For those that don't know how Blake and I met, its not your typical "love story".

I was living in Houston for about 6 months when I met a random lady at my apartment complex pool (my future mother-in-law). I had a NASA hat on and she started talking to me about Engineering and how her son was an Electrical Engineer in Houston and he had just moved here about year and a half ago. I told her I was an Aerospace Engineer that worked for NASA and she asked if she could give me her sons number. Long story short, she gave me his number, but never gave me his name so I didn't know his contact. (yes I am one of those people that still has contacts from 6th grade and have no clue who half the people in my phone are now).

Well 6+ months go by and I was sitting with my mom and my aunts and I found Blakes contact. My mom and aunts convinced me to text him even though I thought it was weird to text a random guy 6 months later, whose mother gave me his cell phone number at a pool because she said her son wanted to work at NASA.

So I did... and Blake responded.

After exchanging a few weeks worth of text messages, we met up at a Bakfish Brewery in Houston to talk about Engineering, and hit it off.

Blake later asked me out on a first date to go see a Astros/Rangers Baseball game (Blake was rooting for the Rangers and they lost) and the rest is history.
