We meet at the sparks marina for our first casual date. As I watched him walking up to me I said to myself what if he is the one. I knew by the end of that date that I would marry him some day. Fast forward a little more then a year when we reconnected and started dating again. I was afraid to let myself fall in love with him because I have been hurt so badly in the past. It didnt take long before I had lost all control and fell head over hills in love with him. Fast forward a little more then a year again and we moved in togeter and blended out 2 families. This has been rough from time to time but we somehow all managed to survive. After 3.5 years of dating and 5 years of knowing each other he finally decided it was time to upgrade our status. We are happily engaged.
