It's finally happening!

Our story begins before most people even know what love is. I am talking way back in 2001, when we were just innocent little kids in the fifth grade. Yep, you read that right; we met when we had the same teacher for our last year of elementary school. I was busy playing soccer and cheerleading. Chris was busy plotting ways to win me over, because he already had his heart set on me. I remember that year, I received an anonymous Valentine's Day card that just simply wrote "I Love you". It wasn't until a few years later that I found out it was from him! Fast forward two years and we shared a few classes in the seventh grade. This is where our friendship blossomed. We became best friends. We would walk to each other's houses and all over town. Of course, it would be with our group of friends, but we just became inseparable. Little naive me, didn't even realize he was secretly crushing on me... hard. Fast forward another three years; by now we are getting used to life as sophomores in highschool. I was now playing lacrosse and he was playing hockey. We were hanging out at our friends house and just messing around like we usually did, when out of nowhere, he kissed me on the cheek. I paused for a second; I could feel my cheeks blushing and my heart start racing. So, I kissed him back on the cheek. For just a second, I could almost see the thoughts racing through his head, the smile that took over his face. That moment was short lived, because with almost no hesitation at all, he kissed me again, but this time it wasn't on the cheek! From then on, we have been attached at the hip. Even with taking a year and a half hiatus for college, we always found our way back to one another. Now, here we are; 13 years after that first kiss, living in Florida so I could pursue my career in nursing and Chris working on becoming a master technician. Who would have thought those two little elementary school classmates would wind up here, planning a wedding & still driving each other crazy!
