On 9/20/2015, at 8:33 p.m. I decided to message Armando on Facebook. What can I say? I was pretty smooth with my words, as I typed "Hey!! So I know this is so random but are you still working out at anytime in Marshall?" I knew he didn't ;) but what else was this girl supposed to say? smooth right? haha holding my breath and biting my tongue because this guy could have STILL rejected me. "Ding" my phone goes off IT'S A MESSAGE NOTIFICATION, luckily he decided to message me back ;) and then there we were, on 9/26/2015 we had our first date at Texas Roadhouse in Longview. Both nervous as can be, but you know what sold it? He went in for a hug... it was game-over then! Looking back it was definitely brownie points for the both of us, we are both huggers! Not a month later, the man of my dreams asked me to be his girlfriend on 10/24/2015, uhm DUH I will be! I would lie if I said there hasn't been discussions these past years, but one thing that we both knew and promised was COMMUNICATION, we give that to each other daily. He has taught me how to see every side in every situation, how to live life day by day, he's allowed me to love him with all the love I have to give, he's loved me more than I could ever imagine and ask for. This world has always been beautiful, but it's been the most amazing beautiful life with him by my side! On 05/01/2018 he popped the question on the cruise ship, "Will you marry me?" The scenery was unbelievable, some of our loved ones there to experience it, the fact that this man was asking ME to be HIS wife for the REST of his life... felt like I was living a dream, but in fact I was living life, my life, and we decided to spend the rest of our lives together to live what will become OUR life. These past years have been so much fun getting to know about one another & living life to the fullest. I can't wait to say I do & grow old with this man!
