...Twice!!

How I Met My Husband

I guess before I get into this survey about Kip, I'll give you the scoop on how we met for anyone interested! It all started when I was asked to play on a coed single adult softball team for church. I went one night and Kip was there playing on my team. I wasn't instantly attracted to him, he knows what I mean by that... Oh, okay I'll explain: (he had on a purple and black shirt with red shorts, a blue Boston Red Sox hat, and black mid calf socks on with his cleats... utmost attractive, eh!!) Now that I have explained myself. He and his friend Lloyd asked me to come throw with them to warm up, he said he was very impressed that I didn't throw like a girl!! We had fun playing. I played second and he played short, we made a pretty god team too. Between games our team went to Wendy's for dinner. This is an important part... later I found out he was so excited that I sat by him and that he was very attracted to me. Then that weekend was 4th of July, I went to a little get together with the people from the team, Kip came walking in, I could not stop staring at him, he looked GOOD!! I thought wow he cleans up nice! Later he got my number from Lloyd's sister Megan and asked me to go out. And the rest is history, we have been together ever since!!
