Jessica and I both attended the University of LaCrosse. I was drawn to her clever sense of humor, beautiful smile, and fun-loving personality. Her house quickly became the place I spent a lot of my time. Early on, however, my time there was not spent as a boyfriend. In fact, after many months of pre-games, parties, and game nights at the girl's house, I came to the realization that I had dug myself into the dreaded friend-zone. So, through some deep, booze-fueled chats with Jess' roommates I confessed my feelings for her and wanted to make a move. On that fateful night almost 7 years ago, i apparently had enough beers to give me the courage to finally lean in and give Jessica a kiss goodnight. We continued hanging out often and eventually I asked Jessica to be my girlfriend and we have not looked back since. It has been almost 7 years of laughs, smiles, and fun and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for us in marriage.
