We were both in a cheer competition and they kicked our butts that day. Surprisingly, our two teams meshed together well and we were all visiting with each other in the hotel. I still remember the first time I saw him. He had just come out of one of the boys rooms and my first thought when I saw him was "I'm going to marry him". I was shocked, and actually had to have a little talk with myself and remind myself that you can't just go around thinking that about people you just met. So I pushed the thought aside. We all had a great weekend together at the competition and while we may have not formed a strong bond in that short time, anytime I saw him after resulted in hours long conversations. It wasn't until almost eight months later that we began to test the waters to become more than acquaintances. I fell hard, fast and I've been head over heels for him ever since.
