Many of you have asked how Nathan and I met...thought I would take a minute to sum it up for you guys.....Nathan and I met through a mutual friend...who is now my roommate. He used to call and talk to our pal for as long as I had known her and occasionally I would get on the phone and chat with him. I thought he was a complete goof-ball, but loved his sense of humor. When Mindy , the roommie, asked if I wanted to go with her to the Isaacs concert in Hawkinsville last year I agreed...reluctantly, due to a nasty cold that had me in somewhat of a funk.....would prove later to be an excellent decision. When I saw Nathan I remember leaning over to my friend Kate, who also went to the concert that night, and making a comment about how attractive I thought the drummer was!! Later the following week I sent Nate a message to let him know how much I enjoyed their music...the exact words were something along the lines of "the Isaacs rocked my face off".....yeah...wow ....surprised I ever got a response....and yeah well the rest is pretty much history. A little more than a month later we were dating and on our official "first date" at Hoofer's Gospel Barn (one of The Isaacs concerts.) Later that night on my way back home from the concert with Ms. Peggy, Nathan's mom, my mother called to inform me that my grandma had lost her battle with pancreatic cancer just moments earlier. As you would imagine I was devastated, but Ms. Peggy was so sympathetic to my situation, as she had lost her husband Byron the previous year. I traveled home to Vidalia for the funeral, broken hearted that my grandmother had passed and that Nathan was so far away in Tennessee. The morning of the funeral I looked out of the window of the church to see Nathan, in a suit hee hee....he and his mother had come to be with me and my family during that difficult time! I was shocked, and truly blessed by the fact that he had driven so far to comfort me in my time of need. So I guess you could say that our second date was a funeral and a bereavement meal....all jokes aside I consider myself truly blessed by God to know and love such a wonderful, caring, selfless man.....My grandma would be so impressed by his character and his devotion to Jesus Christ and to her grandaughter.
