Well, as you girls know your father and I met at Mississippi State University. We technically first met in the Spring of '06 when we both worked for a fried chicken place called Abner's. I thought your father was really cute but had a boyfriend. Your father had just gotten out of a serious relationship and one of our co-employees actually asked me to find someone to set him up with. Luckily, I didn't know anyone that I could hook him up with. My boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks after I started there and I had it set in my mind that I was going to go into work and hit on your father. Well, my did not work as he quit the night before our next scheduled shift together. After he quit, I was talking about my disappointment about not being able to try to date him, when a fellow co-worker told me he was a huge player. I immediately put him out of my mind at that point.
Fast forward 3 months later to the start of fall semester. On August 25th I got a phone call from a friends (whom I had casually dated for a week) and one of my good girl friends to meet them at Bin612 for a beer and lunch. I should probably note I found out this day that these friends had been dating behind my back. They thought I would be upset about it so they hid it (very badly, as I totally had figured it out) from me. Anyway at lunch they asked if I wanted to go with them to the Delta Chi house for the bid day party to go down the big slip-n-slide. I of course said yes and asked my friend, William if he had any hot fraternity brothers he could hook me up with. William said he did not know what would constitute as hot. Anyway, I went home changed clothes, and they came to my house and picked me up.
As soon as I arrived at the Delta Chi house I immediately started scoping out the guys. I finally spotted a guy I thought was really good looking and I also thought he looked really familiar. Any clue who it was? Yup your father! I was drinking some beer trying to figure out how best to get his attention when I heard someone call his name and I instantly knew who he was. I walked right over and re-introduced myself (he also knew as soon as I said Abner's who I was and admitted he had had a crush on me when we worked there). Well, basically the rest of the day consisted of me trying to act cool by hanging out with my friends and then walking up to your father and hitting on him some more. Trust me, I made it perfectly clear that I was interested in him. I definitely did not help that I was drinking the whole time and was definitely beginning to feel the effects. Your dad spent his day casually flirting and acting only vaguely interested in me. He did manage to use some great one-liners such as "you can do freaky things with this rubber ducky." Ah, your father was a charmer, hah!
Anyway, at the end of the day your father finally asked for my phone number and I got him to give me a ride home. I really did not expect him to call as like I said he did not really act too interested in me. Well, he did text me eventually stating that he was going to my friend Amy's house. He did not ask me to go though and since I did not want to seem like a total stralker I decided not go even though I had been invited by Amy. He texted me throughout the time he was over there and he eventually said he was bored and asked if he could come over. I of course said yes and he came right over. We stayed up late watching the first season of the tv show Weeds, since he had never seen or heard of it, and eventually we fell asleep. Yes, he slept over the first night, yes it was in my bed, no we did not do anything except share one awkward kiss. Awkward because of the strange position we were sitting in. And well that is it, that is how we met. Next up is our whole dating period.
