Up until 6th grade, I went to a private school. 7th grade I had to make the switch to public school, eek! I started at Beech Grove Middle School and guess who the first person to introduce themself to me? Shawn White. We have always stayed close throughout middle school, high school, and while I was in college. We were never single at the same time through our high school career. After my last relationship ended, I told myself I was done dating. Then, Shawn and I started texting more and more. We hung out more every week and he eventually asked me to be his girlfriend at the Christmas tree lighting at the Sheraton Hotel on the balcony. Fast forward 364 days and he proposed the same place.
