After many attempts of Garridan trying to talk to me through Instagram, I finally responded. Garridan was working all the way in Pecos, Texas but pretty soon we were talking every single day via text. After months of texting and eventually face-timing Garridan got to come home and take me on our first date. The very day after he got home he drove straight to where I worked (Hemphill Brookshire Brothers) at the time and waited for me to get off. My shift wan't over until 8:00 but he waited anyways. We drove to Lufkin to catch a movie, we talked and laughed the whole way there and home. As our night came to an end and I was getting out of his truck he looks and me and says "dont forget these" with the biggest smile on his face his hands me a bouquet of flowers. I remember the butterfly's, and feeling on top of the clouds. Quite frankly, the feelings haven't changed almost a year and a half later. I cannot wait to marry my best friend.
