Pumphrey Pea in the Pod: Our History

Every big moment in our lives has started with a phone call...our first date, our engagement, finding out that the offer made on our home was accepted, and even our wedding (that one is a bit of a stretch because there was no actual phone call but rather some were keeping up with the game 2 of the 2010 alcs Rangers game throughout the ceremony via their phone, so to me it works).

Jaime made the first phone call...and the memorable long, awkward voicemail that got the ball rolling, but Mike brought it all full circle with the voicemail asking me to be his future wife. Our story is our favorite. It is just like the voicemails we left each other, long and awkward. We have tried throughout the years to give a short version of how we met, but it seems to get longer with each share - so here is my try once again at telling the shorter version of how we met...

I needed a date. My friend, Aaron, gave me Mike's number. Mike didn't answer. I left a voicemail that went on and on. I thought surley this guy won't call me back, but he did -- because of my voicemail! We went on our first date March 1, 2008.

Whew! I did it! There's the shortest version ever told of how we met!
