Darren and I met on Christmas night in 2006 at a small bar and pool hall. Darren was in from out of town visiting family and friends and I was there at the insistence of my best friend. It was fate that we were both hanging out with the same group of friends that night. I was a newcomer to the group but Darren had grown up with them. I was immediately drawn to Darren, partly due to the Eagles jersey he was wearing and partly due to his charming blue eyes and glowing smile. We chatted and flirted off and on all night and agreed to meet up the next night to talk some more. The chemistry was amazing but sadly, Darren had to return home to Pittsburgh the morning after our second meeting. The distance didn't stop us and we talked over the phone every day. We took turns visiting each other for long weekends for a year before I moved to Pittsburgh to pursue our relationship. The rest is history! We continue to grow closer each and every day! Now it's time to take the next step. . .getting married!
