Seth and I have known each other since the second grade. We grew up going to the same elementary school, and even were in the same class twice. Seth began to pester me around the sixth grade, where he sat in front of me in every single class (much to my demise) because we sat in alphabetical order. I remember Seth wrote his name all over my binder one day in class, and I pretended to be upset (even though I definitely had a crush on him). We continued to be friends, and have a lot of mutual friends throughout the rest of elementary school and seventh grade. We became closer friends in the eighth grade, by texting each other constantly. Seth asked me to dance with him at the CMS dance to the slow song (gasp!) and the rest is history.

After dating for 8 years throughout high school and college at Auburn, Seth asked me to marry him under an oak tree in my backyard while the sun set. It was beautiful and so perfect. Afterwards, we celebrated with dinner with immediate family and watched the Auburn football game. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect engagement!
