A couple of pictures of times I can remember when I wasn't scared out of my mind about being responsible for another person's life.How Jason and I met:
Jason and I met about 6 years ago in Austin, Texas. I was waiting tables with his best friend Jordan and Jordan's now Wife, Melissa. We were working at Bennigan's and having nothing but good times when I casually met Jason. It also seems to be meant to be because my great friend Nicole and I ended up moving into the building right across the parking lot from Jason and Jordan. That fateful apartment was called the Cunningham and we could literally look into each other's balconies...but we never did.... ;). We saw each other a handful of times over the years but life took us in opposite directions until Jordan and Melissa's wedding night. Jason had too much whiskey, beer, shots or all of the above and was offering to give me a bid on work I needed done on my pathetic excuse for a vehicle. I offered up my phone number and Nicole and I left to pursue a crazy night in downtown Austin. About a week later as I was walking from a class to my car and I got a phone call and it was Jason, he had an ridiculous amount that he wanted to charge me to have my brakes done and I felt it should have been done for free...Jason was no sucker! I liked that! Casually about 2-3 weeks later St. Patty's day was before us and after feeling really low that day, Nicole convinced me to go out and make a good night of it. I decided to call Jason to see if he was going to be there and he casually told me yes, he would make an appearance. After a fun whirlwind of a night, Jason finally asked me to go out to dinner with him and I sweetly told him to sure and to call me. Well, after 2 weeks of texting and inviting, we finally set a date to meet. Jason and I met for Dinner/movie/drinks at the Alamo Drafthouse to watch Stay Alive (now, you know why I always pick the movies) on April 1st, 2006. The night was amazing, we drank Dos Equis Amber....lots of it and laughed until the weeee hours in the morning. We had our first kiss as I dropped him off at his truck and I smiled the whole way home. I had never had a first date like that and I had no idea that would be my last first date.
6 months later Jason and I moved in together. We lived in my tiny 400 and something square foot apartment and we had a blast. We were needing more space, as you can imagine, so that's when we moved to the duplex. Oh, the duplex, so many memories of fun times!! We got Ali, our love child, at the end of January before we moved into the duplex. So, we had Kiaya and Ali and they were loving all the new space. Ali had her big backyard and Kiaya and plently of places to sneak off and pee. It was great....
We moved into our very own home October 16th, 2009 and were engaged on September 19th, 2009. It was a dream come true and during the whole process we found out that God had blessed us with a baby. They say things happen in 3's and it was true for us. We were so excited but nervous and had no idea that all of this would happen so quickly! One day we were out looking at houses and the next we were pregnant, engaged, and homeowners.
So, here we are 25 and about to have a baby....hopefully I can keep up with this so you can keep up with us! Baby Brayden will be here soon and we can't wait to share everything with you.
Love,
The Mueller's
