It's going down!

A long time ago at Westside High School, I (Amanda) was a freshman and Abel was a junior. We hit it off immediately. He was my best friend. We hung out together, ate lunch in the band hall together with our other friends, and lots of other things. It took us about 2 years to figure out we were meant to be something more than just best friends, even though he still is my BFF. We began dating on and off during the summer/early fall of 2009. Abel had just graduated from Westside and I was starting junior year. We broke up for a little while before realizing that being apart just wasn't going to work out for us. Abel left to go visit family in Mexico that Christmas, but when he came back, we decided to really try to make it work in January of 2010. Since then, it's been a whirlwind, but I couldn't be happier to FINALLY say yes to marrying my best friend!
