The one of us at the stop sign has a couple of stories behind it! Several months ago when LeeLee agreed to do our pictures she told me to start getting ideas of where I would like to have them taken. The first thing that came to mind was mine and Micheal's stop sign. In May of 2006, right after I graduated high school Micheal and I made plans to go to Lubbock for a date so he could give me my graduation present. We were on our way out of town but the weather was really yucky and there were some severe storm warnings so we decided we better not chance it. I was disappointed but I was still excited for him to give me my gift. When we turned around and got back into town Micheal had to run by his parent's house for something while I waited in the car. Once he got back in he pulled away and I started begging him to give me my present. The suspense was killing me and I wanted it right then and there. So Micheal put the car in park at the first stop sign we came to and that is where he gave me my promise ring. I remember being so excited and nervous when he handed it to me! I couldn't even see it because it was at night time and it was dark in my car. I had to turn on the light to get a good look at it! So needless to say that stop sign is very special to Micheal and I and I was so glad we were able to get a good picture of us there!
Also while we were taking pictures at the stop sign a cop pulled up to ask us what we were doing! Ha ha! We did look pretty crazy! There were 3 vehicles all parked on the curb and all of us (Me, Micheal, Mom, De, LeeLee, and Damon) were out in the middle of the road taking pictures. Micheal told him that we were taking pictures and the cop said, "Oh...at the stop sign????" It was so funny! Micheal was like "Its sentimental!" ha ha! He was like Ok and drove away! Everytime I look at that picture I will remember that crazy story!
I am so very grateful to have such amazing friends and family that would be willing to spend a hot, windy Saturday morning running around town with me taking pictures! I am so blessed!
