Most of you know how we met through our youth service organizations of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls and DeMolay International. It wasn't until my Senior year of high school though that I had the thought "He will be mine" ...and I was right.

But it took a while for him to realize the same thing. We remained friends during my senior year while he attended college in the area. I went away to college myself the next year but it was only a hour and 38 minutes drive from my dorm. (I knew that number by heart).

After a year, I eventually got tired of making this drive to see a "friend" so I told him that I wanted more. After some intense negotiations and heart to heart conversations we decided to see where dating would take us. We jumped in head first and haven't looked back since.

Since then we have traveled, laughed, cried and grown together. We have adopted 2 children together. Hugo and Flynn are two adorable pit bulls littermates who have stolen our hearts and infuriate us at the same time.

I have always know Kyle was "the one" and would not so subtly hint at a forever together. From tying paper straw wrappers around his finger at restaurants to telling him that his sons (our dogs) should have his last name too. I can't wait to begin our forever!
