I was raised in Arlington, Texas. I graduated from DeVry University with a degree in Electronic & Computer Engineering. I am an active member of The Arlington Masonic Lodge #438. I enjoy spending time at the lodge, playing video games and working on computers.

My family is an important part of my life. My mother has been there for me from day one and I am thankful for that. I am an only child in my family. My grandmother Betty is a huge part of both mine and Cecilia's lives. We both love her dearly. She has helped and supported us in more ways than one and are truly blessed to have her in our lives. My extended family is also a large group and all mean allot to me, as well as my friends.

*** My heroes are my grandfather, the late James Alvin Fox and my father, the late James Marshall Fox. We both Love and Miss you both very much!! ***

Let's go back to Thursday May 17, 2007. Jason and I spent almost all day getting ready for our trip to South Padre Island. My best friend's little brother was tying the knot on the beach there. After getting all of our things together, Jason and I decided to head to Granbury and stay the night to save a little time on our drive since we would be heading to SPI on 281. We got to bed about 11:00pm. The alarm came pretty quick at 4:30am! We got out the door about 5:00am. We spent most of the drive talking and laughing, which was great. A few stops and about 8.5 hours later we were on South Padre Island. As soon as we got in we went up to Jen & Jer's room and tried to get an idea of what we would be doing that night. The rehearsal was not until 9:00 pm so we decided to take a short nap and then walk around and check the shops out for a bit. Dinner was set for 7:30 at Dorado's. Then it was off to the rehearsal and then we headed back to the room to have some drinks and get ready for the big day.

Saturday, May 19, 2007. We woke up pretty early and decided to go check out parts of the island we had not seen. Then it was off to breakfast and back to more shopping and touring. The wedding went off great and Tony was a married man! After the ceremony they had a small dinner/reception at The Sheraton Hotel. The food was great and the couple looked even more in love than before. All weekend I kept thinking "I can't believe Tony Canales got married before I did!!". He's like a little brother so it seemed funny that he was married before me. After eating, Jen and I went and made the honeymoon room a little cozy and ready for the bride and groom. We headed back down to the lobby where everyone was waiting. A few people were leaving so we said our good byes. All the while I had no idea what was about to happen. As we are walking out to get on "The Bus", (the 15 passenger van the Canales' rented to drive) I hear everyone start talking about how they want to go walk the beach. Still no idea what would come of it. Jen grabbed her cam corder and Jer his camera. All I'm thinking is we are gonna go walk and take some video and pictures. If you know me well, then you know that is something I just love to do....take pictures! So we head to the beach directly behind The Sheraton. As we are walking towards the ocean, everyone stops in their tracks. I see Jen is fooling with her camera talking about how she can't get the light to work. Jer is talking about how beautiful the beach is.Jason in the meantime, is holding my left hand twiddling with my promise ring(which I wear on my ring finger). I didn't think anything of it, because its something he always does when we hold hands. All of a sudden I feel my ring come off and I ask Jason "Why are you taking my ring off?". "I'm not!" he says. "Um, yes you are!" I say. About this time I hear Jackson say "Oh no, He just dropped it!". So, immediately I look down to see if I can locate it as does everyone else, or so they pretended to be. That's when I see Jason drop to one knee and say "Will you marry me?". "Are you serious?" I ask. "Yes, Will you marry me?" he says again. By this time I am so choked up and starting to cry. "YES!!!!!" I say in a shaky voice. He immediately puts my ring on and gets up to hug and kiss me. Clapping and Cheers are heard all around. Jason and I hug and kiss and hug and kiss. Soon, everyone joined in the congratulatory hugs and the rest is history!

I could not have imagined a more perfect proposal. There was no fancy stuff, no foo foo stuff, no corny poems or sayings, just him being himself and saying exactly what he wanted.

A special Thanks to Jen, Jer, Rob, Gloria, Jackson and Clay for being there to support Jason, and making sure we had this moment for the rest of our lives. I love the pictures! The video is hard to see and pretty much all you hear is waves, but its the thought of them doing that, that counts. Thanks guys!
