Alex and I first met our 9th grade year when our mutual friend, Miranda, had invited us to hangout in Downtown Rockford, MI. We met up in Belmont off of the White Pine Trail. Alex and his friend both showed up on their BMX bikes and their DC shoes. ;) I had met his friend before, but never knew of Alex. We were both shy and exchanged "a quick hello and our names". I don't remember the rest of the details from that day on, but I know we soon became friends. Miranda and I would hangout almost every day after school, and most of that time consisted of us chatting on AIM with her Northview friends. Alex and I would chat from time to time, and one night Alex and I decided to be each others " HUSBAND AND WIFE" and he told me that one day, when we were 20 years old, he was going to propose to me on a mountain in COLORADO. I saved that conversation. I ended up moving to Caledonia my sophomore year and made new friends, memories, started dating someone, and lost touch with most of my old friends, including Alex. Then in 2011, my parents separated for a while. My mom found her old laptop and I found all of my old photos, memories, everything, and I stumbled on Alex and I's convo. I thought it was hilarious and I had to send it to him. So I did, and we started catching up! We became friends again, talked on and off for a few months, caught feelings and in December 2011, we started dating. Now here we are, engaged and raising our son, Jaxon, 5 years later!
