The Very Beginning - You've Got Mail

I was struggling today trying to decide what I wanted to blog about, then I found our emails. I love that we had to email. I have 1,441 emails. I cannot wait to share them with everyone, well at least the ones I can share **wink wink**

Reading this has been hilarious and emotional because we were so damn cheesy. I love his personality and it is so easy to see how I fell in love the first time I saw him, on the first day we spoke to each other. I can almost sense that feeling.

Subject: Hey You

Me: So, how’s work going?

Jerry: Busy… busy going to take me a little to get caught up…

Me: I don’t want to be a distraction lol

Jerry: No your not at all I will only email you when I have a sec to do so but as soon as I get caught up I will be able to email you more… I have a few questions… what do you do for a living or were do you work… do you live in somerset?

Me: I work for Baptist Health Corbin but the office I work for is in Somerset and I also live in Somerset.

Jerry: I normally work 5 days a week 8 hours a day… off on the weekend with the occasional double for extra money… I have finally got caught up thank goodness… so how do you know me…lol…

Me: I don’t know you. I just knew who you were when you text me because I don’t have friends in Laurel County, so it had to be you. LOL

Jerry: If you act right you might have a friend in laurel co now lol

Me: Maybe we could have dinner sometime if you want to.

Jerry: Dinner sounds good what do you like… I can eat anything… seriously… not too many foods I can’t eat lol… I was in the military for almost 17 years and deployed to various garbage dumps with the military. About 2 years ago I got medically retired for my knees… they are just wore out to much running and jumping… I am not crippled I can still walk but I try not to run and jump anymore unless I have to lol

Me: Well, I can eat anything too. I have food allergies, but I can find something to eat at just about any restaurant. I don’t mean to sound pushy so if you decide you don’t want to go, I completely understand.

Me: If we are still hanging out this summer we should go to the lake. It’s always fun with kids.

Jerry: Sure that sounds great would love to… I am always up for an adventure or going to a new place. Have you been to Norris Lake? I like to take my kids there and rent a lake house on a weekend or week and chill out on the water with my kids. So you have 3 kids? Whats there ages… for me I have Morgan my oldest she is 19 and out on her own… then there is Macy she just turned 18 a few days ago still has one year of high school… then my youngest Moira is 15 she will turn 16 in September… lord it goes by so quick then my son which is my mini me seriously he could almost be my twin lol… he is 13 he turns 14 this April he is going to be a big kid he is a 7th grader right now and lifts weights with the School football team he also plays football and is very good I like to brag on him cause he is my son but even without my bias lol... he is really good he made the all state Football team Last Year… Its not his talent that makes him good but his lack of fear I haven't seen a kid his age hit like he does… but he is very soft hearted and does not like to hurt people but loves to hit… he is crazy… Oh yes I was going to ask if you like to go 4 wheeling or anything of that nature I love it… You can find me in the woods just about every week end on my side by side riding… Thats my stress reducer…

Me: I have two football players and a cheerleader. Kollin 11 (today), Hannah 7, and Captain America/Isaac 5. I always had a four-wheeler growing up but it isn’t something I have enjoyed in a long time. I like that you have something to do to take your mind off work!

Jerry: you have been taking my mind off work today :-) happy birthday to your son.

Me: Lord, I haven’t gotten anything done today. I keep refreshing my email LOL

Jerry: are you one of them crazy girls

Me: No way. I just enjoying talking to you.

Jerry: Ok, I just divorced a crazy one and my kids would kill me if I brought another one home.

Me: Well, I can’t say I blame them lol

Jerry: so lets have dinner tonight

Me: Jerry, we don’t know each other. I am bringing a friend and I will find someone to watch my kids. Are you serious?

Jerry: my girls can babysit

Me: Jerry, none of us know each other. You are crazy!! LOL!! But seriously I will see if I can work it out.

Jerry: you don’t need to bring a friend I am a federal officer for the BOP and I will make sure nothing happens to you.

Me: Spoken like a true serial killer… Text me when you get off work. I don’t know about you. We haven’t even been talking for 24 hours.

Jerry: dinner is no big deal and we both don’t want anything serious so it is just like meeting as friends and I am busy the next several weekends so I don’t know when I will have time to hang out.

Me: Oh, who is pushy now. Since we are just friends it won’t be a big deal to wait. You sweatin’ me already LMAO

Jerry: I dont sweat women at all and I was just gonna fill up some free time… text me when you can go.

Me: Ok, I will text you or maybe I could call you since we have never actually spoken to each other. I just feel like we are missing some steps in this ‘friendship’ or something.

Jerry: maybe we don’t talk until we have dinner… then it might be more fun

Me: Geez, just text me when you leave work. I swear I am bringing a friend to meet you, serial killer.

Jerry: text you later… bye
