falling in love with g.

Dear, sweet, precious Carlye tagged me to post 8 random facts about myself. However, I think we all may have had about enough of me by now, what with that one time I posted 100 random facts about myself. I don't think I can think of anything else!

So, I am altering this a bit. What I will do, Carlye, is post 8 random facts about G & I and our courtship/marriage. Or maybe just facts about Greg, I don't know, we shall see how it goes.

Moving right along...

1. The first time G & I spoke in person, the conversation lasted 3 hours. We were standing in the Exit Realty parking lot, against my car.

2. The first time we ever spoke on the phone, it lasted all night. Literally. Until like 4 in the morning. (This conversation happened the night of the 3 hour parking lot conversation-I can't believe we didn't run out of things to say).

3. The first time we went on a group date (with Andy & Jenny) we went to see 'Fun with Dick & Jane' and we talked so much, I couldn't have told you one thing that happened in that movie.

4. The first time we ever hung out alone, I didn't come home until 4:30 in the morning. I tried to sneak in, but my Mom caught me. They weren't too pleased to hear that I'd been with
"some 25 year old" all night. I was 18 and my curfew was midnight. Yikes. (for the record, it was my bad, not G's...he tried to make me leave. You can't reason with a girl in love)

5. Greg's proposal was a complete surprise. I had no clue, up until the point when he began to bend down on one knee. I didn't really understand what he was doing and I held on to him tighter, maker it hard for him to bend down!

6. I wasn't nervous at all the night before our wedding. I slept like a baby. This is odd, considering I get nervous for everything and usually have a hard time sleeping through the night on regular days!

7. G's good friend, Joe, told him that he thought Greg would marry me before Greg had even met me. Joe had met me and he said "he could just tell that we would be perfect for each other". He wasn't the only one who felt this way. We had lots of co-workers tell us that they thought we would like each other and should go on a date. I was very intimated by him, though, and he knew how young I was, so we kind of avoided each other. Up until the 3 hour parking lot conversation (more like 'the conversation that changed my life')

8. Besides telling a few people, we kept our relationship a secret while we were both still working at Exit. We tried to be all sly and not let anyone know. It was a BLAST.

And that's a little bit more about how we came to be.

As usuall, I am going to tag anyone who wants to play. If you're low on blog material, post 8 random facts about yourself, or your spouse, or you dog...whatever floats your boat. Thanks Carlye, it was fun remembering what it was like to fall in love with my husband.
