All about Jerry by Carolyn

Jerry:
Jerry works for a company in Dallas called Commerce Street Capital where he is the staff accountant. He has been working there for a little over a year. Every morning Jerry gets to ride a train to work, which I think is pretty cool. Jerry enjoys watching sports of any kind, reading about sports, and playing sports. Some might say Jerry is a little obsessed. He has mainly lived in Texas his entire life except for when he lived in Washington and Virginia for a few years. Throughout his life he has had four dogs: Laddy (a mini Lassy dog), Daisy (a poodle that he wasn't the biggest fan of), Lucy (our first child), and Rowdy (the newest addition to our family.) Jerry graduated from Arlington High School and Texas Tech University with a finance and accounting degree. Jerry loves James Bond, Scrubs, ESPN, chips and salsa, Texas country, Dave Matthew's Band, Ocean's 11/12, playing golf, going over to Rustin and Kody's, horse racing, Lucy, Rowdy, and of course me. Jerry decided to propose to me on January 2nd. He took me to my favorite restaurant and favorite pet store. When we got home he tied the ring to Lucy's collar and proposed. It was the perfect proposal. Jerry is hilarious and is always making me smile. I cannot wait to marry my best friend. I love him more than anything.

A very busy time

Jerry and I are in a very busy time in our lives. We are starting to plan our wedding, which is next summer on July 11. I cannot wait! We have decided to get married in at a place called Victory Art's Center. This building used to be a convent and boarding school for young women and has recentely been renovated into apartments. I love that we are getting married at a place that is a part of history.

Jerry and I also are about to purchase our first house! We found a house in North Arlington that is everything we were looking for and more. It was the very first house we looked at and we counldn't help but compare every single house back to that one. I cannot wait to begin decorating! We close on August 22 and move in August 29.

About 2 weeks ago, Jerry and I were in a terrible accident that we were truly lucky to walk away from. I still cannot believe we made it out with only bumps and bruises. This accident has really made me realize how fast your life can change. I really don't know what I would have done if something happened to Jerry. I am cannot stress how grateful and fortunate we are. As of right now, I am driving a rental car, avoiding highways, and waiting on insurance.

Rowdy Hank Peterson is the newest addition to the Peterson family. About a month ago I finally convinced Jerry to get a yellow Lab. He is precious and Lucy and him are best friends. He does keep me busy, but I don't mind one bit!

This is such an amazing time for Jerry and I and I am so grateful that we have such great families and friends. We have great parents that are so supportive of our dreams and hopes for the future and have continually cheered throughout the years. Our friends mean everything to us and we cannot wait to "grow up" with them.
