Trevor and I first met face-to-face on July 26, 1997. I had 2 tickets for a Reba/Brooks & Dunn concert. Lori, a friend at the time, was supposed to go with me (she was doing this as a favor to me since none of my friends like country music). Well, she ended up cancelling less than 2 weeks before the show, and I was stuck...not to mention that I found this out when I was in MI on vacation so that left me less time to find someone to go.

After I got back home, I was talking to Trevor on the phone and telling him what happened. I could tell he really wanted to go to the concert...he kind of hinted around and then finally just said, "Fine, if you don't want me to go, I won't!" Well, that was it and we started to make plans for him to come down. He lives in MI, 5½ hours away, so he was going to drive down the day of the concert and go home the following day. He even said he expected to stay in a hotel because we had never met and didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable (which my parents were, but I understood!). What a guy!

After all I had been through, I expected him to cancel, right up until the day of the concert. Well, he got a late start but he still made it down here. I was so excited I was bouncing around the house and acting like a total nut (just hoping Trevor wouldn't be frightened off and turn right around!). The night went great...we had a blast at the concert (once it got started...the building was struck by lightning so the show started ½ hour late). Trevor even bought us both t-shirts at the concert! I finally found someone who loves country music as much as I do...probably more!

We were having such a great time that he decided to stay an extra night, which we were both very happy about. We just spent the time getting to know each other...watching tv, talking a lot, and laughing even more! I have never had anyone make me laugh as hard and feel as good as Trevor does. We have been together ever since!!!
