It all started next to the bike racks at Denn John Middle School, Kissimmee, FL, 2005. He liked her, she didn't like him... they were "JUST FRIENDS"...That old bit. But somewhere in all the madness of 8th grade drama, their friendship sparked into something more. In the summer of 2006, right before high school started, they gave it a shot and never looked back...

We took a trip down to Ft. Lauderdale Beach, FL. It was Davids birthday weekend and we decided "why not" make it a getaway trip! We spent THAT evening with his aunt and uncle, whom we adore and were over the hills excited to see! There were drinks, laughter and awkward dance moves... The two story bar was filled with people! We made our way outside to enjoy the breeze coming off the coast. It started to get late, so David and I decided to make our back back to the hotel. We decided to take a walk on the beach. It was beautiful outside and we didn't want to pass up on it! As we were walking, I wanted to relax and sit in the sand. Well David didn't want to get his butt wet and declined my romantic gesture. JOKES ON HIM because fate was on my side that night! He fell, butt down, into the sand! It was GREAT. After laughing, I sat with him watching the waves crash into the shore. It was so peaceful. With him being in Ohio for College, we didn't get many moments like this. I told him, "see, this is why I need to have a professional photographer with us at all times..." and he busts out with a ring and "you mean for moments like this..." He slid the ring on my finger as I said yes.
