Where it all began

It was 11 years ago when I first met my daughters future husband. I was his after school teacher at Renfrew Baptist Church in Travelers Rest, SC. My husband at that time worked with Brandon's mother Joy and his uncle Dean at a Milliken Plant in Marietta. I remember Brandon very well because he was so friendly and seemed to want to talk to me all the time. He really stood out from the rest of the kids. It's funny, he doesn't really remember me as much as I do him. I can remember the smallest details about him.

Chelsea was rather quiet then and really didn't talk to anyone much. To get her to talk to a boy was out of the question. Brandon is a couple years older than Chelsea who is now 20 yrs. old. Over the years Chelsea & I saw Brandon working in the video area of the Ingles grocery store. He had become a handsome young man and I made sure that I told Chelsea she should go talk to him. She was still shy then and hated when I would kid her about boys. So, years went by and one day while she was at her church, she saw Brandon and finally started to talk to him about how she knew him from way back when. He didn't remember her but thought it was funny when I told him all the times I tried to get her to talk to him and how I had had him in the after school program years before. It didn't take them long to start dating and to fall in love. Now this is where we start the love story.
