Our Wedding

When Adolph and I first met, I had just started working at a retail rent to own store in Victoria,TX,&#160; an hour away from home. The lady that trained me said on Thursday vaccum a little bit later because Mr. Hopkins will come in with his dirty work boots and you will have to do it again. I laughed. When i got ready to close Thursday evening, sure enough, Mr. Hopkins came stompping his tired boots thru the floor with 3 big steps to the register.&#160; For the next couple of weeks, I'd turn off the vacuum and race him to the counter to provide customer service. This went on for about a few weeks. One day He came in to make payment, I thought I would test his sense of humor and slow him down a bit. As he came in I said Mr. Hopkins please leave those dirty boots outside the next time you come in here. He gave me a small chuckle not really knowing what to think of me and not knowing if I was joking and stormed to the counter to pay. On the day he came in to payoff his account, all cowboyed up form head to toe in a hat and boots, my sister Denise who was my manager had to help me close out his account as I did not know how to yet. She introduced Mr. Hopkins as one of her best customers. He always says in that moment he hoped I would not put my hand in his hand because he'd knew I'd steal his heart. I sure did slide my hand gently into his hand with a firm handshake and said hello Mr. Hopkins. He then stood there staring at the karaoke machines frozen in search of words to speak to me. I asked him, Mr. Hopkins are you okay and he said yes, why. To prevent the moment from becoming awkward, I asked if he was interested in a radio. He said maybe just a small one. I replied oh these are big speakers but we received a truck in today. We have the new shipment in the back where he followed me to see. I really didn't know what the product was but thought I&#8217;d make a little time to talk to him a little more lol. I found a small box and said here's one. He said that's the one I want. He never even looked at it but I didn&#8217;t think he was going to make a purchase. So now I was thinking maybe he is not flirting,&#160; I turned around to tell him I was not too sure about the product and caught him checking me out lol now I started to get nervous and as we filled out the contract&#160; I asked him to sign on the line he stated write your number there next to my name. I laughed and told him he thinks he's slick. LoL My sister the manager came out of her office and asked Mr. Hopkins when he wanted to have the radio delivered and he said no that's OK, I can take it with me. She said ok and went to the back and grabbed a big speaker box. I told her no, he is taking the little radio, she laughed and said we don't have a little radio. I went to the back to show her and she laughed and said that is a piece of the 3pc&#160; karaoke machine. LoL the three of us laughed and I told him Mr. Hopkins this is not what you asked me for, let me return it. He insisted on it being fine. I apologized for the mix up and asked him if he was sure he didn't want me to remove it from his account. He said woman it is fine, leave it. I'll take it. I helped him load it up. Thank God he had a Yukon because anything smaller and the three pieces would not have fit. I told him if he needed help setting it up to let me know and i would help as its part of the delivery service. I was slick and wrote my number down on his contract while he was talking to Denise but he didn't know it. I guess the Holy spirit was working because I would have never wrote my number down. When he got home he placed his folded up contract on the table and went to put his 3 piece karaoke together he said he sat down and the contract unfolded all by itself.&#160; He said something told him to look at the contract and got up to look at it and found my number lol he said he never would have looked. Mr. Hopkins called me and asked me to come put the karaoke together for him. My manager said no we could send the delivery guy to do it. He got mad and hung-up. Lol.&#160; He asked me to go have dinner with him but I declined several weeks before I decided to go have a quick drink with him at Froggys before going home after work. Our first date was a fishing trip after work New Years Eve. It was a beautiful warm evening and a little chilly night. We camped out in a tent under the stars in two separate cots on Magnolia beach.. It was perfect! We had so much fun under the sky filled fireworks we agreed to stay another night, New Years day. I caught a 50lb whopper of a fish that evening. The fish was huge and got stuck between two big rocks. I had my water boots on and I was going to lose him so I jumped right in the water and climbed over the rocks and grabbed my fish by its mouth and tail and carried that heavy fish to shore. He said now I know you're country like me. LoL A huge wind and rain storm rolled in shortly after. We thought we'd ride it out in the tent but in the middle of the night the storm grew stronger and we were getting cold and&#160; wet. So we jumped in the truck and all our equipment blew away. LoL As we sat there in the truck and laughed&#160; I was still feeling the excitement of my catch and told him I'm sorry you didn&#8217;t get to catch a fish. He turned and smiled and said I already caught my big fish. That day the good Lord taught us we could weather any storm that comes our way. May God bless our past, today and our future with more fun, patience, strength and most of all His greatest gift of Love!
