Nov 12, 2005- to Nov 23, 2005
When I was 15 I met two guys (Glendon and Shelby) at a party. They told me to meet one of the guys girlfriends since we went to the same school together. So my friend and I tracked Amanda down and to this day she is one of my best friends.
................
Little did I know that one of those guys would be my husband one day.

Over the next five years Glendon and I would sort of hang out at our friends parties, he had his girlfriend at the time and I had a boy friends. Neither of us had any interest in each other, other then I did think he was cute but never told anyone. The summer after my graduation our best friends got married and moved to Illinois. In 2003 Shelby and Amanda came home for a visit and just like old times there was a party! Only this time both Glendon and I were single.
When I arrived at the party Glendon got a look at me and didn't recognize me. He went over to Amanda and asked who I was. But I didn't hear him. Wink! Wink! That night everywhere I went Glendon went. He crashed everyone of our girl pictures and kept putting his very cold beer on my arm. BRR We talked all night and for the rest of the summer every time all the friends got together Glendon and I would hang out. We went to birthday dinners, swimming, hung out at Shelby's mom's house, (RIP BARBRA, we love you!) in one of Glendon's home movies of that summer he kicks his own cousin out of a chair so I could come sit by him. I LOVE IT! It's hard not to laugh at it. Finally summer was coming to a wraps and Shelby and Amanda had to return to Illinois to the Air Force. The night of the last gathering to say goodbye, Glendon needed a ride home. So, I took him. When arriving to his house we talked a little and that's when I realized that he grew up in the same neighborhood as in Amy's (my other best friend) boyfriend, (Brad) and a few other friends. Small town. When we finally wrapped up our conversation Glendon asked me for my phone number.......I said "no." Because by that time I was started to work things out with my ex boyfriend.
We both went on; him to another girl and me back to my ex. We ran into each other over the next year or so but never talked.
In Nov 2005, Brad and Amy were engaged and came in to Vancouver to do some wedding stuff and for Amy's birthday. For her birthday we went to Charlie's. A bar here in town. A bunch of friends came up and it was a lot of fun to see them. Glendon's ex-girlfriend came there to meet up with one of the friends and Amy. Amy asked her to call Glendon to come up there and he did. When he arrived I leaned over to Amy and said "Damn Glendon's looking good." She looked at me and laugh agreeing. Over an hour or so Glendon and I exchanged glances at each other from across the table but never talked.
Finally he made is way close to me while talking to random friends there and I finally, with major butterflies in my tummy, said "hi," to him. OH, I WAS SCARED! We ended up talking all night and hanging on each other. The party moved to our friend's Ashley and Joey's house. STUPIDLY! Amy and I drunk dialed an ex of mine and he came by and we talked for like 20 mins and Glendon was soo jealous, it was cute.
This was all on the night of Nov 12, 2005
Over the next couple weeks we talked on the phone like every night 20 or 30 times. It was like a school girl crush!
One night of a wedding that I went to with my parents unexpectedly, Glendon called me the whole time I was there asking me if I was done yet so we could have out. After I was tired and just wanted to go to bed. The next night I went out with my mom and drove her home and yet again I was to hang out with him and I didn't. Finally, the day before Thanksgiving that year I said "yes," and we got together. What I great date, we went out to Beaches and meet up with a BUNCH of his guy friends.
AWESOME!
NOT!
After Beaches we went to an old bar to shoot pool. Well, him and his friends not me. It was fun for what it was and I did get to meet his friends. They were cool. Glendon was shooting pool and I was standing sort of near him talking to his friend when out of no where, Glendon came up, grabbed my hand wrapped his arm around me and kissed me. I was shocked!!!! I have never kissed a guy on the first date before but this boy was different and I knew it.
We dated for almost a year when Glendon asked me to marry him. A few months later I got pregnant with Carter. We thought about rushing a getting married but we didn't see the need to. We were together and that's all we needed. The Christmas after Carter was born I finally found the ring I wanted and Glendon bought it and proposed Christmas night with my ring! (we were too busy to open presents that morning) The following Nov 2008, we were married the day before our our three anniversary. This November 22 marked our second wedding anniversary and the 23rd marked our fifth year relationship anniversary.
In Jan 2010 we welcomed our second boy Mason.
I truly married my best friend, the one who completes me, the one that complements me as a person, the one who stand strong next to me and holds my hand through thick and thin, the one that I will love for all time.
Here is to the life of my life, my husband, Glendon.

We had a great anniversary date going out to the Portland City Grill one of my fav places, and the we were to go to Harvey's Comedy Club, but I suprised him with great seats at the Blazer game. Sadly we lost but was still a great night.
