Turn Back Tuesday

I have teamed up with a fellow friend/blogger to start something called “Turn Back Tuesday”, it is going to be an ongoing thing where on every Tuesday we post about something from our past that has impacted our lives now. I am planning on making this a link up post, so anyone can join in! We would love to get multiple bloggers doing this with us J

 If you can’t make a commitment every week, that’s ok to…, join us biweekly or monthly!

Today is the first day of “Turn Back Tuesday” so, thanks in advance for being patient with us because it is a learning experience!!

Turn Back Tuesday- How you met your husband/ fiancé / significant other?

Early April 2005:

                I was a senior in high school and nearing the end of my spring break. I had gone to Nashville with my best friend for the week and right before we left I started talking to an old boyfriend and we were going to try again…well I came home to find out we weren’t on the same page apparently.  Long story short it wasn’t ever going to work out. The Sunday of spring break, I met my friend Kim at the barn for an early morning ride. Before I go further, let’s say this…I climbed out of bed, threw on the closest jeans, tank top, and baseball hat and left…

Ok, we have our ride and as we are headed back in, Kim gets a phone call.

The conversation went something like this:

                Kim: I am riding with Brittany, what are you doing?

                Travis: hanging out with Cam, Brittany who?

                Kim: My boyfriend’s sister… why?

Travis: O ok...I am not sure what was else was said, but we got on the subject of riding, and teaching the boys to ride.

             Me (Yelling from my horse in front of Kim): I will teach him to ride! (Apparently you don’t say this to an 18 year old male)

                Travis: We will be right there!

So about 15 minutes later, they show up… at first glance I thought Travis was cute, but I didn’t really think anything of him because I was still hoping things would work out with my x- boyfriend.  We flirted back and forth and all hung out for a few minutes.

April 20^th 2005:

I was texting Kim while at school, she told me that Travis was bothering her for my number and she didn’t know what to tell him. I was over trying to fix things with my x so I said what the heck just give it to him. She did and then she gave me his also because he told her to have me call him. Well against all my “rules” I texted him first and we planned on hanging out that afternoon. Immediately I called my best friend, Sarah to make sure she could come with me! We met up after school and met Travis with some of his friends at an ice cream place. Upon getting out of the car I was greeted by a boy in Camo pants and a hooters t-shirt...Sarah looked at me and said “I thought you said he was cute”. I had to tell her when I met him he was wearing a polo and jeans.

Before Sarah and I left my house to meet up with Travis and his friends, I almost bailed on hanging out with him because I was so shy. Little did I know that that he would be my husband one day!

Travis says that when he heard me say in the background on the phone…I will teach him to ride… he just had to meet me. He said I sounded like so much fun, but I was serious about teaching him to ride. I still haven’t been able to, maybe one day!
