Jeff and I met while we
were attending the University of Kansas (home of the Kansas
Jayhawks) in 1989. We both worked at the local frozen yogurt shop
[TCBY]. I had been working there for about 3 months before Jeff walked in the door, filled out an application, and accepted a job as the "Yogurt Dispenser King!" Little did we know that would be the day to mark history! I was initially attracted to his stunning blue eyes and then discovered, that beauty is far greater than what is on the surface--he had much to offer besides his looks!!!
Jeff is
orginally from Omaha, NE. He graduated from the University of
Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He is a
Manager with Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group in Kansas
City, MO. He plays the drums in a band called "Tin Roof
Echo." He travels quite a bit so his weekends usually
consist of home maintenance projects!
Shelly is
originally from Junction City, KS. I graduated from Kansas State
University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I am a
Marketing Representative for IntelliMark. I have recently participated as a coach for special olympics in a variety of activities, now I am the Wedding Coordinator!
Jeff
surprised me with a trip to Disneyworld in Orlando, FL May 30,
1997! He flew in from Athens, GA where he had been on assignment
and I flew in from Kansas City. My plane was originally cancelled
so I caught a later flight which (finally) brought me into
Orlando at 5:00pm. We had a great time Friday night having dinner
at Tia's Mexican Restaurant and then off to bed for our big day
at Disneyworld on Saturday. I had never been to Florida so Jeff
was going out of his way to make this trip extra nice and special! After a
long day at Disneyworld, around 6pm, Jeff pulled me into a
quaint, beautiful garden area, got down on one knee and asked me
to marry him....I was totally surprised! Of course I accepted,
that is why we are here today! I had learned that Jeff was
looking for a romantic moment to propose, but weather and
amusement rides did not allow that to happen! When we got back to
the hotel room, there were a dozen red roses waiting for me and dinner was on the way.
