I was divorced in June 2005, so I wasn't looking for a serious relationship by any means. Not that there weren't opportunities, everyone wants to set you up when your single. My brother, cousin, co-worker, even my car salesman had a buddy he wanted to set me up with. Anyway, in September 2005 I was at work when we had a service engineer come in to work on our UPS(backup power supply). This was the first time I ever met Dean. I thought to myself wow he's a nice hot young looking guy. He was there probably there less than an hour and was finished....bummer. About 10 minutes after he left, our UPS blew up, there was a loud bang, a puff of smoke, and an odor. So, we called him back right away. I like to think that he rigged it to blow up so he would have to come back and see me. :) He ended up staying the rest of the day working on it. He needed to go to radio shack for something, which is right down Bay road, can't get lost, however my supervisor insisted that I go with him so he wouldn't get lost. Not obvious or anything.... Anyway, he took me out to lunch, so right off the bat he got to see my eating habits. A couple hours later.....boom something else blew up. He ended up ordering parts to have there the next day, which was a Saturday, and SOMEONE needed to go in to work with him. So I volunteered! :) We were there just about all of Saturday, and he took me out to dinner at TGI Fridays. At the end of the night, we exchanged business cards and said goodbye. We emailed a couple times, about work stuff mainly. Then about a month later he called me out of the blue. That night we went out on our first official, non work related date. We planned on going to a movie, but the one we wanted to see was sold out, so we rented a movie and went back to his house.
From there on we dated, and a couple months later he even helped start remodeling my basement. That was a big project, but it was kind of fun working together.
After a few months I met his family, and soon after Jacob...that was huge step! On June 23rd, 2006 he proposed....I said YES!! Then December 15, 2006 we were married in LaJolla, CA.
We are now expecting our little princess in May, we are so excited!! We have learned a lot about and from each other in the past couple of years, and our relationship continues to grow.
