Our Story 3-17-07

Clay and I met in college.. Funny story actually. I saw him about a year before we officially met. He came to an intramural basketball game to watch his sister play on the Delta Zeta Team 2. The Team "2" meant that this team was just out to have fun... Not really win the game. Just so happened that I was on the same team as his sister. I spotted him from across the court because he was a tall, good looking gentleman. I must say that I was extra goofy that night (cheering on the wrong end of the court instead of playing, laughing, pulling some LeBron James moves in slow motion) Enough to make him remember me! After the game, I asked Kaitlen (his sister) if that was her boyfriend. I didn't want to step on her territory. She said "No, that's my brother." I told her that I thought he was cute and she said we should meet.... But nothing happened. I went my own way to a social event that night and carried on about my business. About a year later, I ran into him at a back to school party. I recognized him and went to talk to him. He was so shy that he didn't get my number. So I wasn't going to let it stress me out. I pressed forward. Little did I know that a mutual friend saw us talking. She knew me... She knew him... and she secretly gave him my number. I didn't even know she did it. We never even talked about Clay to each other. But I must say that I am so thankful that she did it. We have been like bread and butter ever since the day he called me (which happened to be the next day)! So I am so very thankful for Sarah Van Bebber-Penny!!! So we "officially" met in August and started courting the end of August/September. He asked my parents in December if he could marry me and in April we were engaged. Wow-za! Talk about a love bug that bit us bad! Our 3 year anniversary is coming up in March so I am going to post some fun wedding pictures. We got married on St. Patrick's day. It was such a fun day. I was able to share that special day with so many people that I love. Friends and family make my heart feel special. These past three years have been full of lots of fun and lots of learning. I am so thankful to have such a sweet, caring husband. I don't know if I will be able to blog as much before our actual anniversary. (Thank  you snow for making me stay cooped up in the house!) There is a picture of a girl looking through a window below. That is a picture of Sarah. She is the one who gave Clay my number. I thought it was such a funny picture because she looks like such a matchmaker looking through the window. My photographer took it randomly and didn't even know she was the girl who made it happen. Such a funny picture to me.
