The Beginning

Hello All! I am beginning this blog (thanks to the fabulous Pre-K team!) to write about our wedding and life afterwards, hence the title “Our LifeLONG Journey.”

I guess the best place to start is how TJ and I met. We met at Casey Jones in La Plata in December 2008. To make a long story short, Brenda (TJ’s sister) introduced us and we got engaged on Thanksgiving 2009. When some of my friends became engaged, I asked them how did they know their fiance’s were “The One.” They always responded that when you know, you just know….. That’s how it happened for me…. It didn’t take me long to realize that TJ was “The One” for me!

We started planning immediately! Since I’m a Speech Pathologist within the school system, we decided on a summer wedding. We looked all over Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore and couldn’t seem to find the venue. My parents and I were walking around National Harbor and came across “The Sunset Room.” The official date was set: July 17, 2010. Below are some pictures of the venue.
