We met in May of 2008, the night of Joey's high school graduation at a little event called Ring Dance. This is a traditional dance that is held at the Air Force Academy every year for the Juniors who receive their class rings. The event is followed by a weekend of fun and games in the mountains. We had different dates to the event, but managed to stay in contact after the weekend.
After getting a chance to see each other again, we were separated by distance when I traveled to Corpus Christi for an internship with Toyota and Tim spent time at Eglin AFB in Florida during summer terms. We were eager to see each other again so we planned to spend 4th of July in San Antonio. We spent 4th of July at Laughlin Air Force base watching fireworks and going to Schlitterbaun, a water park in the area. Our first official date was on July 5th, 2008. It was intended to be a very romantic dinner on River Walk, on our way to dinner, just as Tim reached for my hand I fell down the stairs of the River Walk. Immediately followed by embarrassing horror, the women in front of turned around promptly screaming, "OH MY GOSH SHE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS."
Needless to say, Tim was a keeper after that.
