COMMENTS ABOUT EUREKA SPRINGS TREEHOUSES:
We just want to say just a BIG THANK YOU MANDY & GARY.... The place was just PHENOMENAL in every way. It felt so complete to Jason and I, just like the two of us feel for each other. This is a wonderful beautiful thing in our books. Thank you for taking the time and having fun with the picture taking that was special in every way...
FUNNY DATING STORY?
Well, there hasn’t been a lot of funny dating stories, but a lot of fun times. Jason and I enjoy riding our Harley bikes, lots of country riding, Bikes Blues & Barbecue. We have great plans in the future of riding places we have never been and enjoying the rest of lives together doing whatever we decide.
HOW HE PROPOSED: We already knew the date of the wedding, everything was planned, but Jason had to make it official. LOL
On 6-11-15 Jason wanted to take me to this restaurant in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, called Frank and Lola’s (best ribs and steaks in town, yummy). Let me just say, that was on a Thursday. I was told we were going ring shopping that following Saturday. So, needless to say I was very SURPRISED that he already had the ring and was proposing that evening in the restaurant. WOW….
HOW DID WE MEET:
This is a very neat story, almost unheard. On August 30, 2013, my oldest son and I were on craigslist looking for a vehicle. I was texting several people that Friday evening about what they had for sale. My mechanic told me things to ask so that no one knew I was a lady asking these questions….LOL. Jason just happened to have a vehicle on there for sale. I was asking him questions and his cell phone was going dead. I then called his house phone, not 2 seconds in the conversation he accidently hung up on me. I told my son, well, I guess that wasn’t meant to be. Jason called right back and we talked about the 4 runner he had for sale. I told him I could call him back the next day and talk about the 4 runner. I thought he had a family, but he said no. I called him at 10:00PM, the next thing you know we talked about our lives and everything we could image to talk about we didn’t get off the phone until 7:30 AM the next morning. We slept maybe 4 hours and we were texting again. He called and we discussed a time we could come look and see if my son liked the 4 runner. Jason didn’t want to sell it to me, he just wanted to meet and greet. I told him I called about a business deal and I needed to take care of that first, I would consider the meet and greet another time. The neat part of our story was that neither of us were looking for another person, but we feel like GOD put us together. There has never been a time that we didn’t talk every day. He lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma I lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. We couldn’t see each other every day so it was mainly phone communication. We learned a lot about each other, what we wanted, stood for just everything. So that old saying is so very true, it will come when you least expect to...GOD works in mysterious ways. Look 2 years later 8-9-2015 we said I DO.
Thank you again Mandy! You were just awesome!
Jason & April Lopes
