexican restaurant that night with a large group of people, and when everyone left, we stayed in the parking lot and talked for quite a while. He was wearing a t-shirt that said "smooth" on the front. Maybe that's what gave him the confidence to tell me, after knowing each other for only a few hours, that I needed him and couldn't live without him. I disagreed, of course...(hard to get?), but it turns out he was right. Don't tell him I said so. That was our start. I still see him the same way I did that Sunday in August years back. We were married in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and have been working towards happily ever after ever since.
