The Birthday Party + Porch Parties = LOVE
The first time I saw Jesse was across the room at MJQ. He was wearing the same Birthday Party t shirt that I owned. I remember thinking who's the kid wearing MY Birthday Party shirt! Annoyed, I walked over to him, shoved him and asked him where he got the shirt. Probably not the best way to meet your future husband.
Fast forward a few years. Once again I find myself at good old MJQ and once again I spot Jesse across the room. He was laughing and all I remember thinking was that boy has the most beautiful, contagious smile I have ever seen. Thats when knew I wanted to know him. Little did I know that I lived 2 houses down from his best pal, Bryan. A few days later Bryan invites me over to sit on his porch and have a beer with some of his friends. Among Bryan's group of friends is Jesse. We are officially introduced. For the next few weeks I would go hang out on Bryan's porch in hopes of spending time with Jesse. Finally by the 4th or 5th of these porch gatherings I decide to take a HUGE step. I held Jesse's hand!!!! The rest is history.
