We’re doing a thing!!

Mat and I met in high school, the two main classes we had where art and a sort of study hall. We don’t remember the exact moment we met each other but it was like we had known each other for a long time, he jest kinda appeared next to me and it felt so normal, he jest belonged in my life so Naturally we both became pretty good friends. We started to hang out a lot in art class and his favorite story to tell is how he was drawing a squid, and he was having some difficulty with the teticule so I had grabbed it wanting to help and not to long had finished it for him. I guess I had jest gotten a bit carried away lol

After our class had graduated in 2010 most everyone had drifted apart over the next two years. I don’t actually know why but one day I was on Facebook and had seen my friend Travis ‘s and mats picture and thought to myself I hadn’t seen them in forever and I miss them so I had decided to text them to see if they wanted to hang out like the good old days. Now I had always had a crush on mat in high school and when we all hung out I remember those feelings again and it turned out he had felt the same way so we decided to go on our first date!

So after our first date we hung out more together every chance we could after he got off work and got to know even more details like fav movies, books and such, it wasn’t long before my family got used to seeing him around. It was September 2 2012 we where both sitting on my porch swing my Family had in the front yard. It was dark out and he had just gotten off work I asked him if he would be my boyfriend and he said yes! I grabbed his arm pulled him into my house to come see my mom, she had been in front of the computer at the time and I said “mom I asked him to be my boyfriend he said yes!” and my mom just looked at him and then looked at me cracked a half smile and said “OK that’s great” and I pull him back outside. of course he says that that night does not count because he had asked me to be his girlfriend before that night so to him we have probably been dating longer even though he swears our actual anniversary is November 2

Over the years I had started to stay at his house more more even had gotten a job eventually he got a job in the same place and then our friend Travis followed. I started to accompany him to a place called The yugioh outlet which had become one of our frequent hang out spots/2nd job we had started to make new friends everywhere and now there is a bunch of people who don’t really know what me and Mat were like without each other and I really love it there and I really love all of our new friends and eventually we moved out and now have our own place together (with our roommates/friends) we had gone through extreme losses and we have gone through many ups and downs jest like any relationship and he is a part of me that I can’t see my life without.

he had just gotten off work, and he called me and said I really want to take you to Disneyland you’ve never been there, it’s been such a long time since I’ve gone, I think it would be really fun for us. We can even stop at Harry Potter world!” I was so excited he then asked when did I want to go and all I could think of was I love Halloween! he said OK will let’s start saving. before long he had planned it all, we had some help from our friend Travis and all three of us went to California and it was one of the absolute best vacations I have never been on and it was only the first day, then finally on our last day we went to go see Harry Potter world and I almost cried when I saw it. Mat and Travis want to go see the rest of the park So we did but there came a point where mat wanted us to do a group picture in front of Hogwarts which I was totally for. but they were about to close off that section so we were rushing and he just seem like he really wanted this picture and I thought it was a little strange but I was excited so we all Took

a group picture and then Mat says we should have one with just me and bronte and I said OK yeah and I posed like we did at Disneyland, I look over at him and he’s holding up a ring at me and I cover my mouth, it would as like everything around us was gone, just me and him and I just stared at his hand, then I heard him say are you gonna take it?” That had snapped me back to what was going on so I took it and put it on, everyone clapped. I just remember feeling my face get warm and I’m starting to cry and I hate when people see me cry so instead of giving him a kiss like I wanted to I got embarrassed and shove my face into his stomach. it was only after that I had found out that quite a few people were in on the secret so there were all these people just waiting on Facebook for us to post pictures or videos lol but after that I felt so happy, exhausted, hungry and kind of cold it was breezy but to this day I’m still trying to process all of
