Boots, Bourbon, & Bonfire

"Third Time's A Charm"
Our Story
If our first 3 hour date at Red Robin wasn't a sign, the hours strolling The Paddock* and our half day marathon date that started at Baskin Robbins and ended with multiple refills of Diet Coke and unsweet tea at Mickey D's helped us realize very early on that "We both knew where this was going."
Were we ready for a new relationship? Probably not.
Were our instincts correct?
Definitely.
So, here we are, 26 Red Robin dates later, 2 years happier, having survived (and enjoyed) months of quarantine, ready to continue the journey that has already brought us so much joy.
We've been here before, made mistakes, stood back up after we stumbled, learned what we want and need from a marriage, and know we are ready to take this final leap, eyes wide open.
As they say,
"Third Time's A Charm."
*Disclaimer: it was Christmas in July at the Hallmark Store, we couldn't help ourselves.
Blame it all on our roots
Hey, show up in boots
This ain’t no black-tie affair
You’re not the last one to know
Don’t be the last one to show
We were the last ones you thought you'd see here
But it’s no surprise
No fear in our eyes
So join for a toast of champagne
We’ll toast you, too,
‘Cuz, honey, we ain’t through,
And you all helped us get here
'Cause we’ve been down in low places
Where the bourbon drowned
And our friends helped chase
Our blues away
Now we’re okay
Yeah, we’re not big on social graces,
We’ve got burgers & beer,
covered all our bases
‘Cause we’ve been down in low places
We know we’re not wrong
We’ve waited so long
Then, we’ve been here before
Now everything’s right
Let’s have a great night and
kick up our boots on the floor.
Heck, yeah, we mean
To cause a big scene
Spend a few hours and then
We’ll be so high
From the love and the power
That your friendship brings
'Cause we’ve been down in low places
Where the bourbon drowned
And our friends helped chase
Our blues away
Now we’re (more than) okay…
