 | ~ Our story begins back in 1999 when Tiffany was just a teenager and I was looking for a desk clerk to hire. I actually asked Cindy (Tiffanys Mom) if Shelbi (her sister) needed a job, was disappointed to find that she was too young. "But", Cindy said, "her sister, Tiffany needs a job". Little did Tiffany know that she already got the job before the interview was over. So for 3 years I was the boss of Tiffany. Who would have thought, years later, those roles would be reversed. Lol!
~ Yes, Curtis did give me my first job when i was 19. But, don't let him fool you... He doesn't remember much of anything from that particular time period including the interview. For example; like when he would call me at work just to chat, or trying to get me off work early to help him pick out a tie, or riding with him to the mall to buy a pair of shoe horns, etc, etc. But the best memory of all that he doesn't remember, is when he invited me to his house late one night for popcorn and a movie. Yep... You got it folks, He doesn't remember any of that. But that's ok, because I have plenty of memories for the both of us, and I remind him of that all the time. Lol! But it wasn't always fun and games for Curtis and I... Lets just say we didn't always see eye to eye. He once threatened to fire me if I didn't stop wearing different color socks... That was real cute! (He doesn't remember that either)
~ Ok..Ok, that maybe true I don't remember as much as she does but I do remember after not seeing her, but for a handful of times, after about 8 years it was I who on September 20th, 2011 stopped by her work to say "hi!"
I recall that she couldn't stop laughing the entire time I was there. Yep, after all that time I had her giggling like a little school girl, so I'm pretty sure I aced that visit.
I also remember thinking that I wanted to see that beautiful smile again!
So, We did what every couple does in this day and age...we texted and facebooked a while until she got up the nerve to finally answer the phone when I called. If I'm not mistaken she asked me out on our first date, I had the pleasure of escorting her to her companies Christmas party. I believe it took a couple months till I started to win her over :)
~ AND WIN ME OVER HE DID! |
