How We Met

Oct. 2010

In October of 2010, Halloween and Career Day at our school fell on the same day. Everyone was dressed up and walking around the cafeteria trying to figure out their futures. That day, I wore a yellow anime shirt with a bow. I walked into the cafeteria to check out colleges when I turned around and saw one of my favorite characters, Blade. He didn't quite look like Wesley Snipes, but he was close enough, so I took a picture with him and kept it forever. After graduation in 2011, we started to notice each other even more. He would drive me home from school. He even took me om my first date to the movies where we saw Transformers 3. The rest is history; we fell in love and never looked back. I waited for him during his time in basic training. He would write me letters about his experience, that I still have today. Now, we're together in Colorado, and can't wait to get married!
