How We Meet

High School

When I was a freshman in high school I didn't know anyone in my school. My school was divided into five small school and all my friends went to one of the other small schools so I had to make new friends and didn't really know anyone. One of the few people that I actually knew invited me to eat lunch with her. One day when I was eating lunch me and Gabriel made eye contact from across the court yard. The next day I was standing next to him and we began to talk. He began to walk me to my classes and even gave me his number. Before I knew it I was head over heels for him. We talked everyday of my freshman year. I went to his graduation and we ended up not talking for about a year. Then my junior year of high school he posted on my wall for my birthday and we began to talk again. He asked me to come over to his house one day after school was over. I did that and the next thing I knew he was asking to take me out to eat two days later. He came over and meet my parents and we were on the way out the door to Olive Garden. We ate at Olive Garden and then went to Starbucks for desert. We began to talk and before I knew it he was asking me to be his "girlfriend."

Engagement

Disney World, September 13, 2017

We had a trip to Disney World planned for about six months. Right around the time that we were suppose to head to Disney is when we found out that Florida was about to get hit with a major hurricane. We were scared about going but the airlines weren't canceling our flight so we still were going. Call us crazy for flying to Florida in a hurricane. We arrived safely. The first two days of our trip we were trapped in our room due to the hurricane. The first day at the park we went to Epcot. Second day we went to Magic Kingdom. He asked me to take a picture with him in front of the castle before the park opened, I didn't think anything about it. While taking this picture I went to fix my hair and the next thing I know he's next to me down on one knee asking me if I would marry him. Of course I said yes!!!
