We met at our children's schools. We would bring our kids to school, drop them off and pick them up all on the same schedule. We had two kids each going to San Dimas Elementary School and one going to San Dimas Middle School where we would bump into each other every single day. It was always so nice to see each other since we were single parents raising 3 kids alone. I would attend his kids' football games and he would come to my kids’ baseball games. We both worked full time and to this day, we still do not know how we both had time to maintain a household of 4, keep a full time job and manage to cater to our children every single day. As my kids became older, they would joke with me how Mr. Bradford likes me and I should ask him out on a date. I never had time for that and neither did he. Throughout the years, we kept a strong friendship and if one of us ever needed the other to pick up kids from school, practice or run an errand we were always right there for each other. About two years ago, Michael and I were at my son’s baseball game and something changed the both of us that day. We finally realized how strong and wonderful our friendship grew and decided to give dating a try. After two years of dating we are now engaged! We are excited about getting married and making our smaller families into a new big family of 8! |
