So, I decided to start a blog. And as I was sitting here trying to think about what to write about, all I could think of was to write about my best friend, and soon to be husband (Aug 7th, 2010!!). He truly is such a blessing in my life and I'm so grateful that I get the oppourtunity to spend time and all eternity with him. He's been my greatest support in everything I do, and truly is my better half! I don't know what I would do without him!
Kevin and I started our relationship on July 26, 2004, when we were both only 16 years old. We broke up about 6 months later, just because we were so young, and decided to go our own ways. We figured if it was meant to be, we'd find our way back to each other in the future. I went to school at Indiana University, and Kevin served his mission for 2 years in Utah, my home state.
5 years had passed since we had seen each other, and quite frankly, I never thought I would ever see him again. One day, while I was working in Bloomington Hospital ER, I walked by one of our patient room and saw a girl that looked to be about 16 years old. She looked so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on where I knew her from. She had the same look on her face, so I figured I'd check out our computer and see who she was. Little did I know, it was Kevin's little sister! I finally got the courage to go talk to her, expecting her to not remember me, since she was 11 the last time I saw her. But she did! I went and talked to her and her parents, and found out that Kevin was coming home from his mission in 2 months.
4 months passed, and on one of my days of Facebook stalking people, a message popped up, and it was Kevin! We arranged to meet up the day before he left to move back to Utah for school (Oct 27, 2009). Needless to say, my stomach was in knots the whole day!! I wondered what he looked like, hoped that he would like me, etc...all the thoughts that goes through someone's head when they are meeting up with an old friend. I pulled up to his house, and thought my stomach was going to fly away! I knocked on the door, and almost fell to the ground when he opened the door... he looked amazing. Everything I had felt for him 5 years prior came flooding back. We went out on our date....and that was that! We knew that night that this was it! And I couldn't be any happier!!
We got engaged January 2, 2010... the most wonderful day! Wedding planning has been fun, but the stress of budgeting has slowly crept up on us! But I know it will all be worth it! Well, I'm at work...guess I should get back to my duties :/...more to come soon!
