Austin and I started dating in 2014 after meeting at work. We started out as friends, but one day someone referred to him as my husband at work. I still dont know where they got the idea from aside from the fact that we were both part of a group of friends that ate lunch together in the same place, and I was taken by surprise, but that was the first time I looked at him and saw more than just a friend. If you ask him when he first saw me as more than a friend, he will tell you it involved a pair of jeans he liked me in! 😂 We flirted back and forth for awhile, until one day he surprised us both by kissing me (he swears I kissed Him, but I promise it was all him!). It was the most amazing first kiss either of us have ever experienced, and I knew then that this was something different from anything else. We began dating and knew very quickly that we loved eachother. I was too scared to say it at first, so he told me I didn’t have to say it because he already knew I loved him, and he was definitely right. 😍 When we met eachother’s kids, everything seemed to fall into place very quickly. Hailey, who was such a mommy’s girl at that time and rarely let anyone else come near her took to Austin immediately from the moment she met him, and another piece just fit. It wasn’t long before we found out we were expecting our little Elayna, and she was the perfect final piece to tie our little big family together. Here we are, five years after we started, and not only has our love for eachother and our family grown, but so has the friendship that it started out as. We hit our bumps in the road (as all couples do), but I can honestly say we are eachother’s very best friends. We can’t wait to start this next chapter together as husband and wife! ❤️
