During the time that the kids were getting to know each other and beginning their relationship,they determined to go to museums and parks and try to go to as many as they could in a year. They were quite creative in their dating. I seem to remember one particular time, they decided to rent a scooter in Down Town Dallas and Donato would drive while holding onto Erika. She has that daring spirit in her that wants to do things! He obliged...
All I know is, a couple of weeks later, I was told of the "incident", where they hit a bump and she slipped through his arms and then.... he stopped, tried to get to her to help her and accidently stepped on her chest. LOL
There is a song we wrote about that. ......HAHA
His description of taking her into a local CVS to buy bandages and going into the bathroom to bandage her up was hilarious. He said, "It looked like a murder scene." Haha
The DR. however (Love that Dr. at Scottish Rite Hospital) , said, "It looks like you've been having fun!" Ha. She was fine; just a bit of road rash.
These two grew together as a sweet couple that would come over and play spades with us, go to his family and visit, and just be adorable!
Donato's mom and I decided to "meet" stealthfully....
We had such a great time. We met for breakfast and talked and talked and talked, and then we sorta got kicked out of Denny's, which BTW was NOT crowded at all!
HOW do you get kicked out of Denny's????
Anyhoo. We took that photo and sent it to the kids, who btw kept telling us, "You two are really going to like each other!" ... We got this in return.
So we sent this in return!
We had a great time! And then our families began to blend together and here we are 5 years later with the kids married 4 plus years and all of us loving them and each other!
They are perfect for each other. They are both adventurous; you will find that out for sure if you follow their
You Tube Channel... I'm so proud of them.
(Donato's brother is the photo bomber) Haha.
