Putting In Some History BORING

I am going to use January to put in some history of our family. It will take a few posts to get in all the info I want to include. So it may be boring, BUT this BLOG is mainly intended for Gage and Grayson to know what family life was like growing up. I have a notebook to put all the blog pages in. We will be able to remember dates, places we visited, and fun events. I have kept a School Days as a Baby Book for Gage, but not for Grayson (more on why no baby book for Grayson much later)

So, to start with--Jarrett and I. Jarrett grew up in Virginia. He is the baby of 7 children. He was actually born in North Carolina. I was born in Virginia and grew up in North Carolina. Jarrett went to school at Radford, city I was born in. I went to school in Greensboro, city Jarrett was born in. We met one night while we each were entertaining a friend from out of town. Jarrett was entertaining his friend Jim from Virginia. I was entertaining my friend Elaine that was visiting from White Lake. We were at Club Fifth Season at the Fours Seasons Hotel. Jarrett came up to Elaine and I at the club and asked if either of us would like to dance. Elaine did not really like dancing, but were were hanging out and laughing hand having a good time. AI said that I would love to dance, and we really hit it off. The four of us went to a restaurant Perkinsons that was open all night to eat. We left to go our separate ways, exchanged phone numbers. Jarrett will never forget that he leaned over for a quick peck and I turned my check to the side so his nice to meet you goodbye kiss landed on my cheek!! So we called each other about a week later and begin dating, March 1992. We dated for 3 yrs, saved money together, started building a first home in Thomasville, married in 1995 and moved into our first home. IT was really nice, three bedrooms, bonus room, basement, 2 car garage. We really worked hard to save and save to have this home. We lived there for 7 years. We had lots of fun going on mini trips, hanging our with lots of friends, hosting lots of get togethers, having other couples spend the night. We loved visiting B&B's. We went to Dallas, Texas, New Orleans, LA, Florida, and our final vacation BK as I call it (Before Kids) was Cancun Mexico, 1999. Gage came along 9 months later!! Wow, that was 7 yrs in a nutshell! More later!
