We met in grade school at Lake Castle in New Orleans.  We rode bikes to school together where Ray used to drive me crazy, as young boys are known to do. I guess some things never change :)      Just before high school, my family whisked me away to California, without my consent I should add.  I always knew I would move back to New Orleans and I did so shortly after Chase went off to college. It's been a long and sometimes bumpy road, but I am back where I belong!   Who knew that I would end up finding happiness with that red headed pain in the butt from grade school!?!?!? 

Who knew  that riding bikes to school together in 5th grade would lead to THIS? 

And for those of you that say that Facebook is harmless fun, look what happens...

Both of us are a bit stubborn, and to date have been "unlucky in love" but the moral of the story is 

PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF
