I HAVE FOUND THE ONE WHOM MY SOUL LOVES

We met in Mrs. Courtney's first grade class at Crossroads Christian School. After a year of school together, both of our families relocated schools and we lost touch. Beginning middle school orientation, a boy walks into the gymnasium wearing the tightest skinny jeans I had ever seen. I couldn't figure out why this boy looked so familiar, till I rummaged through old year books and found Lucas Casas, who in his first grade handwriting wrote "I rilly lik you". From the moment we reconnected, we were inseparable. He was my middle school sweetheart, high school sweetheart, college sweetheart, and now my soon to be husband.

On the evening of our 5th anniversary, Lucas took me to Crystal Cove, our favorite beach growing up. He made me blindly walk down the beach as I covered my eyes and proposed to me at sunset.
