Shelbee's surprise!

Two posts in one night? Incredible, I know! haha... Well, there are just so many things to catch up on!! As the last post was an introduction to Shelbee, this is pretty much a continuation of what she brings to my life. One day, she only had a half day for work (she is a second grade ESL teacher) because she could use the day for report cards and parent-teacher conferences. She got those finished early, so she asked if she could come over to my apartment and hang out there and watch TV until I got home from work. I couldn't turn down the chance of having her welcome me home from work, could I? :)


I got home, and there was much more than Shelbee waiting for me. She had made a romantic dinner with candles, sparkling cider, and music. It was such a surprise to me, because I have never had someone do that kind of thing for me. I never thought I could appreciate her any more than I already do, but she proved me wrong! Here are some pictures that I was able to take.




















I am telling you ladies....(If there are any ladies reading this other than my sisters....) Shelbee sets the bar high when it comes to being a wonderful girlfriend. :) I am truly blessed to have her in my life.





It started with a poke....



Well, it has been a while since I have last posted on this blog o' mine, and it's all because of the beautiful girl in the picture above. Her name is Shelbee Forston, and we have been dating for the past few weeks, almost a month. :) How we met is kind of funny actually...
Shelbee was looking through the Dallas/Fort Worth group on Facebook, and saw a picture of the most handsome guy she had ever seen. She casually kept looking until she came upon my picture. She noticed that I was friends with one of her EFY co-counselors, so she decided to "poke" me. Not too much later, I was looking at my profile, and saw that I had been poked by a Shelbee Forston. I was thinking to myself.."Who is that?" I didn't recognize the name, so I looked at her profile. The picture above was her profile pic at the time, and as you can tell she is very, very attractive. So I sent her a message asking if we had met before, because if we had, I would have felt like a jerk for not remembering who she was. Anyways, she responded back saying we had not met, but that she had randomly poked me. We messaged back and forth, and the rest is history. :) We went on several dates, including lunch in a Gas Station (another interesting story for later), an Amos Lee concert, a Texas Rangers game, and dinner in a romantic Italian restaurant. My quality of life has increased a hundred fold since being with her and wouldn't trade it for the world. I am excited to see where this relationship goes!
