His Story

I started subbing at Texas School for the Deaf after a stint in Hawaii in the Spring of 2007. I noticed Erin right away and thought she was cute and interesting. Before we officially met, I worked with her ex and fished for more information. When asking other people about my chances with Erin, the typical responses were, "impossible"....."never"......"no way!" I was determined to prove them wrong.

Her Story

OUR STORY

I caught a glimpse of Shayne in the hallway at school one day and thought, "What is that ex-con doing working at a school?" Kidding...I was busily wrapping things up before the end of the school year and didn't really think much of him.

One day I was assigned to sub in Erin's class room I was excited to get to know her more. She was struggling with the display size on her laptop, so I jumped at the opportunity to impress her with my computer skills.

He came in and totally effed up my laptop! He was super cocky and then pulled up his photography website to show my students. (not all were school appropriate pictures)

I was trying to impress her with my skills...and I fast forwarded through any photos with boobs and/or booze!

I was super annoyed and when school ended a couple of weeks later, I didn't really give Shayne much thought (sorry, babycakes!)

A mutual friend casually mentioned the possibility that Erin might host her birthday party at her house in the summer. I foolishly waited all summer for an invitation that never came.

Seriously?! I didn't even have your phone number and that party never even happened.

Fast forward to the first day of school, and I got full time job in one of Erin's best friend's classrooms. GAME ON!

I almost didn't recognize Shayne that first day. He ditched the serial killer hair cut and I could finally see how handsome he is!

The rest of the details are a bit hazy. After a few parties and happy hours and my continued persistence, I finally won her heart!

If you had told me that one day I would be marrying the ex-con looking dude who cockily effed up my laptop, I would have said you are nuts. But looking back, I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else!

ditto!

....and the ex-con hair!

SEE! looks more like a mugshot than a work ID!
