It was freshman year at Gilbert High School, more specifically, 7th period English class. Who knew that a harmless crush would plant the seed to forever. The first memory I have of Mike was thinking, omg! this is my first high school crush! Why do I like him so much? He was so arrogant, flirty, and annoying all at the same time! In Mike's eye's, I was so smiley, and sweet, which made me fun to mess with! As our time in high school went on, We shared more classes and more memories. One in particular was our first kiss! However, It was an innocent first kiss as after, we remained friends. As more time went on, we began to grow apart, pursuing different paths in life, going through life's struggles and trials which would only mold us into two people meant to be together in the future. Over the years Mike would send me friendly Happy Birthday messages which always made me smile. 5 years later, it’s October 2016. I ran into a mutual friend while having a night out with the girls. During the time we were catching up, Aaron mentioned that I should come out to a little bar in Gilbert called Skip and Jan's to see some old friends, Mike Herrera being one of them. Over the course of that next week Michael and I spoke and I told Him I would see him that Thursday at Skip and Jan's! I was actually so nervous getting ready to go, it was like having high school crush butterflies all over again! When We first saw each other, even after all these years, it was like no time had passed and sparks flew! What started as a memorable night of laughs and karaoke turned into what will be a lifelong love. From that point on, as hard as we tried to remain just friends, there was no denying the connection that was there. Mike then so chivalrously asked My mother for my hand in a relationship. November 11th, 2016 he made it official and you know what they say, the rest is history!
