Yes!!

We met in grade school back in 1997. We were in 7th grade together, Mr. Sprout's class to be exact. Alex secretly had a crush on Valarie that school year and well, Valarie was oblivious and wouldn't know what impact she had on him until almost 15 years later. By that time, he had 2 beautiful daughters, ages 4 (Izabella) and 6 (Zoe) and she too had a gorgeous daughter who just turned 5 (Mersadies), the day after they "re-met". If you ask him, he'll say Val stalked him on Facebook just to find him and reconnect. If you ask her, he stalked her on MySpace all those years before FB even existed (he admitted looking for her over the years disappointedly with no luck). She'll also tell you that back in 2011, she was looking through an old yearbook. She wondered to herself how everyone from 7th grade was doing. “Oh, Alex Rojas,” she thought to herself while looking at his class picture, “Yeah, I remember him.” FB friend request sent! She then sent him a quick message. He immediately replied. We met up within a week or two at the park with our daughters where they played together. Val was still oblivious of him still crushing on her after all these years but just over a month after reconnecting, we went on our first date. March 19, 2011. A date that is near and dear to her heart and an anniversary date they have celebrated each year since. Now, this was all well over 7 years ago. Time sure has flown by and our family has grown by leaps and bounds since. We’ve added our own crazy, amazingly smart, funny, full of energy, little mini us to the family, who you all know as Xander. After he joined us, we have felt like our family is complete. Yes it has taken us over 7 years to finally tie the knot but hey, we are far from your ordinary couple! When many couples are going through the “7 year itch” at this time, we are more connected and in love now and are continuing to grow for and with each other. We are so excited and can’t wait to make our union “OFFICIAL”!
