Mike and Angela met in July 1999 in a club in Clovis, NM.  Angela was at the bar with her best friend Brad.  She was upset because no one would dance with her because everyone thought her and Brad were together.  So, she made a deal with Brad;  if he asked someone he didn't know to dance, then she would do the same.  Finally, four songs later, Brad got the nerve to ask a girl to dance.  So, Angela had to do the same, she looked around the bar for the right guy.  She noticed Mike looking at her.  So, she went up to him and asked him to dance.  He said, "Of course I will sweetie."  They danced and talked and soon realized they liked each other.  Mike had noticed Angela when she first walked in with Brad.  He assumed that her and Brad were together.  While they were dancing she told him Brad and her were just friends.  He was understanding because he has female friends.  When Brad and Angela were ready to leave, Mike stopped Angela and asked her if he gave her his number, would she call.  She said she would, so he wrote his home number on the back of a business card.  The next day, Angela was anxious to call Mike.  She told her friend Pam about it, and Pam encouraged her to wait so she didn't seem too desperate.  Mike was anxiously awaiting Angela's call.  The next day, Angela couldn't wait any longer and called Mike.  She was nervous and not sure if he would even remember her.  He sounded very happy to hear from her.  They spent the next few nights talking on the phone for hours.  Finally, they had their first date.  They went to see the South Park Movie, then they went back to Angela's apartment and watched a "Beavis and Butthead" marathon.  They realized that they both liked the same twisted humor and began to fall in love that night.  They have been falling more and more in love ever since.  Mike proposed to Angela on Christmas Eve 1999.  He proposed in her bedroom at her father's house in Albuquerque.  She immediately said yes and ran to tell family and friends. They married in March of 2001 and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to start their new life together. Angela and Mike welcomed their first child, Jeremy Michael, into the world on September 30, 2004. Though he was six weeks premature, he is a healthy and happy baby, and his parents couldn't be happier!
