Flashback Friday

So looking at this picture you think--lame! But there is so much more behind it. Brent took this picture of me on our first date with his phone. I know, weird!

Brent and I met on a blind date set up by my wonderful aunt Vicki. I had just moved home from college and Vicki ran into the Carters, so she gave Brent my phone number and told him, or should I say made him call me. I think my aunt was nervous I would be mad so she decided to test the waters by getting my mom to tell me that my aunt wanted to give this boy my number. Well when my mom told me this, I was like "No! I don't want to go on a date." You see I had a missionary and was simply not interested. So later that day my mom kinda changed her tune a little and said "well Markelle I think your aunt Vicki already gave him your number." I just thought, whatever! Seriously like an hour later the phone rang and it was Brent. We actually hit it off well and talked for an hour. We had made plans to go to dinner and a movie--that way if Brent didn't like me we wouldn't have to talk because we would be watching a movie. Yeah he really said that, it was funny though.

It was sooo weird going on a blind date, and of course guess who shows up at my house about the same time Brent is supposed to pick me up? yup my aunt Vic! Anyway we ate at Chili's and this is where the infamous picture was taken. Brent goes "lets just get a pic to send to my brothers" as he holds up his phone. I was seriously weirded out and about to protest but he already had the camera up so I smiled. This was my first experience witnessing the closeness of the Carter boys! Brent couldn't even go on a date without sharing it with his bros. Little did I know I was going to have to win over the hearts of the whole fam not just Brent.(To be honest though that wasn't what I was trying to to. Remember? I had a missionary-- I was focused.)

Well you all know the rest and trust me my aunt Vicki relishes in the fact that she set us up...she is our little matchmaker:)
