In sixth grade my family had decided to move to Murrieta, where Payton had lived. (little did I know I would meet the love of my life there) I was unsure as my parents began to look at houses, but one day I just knew we found THE ONE. I begged my mom to pick this one. Why? you ask.. Well at the time I would have never admitted this, but there was a VERY cute boy that lived across the street and I just knew I had to meet him. Fast forward, we finally moved in! How exciting! Over a series of two to three weeks both of us would peak out our windows and give each other small embarrassed smiles as we saw each other. I finally met Payton and immediately knew he would hold a special place in my heart. I was right, we became best friends and have been inseparable for eight years!! We would walk to school every day together and stay outside until our porch lights flickered. Just two silly kids that adored each other and everyone could see it. Eighth grade year came along and Payton asked me to be his Girlfriend. We went to every high school dance together and supported each other at every cross country race. Then, we moved to Utah for college and fell deeper in love. Now we are engaged!! crazy how life works. I can't believe Im going to marry my middle school sweetheart/high school sweetheart and college sweetheart!!. Exciting things to come as Im finishing college and Payton is embarking on his Air Force journey AND were getting married!!. Here we are, Still those two silly kids that adored each other.
