Our story started at Fern Creek High school during anatomy class. We sat next to each other, chatted, laughed, and helped each other with classwork. This classroom relationship eventually lead to texting. One night, Codie texted Carmen that he wanted to ask her out. Needless to say, it was a nerve-wracking, sleepless night for Carmen as she anxiously waited. In the morning, Codie walked up to Carmen before class.... she responded by yelling "YES!!!" and attempting to walk away as fast as she could. Codie called after her, with a smirk, and informed her that he was just going to tell her that she looked nice. There was never a more embarrassed, red-face person in all of history. Thus, our adventure began. We have been through almost ten years together: college, basic training, many jobs, finding an apartment, adopting animals; All of this with twists, turns, ups and downs. Codie decided to purpose in November at a Friendsgiving party that we were hosting. During a game of quiplash, Codie typed in the response "Carmen, will you?" and got down on one knee. Again, Carmen embarrassed herself by covering her face and yelling "NOOOOOOO!" and then promptly said yes. Now we are looking forward to spending many more years laughing and embarrassing ourselves together.
