THE ENGAGMENT - November 11, 2006
By: Tauna Coombs
The day started when my sister, Melissa took me shopping for clothes. She told me it was so I could have something nice to wear to take some sister pictures. I agreed since Kent told me that he was going to help a friend out with a project. We got already and headed to our parents house to get some spending money. We had lunch and went shopping. Once I tried on many cloths and shoes we went back to our parent's house to show off the new outfits. I picked an outfit to wear for the pictures and Melissa put makeup on me. Then we went to our place to do the pictures. When we got there our roommate, Lisa, told us she found a puppy and was asking what we should do with it, just so I would go outside. There I found not a puppy but an all-dressed-up Kent sitting at a candle-lit table waiting for me. He got up, pulled out my chair and went back to his seat. He told me how much he loved me, that he is lucky to have me in his life, and that I am very special person. He then got up came to me and knelt down on one knee and asked the question
WILL YOU MARRY ME? The feeling I had was overwhelming. Of course I said YES to someone that I love dearly. I did have a few spies that were hoping I would say yes. The night continued with dinner from Applebee's that was served by another sister, Jessica. The night was wonderful. The back porch was decorated very nice and elegant: with white Christmas lights hanging on the ceiling, rose petals on the ground, the table covered in a white tablecloth with two candles burning and a vase of pretty red roses. Later on I found out that he was preparing all day for that night. The plan was almost blown when he was watching TV at my parent's house when we stopped by the first time. My family said that was the first time they have seen him run that fast.

How we met - May 2006
By: Tauna Coombs
The first time we met was at a hospital visiting a friend, Tiffany Stephen. At the time I was a roommate with Tiffany and Kent was dating a friend of hers. They knew each other through their parents. While at the hospital, I noticed him looking at me a lot. It wasn't until Kent left; I felt my heart drop thinking I wouldnt see him again. Life went on for both of us. A few weeks later Tiffany heard that Kent and his girlfriend had broken up and happened to see him at the airport. She invited him over to go swimming and told him she had someone she wanted him to meet. I was excited to see him again. A few weeks later, we meet again. The night was a lot of fun. The first part of the night he was trying to impress a friend of mine, thinking it was me, but he was not interested in her. Once I got to the pool, he was glad it was me he was supposed to meet. The rest of the night we just had fun swimming and getting to know each other better. Phone numbers were exchanged. We set up a date to get frozen yogurt but he cancelled and we decided to go our separate ways. The following weekend, my mom, sister and I went out to see a friend and her family. Her husband asked if we had any prospects. I let him know the story about Kent. He encouraged me to call him back. The next Tuesday I was at a Diamond Backs Baseball game with some friends, when Tiffany got a text from Kent asking about me. Well, that was my chance to text him back. We set up another date to get frozen yogurt. After a couple of days getting know each other, we decided to give each other a chance to see where our relationship goes. Five months later we knew we were going to be together.

This is my first posting to this blog, not sure what to write or do. I am sure once I start doing it I will get the hang of it. I will try to keep this updated as life keeps going forward.
