How I met my husband.

First, let me give you a little bit of background.  In 2006, I was in my eighth year working at a doctor's office.  I had been the receptionist but once I returned to college I began doing the medical records in order to work the hours that accomodated my school schedule.  I enjoyed my job but knew that I needed a better paying job since I was a single mother...that's why I decided to return to school.  I graduated with a Bachelor's in Sociology, in July of 2006 and a month or so later applied to work for the State.  I ended up getting a job in October 2006, as a child welfare specialist in a town just an hour away.  For the first couple of months I commuted the hour to work and back so my son didn't have to change schools in the middle of the semester.  My son and I moved in mid-December and the day I met my future husband was January 2nd, 2007.  My mother and my niece, Alice, had come for a visit to see my new apartment.  My mom suggested we go to Incredible Pizza to eat, in Tulsa, and that's where we went.  As soon as I walk past the cash register I see this good-looking guy walking towards me so I smile and go fill up my plate with food.  Later, I'm in the gameroom and I notice him walking towards me again.  He walks past me and stops, turns around, and asks me if I was seeing anyone.  I said no and so he introduces himself.  I knew that Incredible Pizza was a place for kids so I asked him who he was there with.  He paused and said he was there with his ex-wife and kids.  We continue our exchange with him asking me where I worked and how old I was, etc.  He gave me his phone number and I called him later that evening.  There was a party that weekend that my coworkers and I were invited to so I thought that would be a perfect opportunity for me to invite DaRell.  Nine months later, in October 2007 he proposed to me during breakfast at The Golden Nugget, in Las Vegas.  We got married two days later, on October 11th, at a wedding chapel.  This past week we celebrated our three year anniversary and I can't imagine myself any happier.  I know that good things  happen when you least expect it because us meeting that day at Incredible Pizza was so out of the blue.
