Jon and I remembered each other from school. We never talked or really knew much about each other when we were growing up. We had a class together, and if you ask Jon, he remembers where I sat, what kind of backpack I carried, & that I would sometimes come in with my hair still wet (lol, it was first period, don't judge!!). Even to this day, he notices all these little details. We started texting back and forth then decided to go on a date. It was one of those "omg, this is different" kind of dates. The kind I didn't know existed. We both knew we wanted to keep seeing each other. One thing led to another, and we were meeting each other's families, going on vacations, talking about the future, etc. The number one thing that sealed the deal for me (Sophie) was how strong the bond between him and Mia was right off the bat. It's one thing for me to love him, but to know that Mia loves, adores, & looks up to her "Jonny" meant/means the absolute world to me. We discussed marriage a lot. There were lots of talks like, "People are going to think we're crazy!!" Those talks always ended with, "Oh well, we love each other and know this is a rare thing to find." Jon lured me to his shop (his home away from home) in North Little Rock and proposed to me in front of our families. Now we're here!!! We can't wait to spend forever together.
