Where it all began

Ok, so I'm not really sure what to do on this site, but it seems that everyone is doing a blog so I figured what the heck. It will be a good way to keep everyone updated on mine and Joe's crazy life! I should probably start at the begining, which would be about 3 years ago in July when I met Joe. He says we met in June, but I'm sure it was July so to be safe lets just say the summer of 2005. I was kinda dating one of his friends at the time and I went to the hotel where all the guys where staying. They were all from Gillette, but working down here in Rock Springs and that's why they were staying in the hotel. Joe was one of the guys staying there. He really didn't catch my eye at that time because of the other guy I was seeing. But he claims he told his friend Shawn "I'm gonna marry her someday." I ended up getting pregnant that summer. My boyfriend at the time left me when I was around 4 months pregnant. I had become friends with all of his friends including Joe. They were all on my side about the breakup and I stayed in touch with them. So I continued my friendship with Joe, Mike, Shawn, and Leah (Shawn's girlfriend) for a little while, but it was hard because I was working so much. I knew it was going to be hard to be a single mom and work a lot, so I was trying to work as much as I could before my son was born. I would only really see them when they would come to Walmart, where I was working. My son Caden Michael was born April 16, 2006. I went home to stay with my parents during my maternity leave. While at my parents I went on to Yahoo personals. I wasn't really looking for someone to date, I was more curious than anything. One da i received an email from a guy who sounded like someone I could date. His profile said he was living in Rock Springs, but working in Pinedale, and that his name was joe. But there was no picture. There were other things in his profile which led me to think of Joe. I sent an email back saying "have we met?" I never go a response. I didn't really think much about it until one day when I went back to Rock Springs to move some of my stuff into my new apartment. I found Shawn's phone number in a box of stuff. I decided to call him so I could show of my new baby. He told me he wasn't in town, but that he was working in Pinedale. That made me think of the email. I told him about it and asked if it was possible it could be Joe. He said yeah it's Joe and he has had a thing for you ever since he met you. I told Shawn that Joe needed to get up the courage to ask me out because I would go out with him if he did. Sure enough a couple days later Joe called me. Our first date was July 14, 2006. We went to dinner at Applebee's, then to the movie: You, Me, and Depree, and then we went to the bar for a few drinks......
