For those of you who don't know how Zac and I met, it goes a little something like this... (At least the way I remember it, Zac might say otherwise!)
The time & place was March 13, 2006 at a local bar on North Gate called the Groove! I was having a girl's night! We are dancing having a blast, then I realize there is something missing. I look towards the bar to scoop out the guys to see, which would be fun to bring over and let these crazy girls dance around him! As my eyes follow the bar I can hear myself thinking, "To short, to cowboy, to frat boy, to drunk, to much hair, oh wait go back go back.... no not that one... the one that is about 6'5, nothing but solid muscle and not to mention I am just starring at his back side as he talks to the bartender. In slow motion I go in for the kill! (I have always that girl that approaches the guy. Maybe cause as a kid I was told not too... But thats another story!)
Meanwhile, I approach this guy with a little flirty grin and with much confidence I might add. I say,"Would you like to come dance with me and my girls." Thinking he would be outside his mind to say no to about 7 hot chicks! He rudely replies "NoThanks I am not interested...." So I turned my confident little self around and walked away with out a responds. In my head I repeat over and over..."Not interested, Not interested. Is he crazy!" He got me all worked up and I didn't even act like the rejection had phased me one bit! So we kepp dancing and grooving! Then I feel a tap on my shoulder about 45 minutes to an hour in drunk time! "I am sorry I was a major jerk... Can I buy you and your friends a drink?" "Ummm... you better be buying them all night long after that episode!" Opps that was in my head again. I think I just said "sure" or something. Anyways, no dancing happened we ended up sitting and chatting the evening away. During that conversation we discovered that our hometowns were very close and growing up we had been at the same places and the same times but never met! As I was leaving he got my number and asked me to come to his party at his house the next evening.
The next night rolls around and as his party is starting he calls me and gives me directions. I take the directions but never showed up! I was paying him back for being a jerk the previous night! The next weekend was springbreak and I was on a fun filled journey to Mexico. We corresponded through e-mail. And the day I came home he came over and asked me to go on a date the next night! I was excited so I got all dolled up like I was going to a 5 star resturant or something... He picks me up wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt, was I suppose to be impressed? We get in the beat up old blue truck that has a duck sticker on the back! Oh know I am on a date with a red neck! And then to top it off he takes me to McAllister's a sandwich shop! From that point on we were always together. The next weekend I went home to meet the family! He later tells me that the reason he took me some where cheap is to see if i would stick around!
Today, We have been together for almost 4 years! Married with a kid! Who knew that day in the bar that I would find the jerkiest guy and he would end up being the love of my life!
Our secound date at the Groove!
Third date! We both looked so good!
Girl, I remember when you met him!!!! You could/would not stop talking about him!! And I remember it pretty much like you said it! :) I was so happy for you!!!! It's hard to believe how the good ones stick around, huh?
