Our story happened before our 10 year relationship. It all started when our parents became friends when we were about 4 years old. We were always together. Even though Most of the time i thought he was having an allergic reaction or that he was mute. He would play any game i asked him to play. He would answer with a nod and bright red face. One day he surprised me while we were playing hide and seek. He always had to hide with me; I was a chicken hiding by myself. We sat there in the closet waiting quietly. It was so quiet i could hear the footsteps in the house. Thats when Dustin started talking. YES. TALKING! DURING HIDE & SEEK!!! (Side Note: Hide & Seek was my all time favorite game growing up. I took it VERY SERIOUS LOL) Anyways, I remember this word for word because I really wanted to close his mouth but it was too dark to see his mouth. Im really glad i didnt because its one of the sweetest memories & we absolutely cherish it. Dustin grabbed my hand and whispered he was going to marry me some day. I said what and started grinning. He said when we are big im going to marry you and kissed me. Thats when we were found. Danny, everyone knows dustins father, yelled through the house that we were kissing in the cabinet. Oh i was so mad. I started yelling that i didnt kiss him... Dustin and i continued to be friends but everyone somehow knew we kissed and would always sing the kissing song... 14 years after our first kiss we found each other again. We always knew we were meant to be, but God knew we needed a Harlie in this world. Harlie made us a family right when we were back in each others lives. God also knew we wouldn't be complete without a little Sass and gave us Shay.

Our proposal happened on Christmas day after our babies unwrapped all their presents. The ring was inside a box that was inside of another box full of Big Christmas bells, Christmas ornaments, workout shirt (YES A WORKOUT SHIRT) and tinsel. Dustin managed to have my camera recording to capture the entire thing.
