In the beginning

I figure since this is a blog about our family then the story of how our family came to be is appropriate. Lorenzo and I met while working at Buca di Beppo. He was a dishwasher and I was a server. I never really noticed him until he started to hollar things at me in Spanish. I told him he better leave me alone! Well once he was promoted to pizza/appetizer cook and I became the salad cook we began to talk more often. We then started to go out to Friday's with many people from work. Eventually this all led to the two of us hanging out and becoming a couple sometime in October of 2007. On June 17th 2008, I heard beeping extremely loudly outside of my apartment building. I got up to see what all the commotion was about and it was Lorenzo outside. I asked him why he didn't call me and he said his phone was broken. Meanwhile he had his earpiece in. He came upstairs and was acting very strange. I just went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I was doing this, Lorenzo came in behind me. He reached around me and grabbed my hand. He then put a ring on my finger, looked at me, and just said "Will you?" I screamed yes, dropping my toothbrush and spraying toothpaste everywhere, and gave him a big hug. It turned out he had his earpiece in the entire time because his mom was listening in! I immediately called my mom to tell her the news. We spent the rest of our day chatting about when we would get married and what it would be like. We set the date for Sept 5th, 2009.
