Weddingbee bios

                                  

I am a 1950 housewife wannabe in love with my career field. Mr. FF is a firefighter and he is super sexy in his gear and I pray for his safety everyday. Mr. FF and I are always on adventures outside or playing on the beach with our sons, Rocky (a Pit bull) and Buster (a Lab/German Mutt). We love cooking and we are always trying new and different things to cook. We love our careers and love working on the same ambulance when we get the chance.

 

I love baking, crafting, photography, outdoor sports, gardening, playing with our kids, fishing  and living on the Weddingbee site.

Mr. FF loves being outdoors, being OCD about our yard, water sports, boating, fishing, and cutting holes in the roofs of house that are on fire.

 

 

In July of 2007 I worked for Medstar, which is an ambulance service for the city of Ft. Worth. My paramedic partner was Mr. FF cousin. Late night we were hanging out waiting for a call when she asked if I could find her cousin on myspace. So off I went searching for Mr. FF, and to our amazment I found him. He was very handsome, but I knew he was a sailor with the merchant marines, which meant he drank a lot, was never home and really I wasn't looking. So I emailed him for her and from then on we started talking.

After talking for a few months on and off, we blew each other off. He went back to sea and I moved to New Mexico. We still emailed a few times, but when he is at sea, communication is very limited.

His cousin was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October 2007. I was suppose to come to their thanksgiving and/or christmas dinner but I never made it. He had been told I would be there. Come to find out Mr. Ff was disappointed when I wasn't there.

So as the new year rolled around I started planning a surprise party for Mr. FF cousin for her birthday in Febuary. So I started texting him and to my surprise he replyed back, because up until this point we were still blowing each other off.

Later that month his cousin was placed in the hospital, so I hoped on a flight and flew back to Fort Worth. Mr. FF had quit sailing and was now going to be in Firefighter academy and moving back to town. After arriving at the hospital and Mr. FF cousin fell asleep, we started talking on the phone which ending up being a 16 hour phone call. I flew home the next day and we continued to text and talk.

Up to this point we  still had not met and I was still writing him off as a player and being just friends. So as Mr. FF cousins birthday roles around and I fly into town. Mr. FF plans on driving to her house to hang out with us the night before the party.

I was putting up some of Mr. FF cousins stuff since she had just moved and was unable to move stuff herself. I recieved a text saying he was on his way. I flipped, I remember thinking "What is wrong with me, he is just my friend." So as I see him pull up into the driveway I grab a picture frame and start to hang it. It took me so long to hang this picture frame. He proceeded to walk into the house, into the kitchen and then back to where I was before I would turn around. When I did we said hello, shaked hands. I got butterflies and I knew something was special.

Later that night we cuddle on the couch and he asked very nicely if he could kiss me. It felt like the movies, butterflies and a forever feeling. We spent the weekend with friends. We were together most of the weekend.

The night of the birthday party as I was crawling into bed he came and sat down beside me and I recieved the speech that changed our lives. He said "Now look here, I don't play games and I see something special and serious with you, if you don't want this tell me now." I smiled and agreed. He crawled into the bed and held me. I woke up to his blue eyes and he brushed his hand across my face. In the back ground music was playing it was Keith Urbans Making Memories of Us. After that we went walking around outside and we talked about what we wanted. As I sat there on that porch I looked over at this amazing man and realized that he was the first person I had ever emotional connected with.

As the morning went on I had to leave to get on a plane back to New Mexico. I remember looking over at his cousin and telling her to just get in the car because if I don't I won't ever get on that plane. We said our good-byes and we drove away to the airport.

The whole way we text and as I arrived at the airport I just wanted him to say, I am coming to get you, Don't get on that plane. But he didn't, I sat in the airport thinking that I didn't belong back in New Mexico but in Texas where my heart was from now on.

Later I found out Mr. FF was sitting on the side of the road waiting for me to ask him to come get me. He said he would have in a heartbeat.

Two weeks later I moved back to Texas and moved in with his cousin. Two months later I moved in with Mr. FF. We have been together ever since.

 

                  

 

 

So Before I tell our story I must say that I bugged him about the ring for MONTHS. I would leave little hints like these because I wanted him to know I was ready.

 

                                    

 

Not only was there this hint but my call tone for when he called me was Beyonce' Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it). So I think he got the clue. But the first of Decemeber we bought the ring. So of course I was thinking for christmas in front of his family. But nope and new years came and went and then....

 

 

 

                                    

 

 

 

On January 18th 2009 we were at the beach just driving around laughing having a good time. Just being ourselves. I decided that I wanted to finally walk to the end of our Jetty. I have been meaning to seeing how this was my favorite place in Port Aransas. I love that you can walk to the end and all you see is the gulf. It is where I could get the closest to being out in the middle of the water. The water hitting the rocks and splashing is also so amazing.

 

So it is really windy but we decide to walk out there anyways. And of course it is sunset. We get out there and spend sometime at the end enjoy it. I love it and I tell him how much I love it and I love him. We decide to start walking back and he stops me and starts dancing with me. Not nothing out of our norm. We do this often at random times. He starts saying all these romantic things. It still has not clicked in my head yet.  I am not even thinking about it. After all this time waiting and the one moment I dont get it. ( Meant to be) So he says he has something to give me. But seeing how he is always messing with me, I think nothing of it and think he is going to give me a ring pop or some candy. But I look down and there is a little black box, and I cant think or talk this is the real deal. He gets down on one knee as the sun is setting and ask Will you marry me? Yet again I dont talk, I fall to my knees, quite hard and just look at him and laugh. Finally I give him a yes and I see the ring. It is the ring I picked out but he told me I wasn't getting. SNEAKY SNEAKY!! So I am not crying and I was doing so good. Until this. He told me that he prayed to God to show him a sign that this was the right moment for us. He asked God to show him a dolphin. And he said he looked over there was one, then he looked the other way and there was another one, and then to the side yet again another one. They were all around us. I lost it. I cried. I got my perfect moment with the perfect man.   We have no pictures but here is a few after pictures when we got back home and of course I look like crap and Mr. FF is being a dork!
