Reception

It started back in 5th&nbsp;grade when I sent a friend to go tell Emily that I liked her... I know it's cheesy but hey, it was 5th grade.&nbsp; After that it went back and forth, mainly for her.&nbsp; &nbsp;I would tell her I&nbsp;liked&nbsp;her&nbsp;and wanted to date her,&nbsp;and in return I'd get a "Ohhh that's nice".&nbsp; But when she finally said yes (...6 years later)&nbsp;I was so thrilled! The girl of my dreams had finally said she would date me!&nbsp; A month went by and she decided&nbsp;she didn't like me anymore, so that ended&nbsp;that... She sent me a random text a couple of months later,&nbsp;and the rest is history. We went on some more dates and I fell completely in love with her.&nbsp; Everything about her.&nbsp; Her love for Christ, her smile, her laugh, and obviously her gorgeousness.&nbsp; All of those still hold true today and there are more&nbsp;characteristics - but I don't have enough room to write them all down.&nbsp; Without her I'm not really sure where I'd be in life.&nbsp;&nbsp;She's the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I'm blessed to have had her right by my side the past 4 years, and for the rest of my life!

His Side

I've known Dax (&&nbsp;his fam)&nbsp;for as long as I&nbsp;can remember. We&nbsp;attended the same church, and&nbsp;it was after several children's choir performances and church camps later, that I&nbsp;finally started to really notice his goofy self. I&nbsp;started crushing on him when I&nbsp;was told (via Dax's friend)&nbsp;that *he* had a crush on *me*. (Considering I&nbsp;was fresh out of the 6th grade, crushes were a BIG&nbsp;DEAL, and especially finding out someone was crushing on ME? MAJOR&nbsp;DEAL.&nbsp;&nbsp;;) )&nbsp; Of course my head kept me from being truly&nbsp;ready for an actual relationship until my senior year of high school -&nbsp;but that didn't stop Dax from trying to be something&nbsp;all of the years in between (it's pretty funny now&nbsp;to read back at all of his attempts via facebook messenger).&nbsp; We actually&nbsp;went on a date his freshman year of hs, but I&nbsp;was too shy and weirded out by the thought of being something, so once again I&nbsp;told him no...

We finally made it "officially&nbsp;official" at&nbsp;the beginning of our junior/senior years of high school&nbsp;and haven't stopped talking or making memories together&nbsp;since :)&nbsp;It's crazy to see just&nbsp;how far we've come since our awkward on &&nbsp;off "friendship"&nbsp;throughout the years... but now we've been dating for over&nbsp;4,&nbsp;and it's been an amazing and wonderful time. He never fails&nbsp;to make me laugh, and is so supportive, forgiving, and encouraging. We are complete opposites (which is loads of fun, really!) and I&nbsp;love that he can bring out the best in me. So excited to have him by my side and do life together forever!!
