How I Met My Husband

Today I'm linking up with Andrea from Momfessionals for Show and Tell Tuesdays.  Today's prompt is "tell us how you met your mate, got engaged, etc."  So today I'm sharing how Kevin and I met.  You can read about our engagement story HERE, but I don't think I ever really shared how we met and started dating.


I think it was the summer of 2007 (is it bad that we can't remember? haha).  Anyway, it was summer.  My friend Kristen invited me to play co-ed softball with her and her boyfriend (now her husband).  It sounded like fun, so I went out and played in a moonlight tournament.  I had fun and met some people that were on our team.  One happened to be Kevin.  Him and his brother were playing on the team.  They actually worked with Kristen's boyfriend at the time.

We played softball together and a big group of us hung out a lot that summer.  Kevin and I were the only single ones of the "group."  Funny how that worked out ;)  After hanging out for the summer, we officially started dating in September.  I loved the way he made me laugh and have fun.  I can be pretty serious at times, he made me let go and relax.  And he still does today, 8 years later (or 7 years...whatever it is).


Whenever people ask us how we met, we always say playing softball.  We still play together now that we are married.  It's nice being married to someone who enjoys the same things you do :)
