IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!

I remember the day I first saw him, I was a sophomore and he was a junior walking his freshman girlfriend to Theater. I remember thinking isn't that the sweetest thing. I was jealous of my friend for how caring her very attractive boyfriend was. I remember standing outside the theater building doors for the next few weeks just to get a glimpse of there cuteness. fast forward 5 years and guess who adds me on facebook?!?! You guessed it Macen. I added him on a whim, didn't think we'd ever talk or interact after that but I knew who he was so what the hell right. Then a few weeks later I had posted about wanting to get out of the house and he responded inviting me to come hang with him and his roommate while they fixed their car. I was great friends with his roommate back when we were in high school so I figured it be a safe bet that I wouldn't be kidnapped if I took a chance and had this guy I barely knew pick me up. there was a moment that night, while we were outside, the boys were stumped on how to fix the car issue. I remember him taking a long drag on his cigarette, his brows furrowed in a pondering stance, and in that moment I knew, I'd do anything to be with this man. After that day I never left his side. Even when he was in a relationship with another woman I was there for him and vis versa. we be came best friends, shared many secrets, had epic fights, and never passed up an opportunity for a late night Dennys night. When his relationship was over, he was in an emotional state and one day when he dropped me back off at home. he sat me on the trunk of the car and told me, " I'm not ready yet, I need time for me to heal from this. But when I am, I'm coming for you, all of you. I want nobody else. And once I do, I'm never going anywhere else." I cried and we shared the most amazing, beautiful, passionate kiss. Even tho he wasn't ready he was mine, in my heart he had always been mine. and from there it was just a waiting game. and here we are 9 years later about to tie the knot on our 10year anniversary of that first night out working on the car. I'm so excited to get to share my life with him and celebrate our love with all of you.

I had moved back to AZ, getting my life together. I had bought a failed project car and decided to give my best shot at making a really cheap car run, as it was highly modded. My best friend, who I was living with at the time, and I were looking to have people come over. I made a post about having people over when I happened to gaze upon something I was not expecting. I never knew that I was looking at my newest obsession and life moving forward. She was absolutely gorgeous. Curly wet shoulder-length hair, a cheeky smile, bright yellow shirt and the most beautiful wide eyes I had seen. I had to shoot my shot. I reached out to her, asked if she wanted to hang out. She was a mutual friend to my friend and me from high school, though, he was much closer to her than I was. I figured she would at least feel safe because of him. To my unexpected surprise, she accepted! I had a small panic attack because, at the time, I was mimicking roadkill and was dirty from the car. Not caring too much, I headed out to go pick her up. When she got in my car, she had her signature fragrance of body spray that I would grow to love and crave. She was bubbly and was all smiles. It was a very enjoyable car ride home. When she became reacquainted with our friend, I tried to be quite and listen to learn anything I could about her. After getting drunk off her laugh and fragrance, I knew then and there that I loved her. However, I wasn't the most confident of people then. I was going through issues with self-confidence and self-worth after a rough end to my prior long term relationship. Little does she know, this is when I made what she calls my 'signature look'. I was genuinely trying to figure out a way to successfully win her over. After a few rounds of jokes, self embarrassment and conversations, I was able to steal her breath away right from under her nose. It was then at that moment I realized, I wasn't picking her up to hang out. I was bringing her home.
