We exchanged phone numbers but I never thought I would hear from him. The morning of October 18th I got a text: (253)… “Good Morning. Have a fantastic day” I’m thinking someone in Tacoma thinks they are talking to somebody they know… “Thank you! But I don’t think you sent this to me. Have a great day Danelle”. We got a good laugh out of it!!

We got to know each other sharing grandchildren pix, pets, and plants. We discovered we both had 3 children, 2 previous marriages and just looking for friendship-someone to do things with. We laughed and got to know each other.

Ty got brave and asked me out on date. We got lost finding the restaurant he wanted to take me to but ended up at a great place and we talked forever. Waiting patiently for him to ask for a first kiss 💋 seemed agonizing but I survived. LOL

Two weeks after our first date I needed to take my son Henry some items in Rexburg 4.5 hours away, I knew where my head was so I knew he needed to meet my boys and soon. I asked Ty and Brook to go with-he said yes! Two days later (probably in jest) he asked me to be Mrs. Jones!

Thanksgiving with my family in Meridian showing my mom and grandma he was a perfect gentleman then a trip to Tacoma to see his family for New Years hopefully showing the Jones’ I would love and care for Ty as good as he does me.
