Awww whata year this has been. I'll write this year's events in a three part series 'cause I"m cool like that......
Part I: Meeting my soulmate
I actually experienced love at first sight with my husband. How we met should win some sort of an award or something!
So there I was....
I was on CMT (country music television) and got the AWESOME opportunity to hang out with Rascal Flatts while on a show called CMT Got Me In With the Band. This was in July of 2001. God what an experience that was!! The show aired - probably around 100 times. The band consists of 3 main members, Gary, Jay and Joe Don. Well Joe Don's cousin, my now husband Josh, was in the Air Force - stationed in Japan. Josh's grandma taped the show and sent it to him. After viewing the show, Josh proclaimed that someday he was going to marry me! What a confident young man he is! Well after searching and searching for my information, he came up empty-handed, until one fine day in August of 2004. I had went to a Rascal Flatts Fan's website and signed my name and email address. The next day, I got an email from Josh saying how big of fan he was of me. I'm not gonna lie - I did think he was some sort of staulker at first. But, something inside me said 'give this guy a break!' So I emailed back and after hundreds of emails, IM's, and phone calls later, I knew that I loved him. Well, Josh was getting out of Japan and was headed back to the states. We really wanted to meet face-to-face to see if our love was for-real. So, we decided to meet in Chicago in November 2004- where Rascal Flatts were playing.
So there I was....in the baggage claim of the Chicago O'Hara airport....walking down and seeing the most handsome cowboy with a bunch of roses....I knew right then and there that he was my soulmate. The wierd thing was, my dad was asking me just minutes before I saw Josh, if I was ready for my life to be forever changed. It was like he already knew....
The guys of Rascal Flatts were sooo surprised to see us together - like how in the hell did we get together! They knew us both but not together (does that make sence?)
From that weekend on, we knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
In the first week of December 2004, Josh flew to Montana to ask my parents for my hand in marriage. He did this all by himself!! Yes! He is a brave one! And here are my folks just looking at him like "who the hell are you!" But they were good sports about it and gave him their blessing. Glad they did otherwise we'd eloped!
Goes to show you that everything happens for a reason. I'm now a firm believer in that!!
Stay tuned for Part 2 of 3!
