Our dads worked together and our families went to church together before we were born. Our parents were in the same young married class at First Assembly of Memphis. Our families would get together often and hang out. My last memory was at the McGee's present house. They were finishing it up. My dad was helping Trebe outside, my mom was inside with Sherry, and all the kids were outside playing King of the Hill. Not long after that my family moved to California. The Pope's and McGee's lost touch for about 20 years or more.
In this picture is my mom, Grace(my sister), Charles (in the stroller), and me (pushing the stroller)
Fast forward about 20 years....One day I was looking through a friend of mine's friend list on facebook and saw the McGee's as her friends. I requested them as friends. Charles and I started messaging and emailing through facebook. I told him I was having internet problems. He said he could look at it, and I told him he could come over and we could catch up. I had no idea in June what God had in store (although, if you ask Charles, he would say he knew). He did come over and at the end of the evening asked if we could see each other again and get to know each other more. Of course I said, I would like that. The rest, as they say is history. He proposed October 2nd at Botanical Gardens :)
