It seems so long ago...

Ricky and I met through mutual family-I guess. My sister-n-law (Brooke) and Ricky's sister (Rachel) are really good friends. I assume they felt sorry for the two of us and decided we'd make a good match! :) Whatever it was, I'm glad they did it! They made this big plan that Ricky and Rachel would come to my church one Sunday morning so we could see each other-after that, it was history. Ricky told Rachel he wanted to ask me out. Rachel called Brooke and Bubby and told them Ricky wanted to go riding with me that day (motorcycle). Brooke and Bubby called me and asked if I'd go. Of course I'd go, were they crazy???!!!! That motorcycle ride was probably the most boring ride in history. Ricky isn't an outgoing person by any means. He's quiet and it really takes time to get him to even carry a convo with you. Anyone that knows me knows how I gab on and on...so here I am on the back of his bike talking 100 miles a minute and there he is not saying a word. Whatever he did must have been exactly what I was looking for...

So the story goes that we had our first vacation together that Summer. We went to Myrtle Beach during bike week-with my parents, of course. I've posted some pictures of us together at the beach...our first vacation, but surely not our last!
