Eddie and I first met years ago, our senior year of high school to be exact. We both worked at the mall and happened to work across from each other. He worked at Cinnabon and I worked at Perfumania. As luck would have it, we ended up having a class together and somehow it sparked our interest for each other some more and we ended up dating for a little bit. (I wasn't allowed to date so it wasn't really much dating lol). But as it happens many times in high school, we ended up breaking up and going our separate ways. In reality it was more of a "pause" in our story while God prepared us to meet again. We never could have imagined that 16 years later we would be in each other's lives again. Eddie friend requested me on Facebook and it took about two weeks for us to start messaging each other. During a trip he took to New York, we planned our very first date upon his return. Although I kept telling myself that it was not a date, I couldn't have been more nervous! When we first saw each other again, I'm pretty certain we were equally as nervous! Pretty sure his hands were shaking as he handed me a gift he brought from New York. I had joked that I loved snow and to bring me some snow but since you can't travel with snow, he did the next best thing and brought me a snowy New York in a snow globe. After our first date, we knew how right this all felt and a week later he asked me to be his girlfriend. God knew that this time our lives were ready for each other and it has been quite the adventure and blessing ever since. On May 25th 2019, Eddie proposed and it couldn't have been more perfect! Funny enough days prior, I had been upset about not having a ring yet. Little did I know that there was a plan already in place. And now here we are, God answered our prayers, reunited our lives after 16 years and now we get to plan our forever together. ❤️
