How We Met
We both believe fate had a very big part in how we got together.
My freshman year of college in 2008 I went to my first sorority rush party. His fraternity helped my sisters in setting up the rush and were in attendance during the beginning. That was the first time I'd ever met Brandon. After that I had noticed him at many of our events but we never really had a chance to talk. To be honest my first impression of him was that he was a college frat boy with a cocky attitude and I pretty much avoided him. I moved away a few months later to attend culinary school in PA.
In 2009, 2 weeks after my daughter was born, I moved back to Morgantown. On September 28 I started my first day at TeleTech. When I walked into my training class there was one other person in the room and that was Brandon. I smiled wide, said my hellos, and sat down on the opposite side of the room. I didnt recognize him by name at first, I knew I had seen him before, enough times for me to recognize who he was, but I was a sleep deprived mother with a 4 week old newborn and names were the last thing on my mind.
Brandon said my smile is what attracted him to me that day, he said I never stopped smiling the entire day. I'm a genuinely happy person most of the time, and even though I was tired and the last place I wanted to be at 9am was away from my daughter, I was still happy.
We didnt talk for the first two weeks....he still had this I dont care about anything attitude, but I couldnt avoid him forever. Out of everyone in our training class we were the only two with identical schedules and all of our numbers were one right after the other so we were put on the same teams, put in the same classes, and sat beside one another everyday. Our first day on the phones we both ended up bringing in candy and sharing with one another, and that is where it all began. With the simple promise of "If you bring more sweet tarts tomorrow, Ill bring more lollipops" He became my best friend, the shoulder I cried on when things fell apart, the person I depended on when I was down, and the first person I wanted to tell when anything good happened. In December of 2009 we decided to take a new step in our friendship and begin a relationship. I introduced him to my daughter and he fell in love with her just as fast as he fell in love with me, and the more we spent time together, the three of us as a family, I quickly realized that this man, this wonderful, loving, selfless man, was the only person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Here we are today, still as much in love as we were then, and I know that our lives will forever be that way.
