Let's see...
I was in my senior year of college in Dahlonega, GA, which happens to be the hubby's hometown. I decided not to play ball my last year (I had shoulder surgery and was going to do my student teaching in the Spring), so I ended up being the pitching coach for the local high school team instead. I was coaching his little sister, who told him he just had to come see her new coach. He came to a game, and the rest was history! Ha!
We went on our first date to a Mexican restaurant in town and back to my apartment where we spent the next 4-5 hours talking. I started our date with my hair down, and ended the night with it in a ponytail. When he told me I "was beautiful with my hair up or down, and most girls couldn't pull that off," I totally fell for him & that line...what a sucker!
We spent the next few years spending as much time as possible together, getting to know one another, growing in our relationship with each other & with God. Our faith is super important to us, and definitely the foundation of our relationship. (Along with a pretty solid friendship!) We dated for 4 1/2 years...enjoying (almost) every moment. We laughed, went on walks, watched movies, played, went on dates, vacations, & even bought a dog together. We took our time until we knew God was ready for us to get married. On March 6, 2010, Big Jon popped the question. I said YES! Duh.
