They met while picking out Christmas trees with mutual friends. After his first conversation with her he told his friends “I would never date a girl like that, I’ve never known anyone to have so many things going on & it made his head spin.” She cooks, sews, owns her own place, has a great job but is continuing her education, scrapbooks, works out, is involved in a love affair with a bird named “Oliver” and has an intense variety of interests. Then he learned she also has her own dirt bike and all bets were off after that. He is an active person after all and didn’t realize that when he would meet his match it would mean that he would literally meet his match in life. …….She hesitated at first and tried to fix him up with some friends and rationalized that he was a little younger, he was back in college and honestly, she just wasn’t in the market for a relationship. But sometimes isn’t that how life works and Superman shows up when you least expect him? Together they encourage each other, pursue an active life, they laugh A LOT, make the rounds to visit their families, ride dirt bikes, snow board, run marathons, go back and forth on whether or not their vegetarians (their love for steak interferes with that decision) and look forward to traveling after James graduates this year. I’m pretty sure James also gets into crafts and scrap booking but won’t comment. His Christmas proposal was unexpected, a whirlwind……why did he get me a jewelry box for Christmas (I asked for a red coat?), why is he getting down on one knee with all of these people around us?? (OH MY GOODNESS, IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING??)….here it comes…..and she said “YES!”. Good news, true love is still alive and well and a new life is about to begin…August 6, 2011!
