We're Getting Married

I like to say it was love at first sight ~ for me at least. :) It started back during 21 Days of Prayer at our Church, and I remember seeing Sam there every morning. I pointed him out to my mom and sister, and the three of us would subtly look for him every morning. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my mom even wrote down his name in her journal and began to pray that he would ask me out, as she hadn’t seen me interested in someone in a long time. When the 21 days were over, I knew I had to make sure I’d run into Sam again. We worked out at the same gym, and I found out through mutual friends that he went early every morning at 5:00 a.m. So, on the first day after 21 Days of Prayer ended, I too started waking up early and going to the gym at 5:30, in hopes that Sam would see me and notice me. This went on for four long months because I was determined to not manipulate the situation 😉, and I just continued to pray that he would see me, notice me, and pursue me. Well, 4 months is a long time! So at the end of April, I finally walked up to him at the gym and playing dumb, asked "Do you go to Church of the Highlands?" (a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!😍) We went back and forth and continued talking a bit, and would continue to speak each time we saw each other at the gym. About two weeks later we kept bumping into each other in random places around town. Then one day Sam walked past where I worked, and I happened to see him outside the window. I called him inside and we talked, and he FINALLY asked for my number and we hung out the next night. The next week we started dating and the rest is history!
