Bamboozled

I will always say that I was bamboozled! We met playing poker. I was in a weird, in-between place in my life, and had just come off of a dating mega-spree (41 dates in 7 months.. I learned a lot about myself, and A LOT about what I didn’t want in a guy!) After a Sunday tournament, I wasn’t feeling great and needed to get up early for work, so I headed out. Eric, who I had known for 3 days, asked for my number. Before I even got home, I had a text inviting me to dinner.. But not as a date. I was a little confused, but went with it. The next day I woke up with a rocking sinus infection that put me out of commission for two days. In between doctor’s appointments and naps, Eric and I became Facebook friends and spent HOURS chatting online. We really seemed to be hitting it off, and I became very frustrated that he didn’t want to go out with me. I complained to several of my friends that I was really bummed. That Thursday, after dinner and a mini-high school reunion at my parent’s house, we agreed to grab a drink. I say that I kissed Eric first, and he says that he kissed me first, but from that point on we were falling in love... Turns out what he meant by not wanting to date me was that he didn’t want to be #42. And he wasn’t!

Sometimes you just know...

Little known fact about Team Sortor - Michelle picked out her engagement ring on our second day as an official couple. A little mexican food, a persuasive pull into a jewerly store, and a few tears as she tried on the younger sibling to her ring...what do ya know? Michelle will always say that I bamboozled her...she obviously did a pretty good job on me as well. Just less than 6 months later, Team Sortor was formed in a little baby blue wedding chapel in downtown Las Vegas.
