Our Wedding

Jeffrey and I met at work. We had 2 locations at the time, and I was transferred to the other location. Jeffrey started bouncing between the 2 locations and we got to know each other. Hien - I'd say you got to bug me more. We both had busy schedules, and kids from our previous relationships. We both had gotten to know each other in the next 3 years. He asked me over for dinner one night. I heavily debated this idea and was planning to decline the dinner. Josiah insisted that I should just go and see how it turns out. He made a home-cooked meal and wouldn't let me lift a finger in cleaning afterward. From that dinner, our relationship sprouted into a flower. LOL We had some more outings and enjoyed each other's company. He shared my love for food, and other various things. We spent countless hours on the phone, just rambling away. We finally started dating by the end of the year in December. It will be 5 years, this year! We have accomplished so much in those 5 years together. We have a beautiful, spunky 2-year-old. Along with 2 crazy kids, Sophia &amp; Draiden. We can't wait for the coming years together! Or when Jeffrey is old with a walker, and I'm right behind him, nudging him with a cane. HA!
