We got to know each other my freshman year of high school. We were in Personal Record Keeping together and anyone who knows John will understand that he didn't really enjoy doing homework. In fact, he really enjoyed bothering me while I was doing my homework! I used to get so annoyed with him but he was too sweet for me to stay mad. We started dating on April Fools Day of my Junior year. He thinks he is funny by telling me each year that he will tell me whether or not he was serious! Our dates and hang outs never got old. We would go bowling, Frisbee Golfing, or just hung out and watched movies. Sometimes I wonder if my family loves him more than me (I actually don't wonder - they have told me multiple times)! In all honesty, I wouldn't want it any other way. John has always been great with my nephews and is always willing to spend time with my family. I am so grateful for the amazing man he is and the way he treats me with respect. Not only will I be gaining an amazing husband but an incredible family. The Hegland's are an all around wonderful and I have considered them my family for the last 6 years! We have been through a lot in the years we have been together and have supported each other in many things. I can't wait to spend forever with the man of my dreams! :)
