When me an Justin first met we were 7 an 9! He was new to my karate school on Main Street In Taylorsville. When he walked in our eye’s met and there were sparks! ✨ we saw each-other every day in karate an it made us get to know each-other! One day we were working on our kicks and me only being 7 and being super short he accidentally kicked me in the side of my head 😂 I fell of course but he helped me up an out instructor was gonna make him do 150 push-ups but I said it was okay an got him out of it! 😂 let’s just say he was a lucky man that day! 2008-2012

After year I finally got the nerve to tell him I like him and we started dating on October 14, 2013. 💜 we met almost every day at the public library in Taylorsville Kentucky. When Christmas time road around-he invited me to come to his family’s Christmas in Mount Eden Kentucky. I was sick at the time but couldn’t bear to disappoint him so I came anyway. That night was one of the most special night of my life and when I will never forget it Justin had bought me a beautiful silver necklace with a heart and a tan teddy bear that I still have after four years. Sadly after Christmas that year on New Year’s Eve Justin and I had to split way’s, not gonna lie I cried like a baby for two or three months but eventually pulled myself-together aand knew that-everything happens ffor a reason-and if we were truly meant to be then it will be! Sadly shortly after I had a run in with some of his family an ended up with an epo out on me an couldn’t speak or be near Justin for 2 years.... Oct 14, 2013 - Jan 1, 2014

I remember walking in the big double doors leading to the cafeteria feeling scared and nervous because I knew he would be there and I was afraid of what he might say....As I walked in to the crowded cafeteria I could see him just out of the corner of my eye and there he was staring back at me with those gorgeous blue eyes I kept walking I could feel him still looking at me, when I came out of the cafeteria line he was standing by the water and asked me how my first day of freshman year was going so far we talked for a few minutes but I could’ve talk to him for hours his voice was sweet and strong just the way I remembered. It was definitely obvious are Love had not changed! There was still a deep feeling there, just under the surface.... was there more to come?

time went by me Justin ended up secretly dating for about 2 to 3 months then the farm and toy show for FFA was just around the corner and I knew exactly who I wanted to be around that day! I walked across the street to my grandmothers house and called him he answered on the first ring I asked him if he would come down to the farm toy show of course he said yes and came right away. I spent the whole day walking around with him just talking about different things to different parts of our lives the things that had changed.... But the one thing that remained clear was that he felt the same way about me that I did him! ♥️🤗 It was around 9:15 November 11, 2014 we are out by his truck in the student parking lot at Spencer County high school he was parked right in front of the light pole and the second parking spot where listening to music and our song came on love you like that by Canaan Smith and he just held me in his arms and song every word to me looking in my eyes, I had never felt so alive! ♥️ Just like that he pulled me close touched my face and kissed me that was our first kiss! It was perfect just how I had dreamed about for years he was my first love An now I was sure he was gonna be my last! ♥️

Junior year was at its peak I was soon to be a senior and Justin would soon be leaving he would be graduating and will leave the high school for good sadly at this point I’m just on we’re not together he was married to my cousin Samantha nethery.... I was happy for him of course fate is going to do its best and if he was happy so was I ☺️😪 of course yes I was disappointed because I have always dreamed it would be me and him getting married and I had always dreamed I would be his first and he would be my first and we would be each other‘s last! When the time came for the seniors to walk out of the school into their new lives, I cried not because they were leaving that because I knew our lives would never be the same.... more like my life without sing Justin on a daily basis would never be the same! 😪 But I knew that this was for the best and that if he was happy and this was the life you chose to live in that is what is meant to be and if not then God will change the plan!

Justin and Samantha got a divorce after four months of marriage and I was helping Justin through the pain of losing her we hang out as much as we could and we were just talk for hours about the little things in life and how much people take for granted.... As the time went by October the month of Halloween had rolled around Justin and I were best friends we were close closer than ever and that year for Halloween we decided to go to a hunted maze together as a zombie bride and groom! After the maze was over we were on our way home justin Asked me out with my mother’s permission, and we have been together since that day it’s been 11 months now soon to be 12 year and I can honestly say it’s been a year of nothing but joy and love and has really made us understand what real love is and what it Can be! ♥️

How can I even begin to explain Christmas lol, I guess we’ll start with crazy this past year‘s Christmas was fun but a little cluttered with his family and mine together we had a lot of Christmases to go to! However I enjoyed decorating the house with him and Christmas shopping and spending time with each of our families together! This would’ve been my second Christmas with him and I would not of want to spend it with anyone but him! ♥️😍

New Year’s was at night like any other filled with joy and the coming of a new year Justin and I spend the New Year’s watching the ball drop at his trailer on stumps Lane in Washington Kentucky! We ordered pizza and had chili and of course a few sips of alcohol as the Ball began to drop I could feel my heart racing as he pulled me close and gave me a New Year’s kiss! ♥️😘 New Year’s was a success I have no doubt that the new years to come will be any different!

This was the night much like any other all of us hanging out at his trailer watching movies and cooking out on the grill! Justin an I had been together 3 months at the time and we’re crazy in love! ♥️🤗 when super was done, I noticed the boys were actin strange kinda glittery! Justins Mom (Cynthia Chesser) And I had been sitting in the living room watching TV when Justin and Logan (logan Murphy) justins best-friend hollard for me I knew something was suspicious when I walked outside they were standing by just in blue Mazda pick up and there was writing all over the truck he took my hand and walked me over to the back windshield which read “ Rachel will you marry me?” I was shocked 😭😍 Of course I said yes!!! He placed a beautiful gold band with a small round diamond on my hand, I cried it was so beautiful an this moment was everything I dreamed of! I couldn’t believe this was really happening! ♥️😘🤗
