Hi Paula,
People have told Jeff that for years. I think it makes him feel good ;) He really is a cross between Richard Gere & Paul. So sweet of you to read our story.. Hugs!
Hi Kathy,
There is actually 5 boys and 1 girl in the family, and all are about a year and a half apart. Jeff was the middle boy, and no, he went to San Diego State University. He was just there recording his brother’s jumping for the coaches! Hugs
Lea, You are so sweet! I had to break it into parts so I didn’t put anyone to sleep.. Lol. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.. have a great day :)
Two comments… love how blue-eyed sis ended up with brown-eyed Doug… and brown-eyed you ended up with blue-eyed Jeff. You mentioned you were in college… was Jeff also?
Second, when I first started following you, I honestly thought you two were newly weds… either later in life married… or second marriages. I can’t wait to read the rest of the story, Kristy!
Hi Jaime!
Too funny.. Jeff and I both have blue eyes actually but all the pics I chose you can’t really see them. Lol at 80s cameras. Jeff is a couple years older than me, but because he paid his way through college, we graduated at the same time. He went to San Diego State University. If I were being honest, I still feel like a newlywed with Jeff. He is such a generous and kind person who is always so supportive. We have been through so many different things together, I can’t imagine not having him by my side. Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting.
Hi Becky,
Cameras stunk back then. And also, no one used to take selfies! Because Jeff & I were often off doing things together without others, we never thought to take pictures of ourselves. So many missed moments.. oh well, making up for it now!
I am one of those that requested this story. I am so happy you posted the beginning of your love story. I can’t wait to hear part 2. Jeff is truly a gem, but so are you. I will be anxiously awaiting the continuation. Betsy and Doug…… enquiring minds want to know.
Hi Kristi – I also love love love romance, destiny and a very beautiful love story, with that truly enjoyed chapter 1. You and your family are so kind, loving and so sweet you share what you love with all of us…as I always say you inspire me. Loved the pictures (Jeff does look like paulN and has resemblance of RichardG!! ?
?Mena ??
You guys are delightful together. I have been divorced for along time, raising my kids alone , two of three are now in college……so no dating…You guys give me hope!! Thanks for sharing!
So I loved it! Because you are answering what I always wondered, how did they meet. And a cross between Paul and Richard is exactly what he is. And you, you are a Barbie doll. Trying to be patient for part two and three! And I love his cooking segments!
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait to read the rest of the story!! Y’all are SOOOO cute! On a side note, my sister and I married brothers! Our kids are double cousins. Sadly, one of us got divorced but we all still get along and the story makes a great conversation. LOL!!
This is such a wonderful story. Everything happens for a reason and timing is so important. I love following you on Instagram. You and Jeff are so sweet together. Emma is gorgeous and I think she looks just like your sister.
Enjoy your hols.
I just got caught up with this story…and how ironic!!! My sister and I are also married to brothers… In my defense, I found the first brother and she met his brother right before we got married. LOL!!! Isn’t it fun to catch peoples reaction when you are all 4 out together and people ask whose related… their faces are always priceless! Thank you for the story and the pictures. So much fun!!! Takes me back…
Omg, Kristy! Love this… I felt like I was reading one of my favorite romance novels from my teenage years, lol. Can’t wait to read/hear the rest. I’m just catching up from the weekend. You two are such a cute couple and I enjoy watching your chemistry on ig. Thank you for sharing your story!.
That was an amazing story! Truly meant to be together. So nice to see a beautiful couple. Love your Instagram so much. You are both such an inspiration. ?
Oh my goodness Kristy – this is just too too exciting – and HOW much does Jeff look like Paul Newman in that first photograph – Woo Hoo!!! xxx
