Continuation.....


So here we are again. We left off with me telling you how Andrew and I met. After I heard him sing that time over the phone and decided that I was going to marry him, I figured it was about time that we meet. Dad called me and invited me to their debut singing at Lakewood Baptist Church in Phenix City. So, I went.
Andrew was running late for the concert so I didn't see him until The Advocates were announced to go to the stage. WOW! He was all I expected and more!!! After the concert was over I introduced myself by saying "Hi. I'm Dwayne's favorite daughter, Amy." He laughed, my goal, and then we started talking a bit. We went out to eat with the group afterwards at Applebees and I asked 20 questions at least just trying to get to know him. (he says now that he felt like it was an interrogation!) That night, we swapped numbers. I was not raised being allowed to call boys, so I drove back to Atlanta and did not call him. Surprisingly, he did not call me either.......................until 2 WEEKS had gone by!!! (I was heartbroken in the very beginning! LOL)
Well, when he finally did call me, I acted like I didn't even care that he had not called. He had just gotten home from a baseball game that he was coaching (Babe Ruth) and proceeded to tell me why it took him so long to call. EXCUSES, EXCUSES! Ha! Ha! From that night on, we talked and talked and talked every single night for hours on end. I tried to make frequent visits to Columbus becuase it was painfully obvious that he had absolutely no interest in going to Atlanta.

I saw your post on my blog about being pregnant...I cannot believe that! I WOULD try to call you, if I had your phone number! You and Andrew aren't in the phone book. Matt and I are, though, if you'd like to call me sometime.

I was talking to your mom and Tim one Sunday at church recently, and I told them to tell you to call me. They laughed and said, "We leave messages for her all the time, and she hardly ever calls anybody back! It's almost impossible to get in touch with her!" That sounds really hopeful, doesn't it? But, if you have a spare minute or two, I'd love to talk to you. So call me. It's in the phone book under Barnes, Matt & Liza. :)
 
Ok - I decided to take you up on the calling you thing. (Don't believe all you hear. LOL) Mom and Tim pick on me quite a bit about the calling thing. It's seriously nothing more than the fact that we just stay so busy and by the time I could call someone back, it's late at night and I'm afraid they may be in bed. But, occassionally I get some down time - very occassionally. Anyway, I thought I may catch you at home but I just left a message on your answering machine.
Ok, well don't believe the pregnant thing just yet either. I lost the baby when I was at my 8 week mark. That was probably one of the hardest things that I have ever gone through physically and emotionally - but, slowly but surely.....one day at a time.....I'm making it! Andrew and I were SO excited when we found out about the baby and then so devastated when we miscarried. But, it will happen again. Call me when you get my message! Talk to you soon!!!
