How I Met My Husband!

My husband and I both ride motorcycles, that is how our paths crossed, well besides the red string, of course :)
One day, Steve saw me at a charity motorcycle event, from across the patio, and asked someone who I was. He did not talk to me, just sent me a friend request on Facebook. lol
I did not accept his friend request because I had no idea who he was. A couple of months went by and I did a photoshoot for a charity biker babes calendar. Steve was actually at the photoshoot that day but arrived after I had left, but he was tagged in some of the post from the event. I was tagged in the posts as well, and saw his friend request again. Thinking we had met at the photoshoot, I accepted his friend request.
He messaged me a couple of times over the next week, specifically about the photoshoot, so I thought nothing of it. Then one day, he asked me if I wanted to go for a motorcycle ride, me riding my own bike. I said, Yes, I take every chance I get to ride with friends. It was not a date, just an evening ride like a lot of us often do. Plus being that I thought we had already met, no worries!
So we planned to meet at my house after I got off work. I went home, got ready and Steve texted me that he was close, so I gave him the exact address. He pulled up to my house at 5pm on October 18th, 2017!! I walked out the door, down the steps to my bike. We hugged, like old friends, and that is when he told me we had never met in person before!
I was amazed because it felt like we had known each other for many years, everything just flowed and we had a great night, some other friends joined us a little later. We rode back to Loveland, where we both live, I went my way and he went his way. The next morning everyone started asking me a zillion question about the guy I was with the night before. I assured everyone we were just friends and had just met, there was nothing more going on. I was convinced of it myself as well.
Until that first text, Steve texted me to make sure I made it home safe and sound from the previous night. I sent him a picture back, the texts were constant throughout the whole day and so were the butterflies!

We have been inseparable since that day. He asked me to marry him while we were in Mexico in February 2018. We were married on September 16th, 2018. He is the love of my life, we are twin flames and are attached by a red string (look it up if you don't know).
When I saw Under Lucky Stars, there was no way I could pass it up. I gave it to Steve on Christmas day and we both love it sooo much!!
