Alex and I met in high school, he was in grade 9 and I was in grade 8. He saw me walking in the hallways and added me on Facebook. The funny part? Alex and one of my older brother Derek hated each other, so when Derek saw that we were talking on Facebook, he told me to stay away from him. Doesn't he know that telling someone not to do something makes them want to do it more? So guess what we did? We kept talking, kept writing each other long notes in class instead of listening, kept hanging out. Our first date was at Place D'Orleans mall, and shortly after, he asked me to be his girlfriend. Few years later he told me he only added me on Facebook to get a rise out of my brother. Almost 13 years later, he proposed on Christmas Eve with the help of our puppy Brodie, surrounded by family. I don't quite remember what I said first (after the sobs), but I sure do remember saying "It's about damn time!" Here we are, close to our 14 year mark together, and WE.ARE.GETTING.MARRIED!!
