" We love because he first loved us." ~ 1 John 4:19

E- Something told you I was the one you wanted to keep walking alongside, day after day, year after year, to build alongside and see what happens next on this journey. Occasionally we reminisce on the day we met. That day is a day I'll never forget. I remember everything. We joke about that fact all the time but its true. The day we met I had no idea who you were, I didn't even know your name... but I remember passing you a few times walking to my job on the assembly line, I remember thinking how incredibly handsome & outgoing you were. I secretly wondered who the lucky tall, beautiful blonde was that got to call you hers. Little did I know you had your eye on a short, shy, bubbly- brunette. But I had no idea ... yet. So the days passed by, every day I'd walk past the toolbox where you hung out, headed to my job minding my own business, until the day I got put on the same job as you. As I walked up I was so nervous, going over & over in my head how not to stumble over my words & act real tough because I was DETERMINED not to date! But every time I looked your way there was this feeling... you know the butterflies in your stomach feeling... but better. I felt as if I had known you for my entire life yet I had no idea how to approach you. You were the missing piece I didn't even know I was missing. Right away there was chemistry, both of us skating on thin ice not knowing how the other felt, it wasn't long though until you added me on Facebook (a few hours) & the casual banter ensued. With each conversation we had, I fell more and more in love with you. About 2 weeks in is when I told my bestfriend LaRicka that you were the one I could see myself walking down the aisle & being with for the rest of my life! I'm so very proud of the man you are today! Every day spent with you since the day we first met is exactly what I've been waiting for my entire life & I can not wait to see where life takes us next! I love you!
