And here's "Our Story" (as told by Keith):

We first met through work in 2001. We always got along great and we both considered ourselves friends. Not the kind of friends where we met and did things away from work, but more just like someone you know at work who you just "click" with. From the first time I met her, I liked her. I never gave too much thought of asking her on a date or anything because of our work relationship... I just kinda "wrote-off" the idea.

She left the company in 2002 and ended up moving back home to Germany for a while. We didn't keep in touch with each other, mainly because like I said, we weren't really close friends who communicated outside of work. We shared a common friend, Tony, who would talk to me on the phone and he kept in touch with Kris. I would ask Tony from time-to-time how Kris was doing and he would fill me in. Only after Kris and I got together in 2003 did Tony tell the both of us that while Kris was in Germany, I would ask him about her and she would ask him about me but he never said anything to either of us about it. It seems Kris and I cared about each other, yet neither one of us really knew it. That is just too cute :)

Kris returned to the company in 2003. We have communication devices in the trucks where the drivers can send messages (like email) to the office and vice-versa. One night she was heading into Fort Worth and sent a message asking if she could bring me anything, like a soda, etc... which was so sweet. We started sending messages back and forth and I dropped my first "hint". From that moment forward, we both started sharing how we really felt about each other and it escalated from there.

Since that night, I can't get enough of her... and the feeling is mutual. We both stumbled upon a love that is so powerful and pure, like nothing before it ever was. We kept talking about a grand night where we would go out for a nice dinner, but because she was traveling so much and I was working we could just not get the timing together. We both knew this was so real... there was no questioning it. If there is such a thing as a "sure thing", this was it.

We both experienced a total loss of sanity, and while she was still out on the road, I went and leased a two bedroom townhouse and moved out of my one bedroom apartment. We were cosigners on a lease and lived together before we even went out on our first official date! Neither one of us would've ever imagined doing something so crazy... but it turns out we were right. Here we are a year later, getting married and still madly in love. In fact, my love for Kris keeps growing every day.
