Finally, we know!

Michael and I met in Sunday school at church. We had our little group with a few others, but we were always together. My family started going to that church when I was about eight and he's not much older, but was a grade a head of me. We did VBS and all the youth activities together. I think there was a brief moment in middle school we even dated. We both remember going to the movies with his mom and brother chaperoning, of course, for our 'date'. Middle school dating changed every week so I think we broke up a short time later. In high school we did a lot of the church stuff together, but didn't really see each other at school. His sophomore year he 'lived at our house' and we were both going to the same school. We both graduated the same year, as I finished a year early and then lost touch for a few years. When I moved back home from college, one Sunday at church I saw him and we reconnected as if no time had passed. Something in me knew instantly, but wasn't sure, and I waited nine long months of constant talking and hanging out before we were together. That was August of 2011 and we have been together ever since. We bought a house together, got another dog together, and have supported each other no matter what comes our way. July 1st 2018 Michael asked me to marry him and all I could think to say was "OF COURSE!" We couldn't imagine a life with out each other and can't wait to see the rest of our story unfolds.
