Our love story

On that Monday morning

So on that Monday morning, January 19 of 2009, I woke up, got showered, and dressed, and headed out to a 9:00 AM breakfast with my friend. Like usual, I was running a couple of minutes late.

Once i arrived, I parked my car and walked across the lot and into the little diner where my friend Chris was already waiting in the line to be seated. We chatted for maybe thirty seconds before the outside door of the restaurant swung open and, to my surprise, there was Mrs. D! She seemed excited to see me and exclaimed, 'Jenni! I know this might seem strange, and I know you have a boyfriend, but my son is here in town--we were just leaving, and I saw you walking up-- I'd love for you to come out and meet him!

I gave her a hug and laughed, saying "Well, actually me and my boyfriend just broke up, so its ok."

I thought i'd humor her. Many proud mamas had bragged on their sons to me before, and if or when I ever did end up meeting these "Handsome" princes, things were usually awkward and anything but a match made in heaven.
