Three years ago today, this cute guy asked me to be his wife.
My mom did a photo shoot with me literally an hour before Sammy kidnapped me to propose. Who knew those would be my last photos without a ring on.
Side note. I'm desperately waiting for my hair to get that long again. Come on hair, you can do it!
I remember picking out my outfit that morning, wondering if Sammy was going to propose, and purposefully picking a shirt that wasn't my favorite, in hopes that I wouldn't jinx it. It worked.
Here's where you can read about my engagement. It's a pretty great story if I do say so myself.
Six years ago today, I met Sammy for the first time.
This is the girl that he met that first day of school. Except I was wearing a much cuter purple shirt. Sammy wouldn't let me find or put a picture of him from back then, and since I love him I won't. But he looked MUCH different, and lived in Hollister shirts and too big jeans.
Thinking back on first meeting him, and just the beginning of our relationship, it honestly scares me how close this all came to not happening. The littlest of things could have thrown the universe out of wack and we wouldn't have been together. Or I said or did something completely crazy and he could have just walked away. Like when I brought up the idea of marriage before we were eighteen. And many, many more things like that.
The other day after working out in the morning, I was completely sweaty and my clothes were soaked, so I threw all of them off. Normally I would have hopped straight into the shower, but I really wasn't feeling good and needed to get some food in me. So I poured a bowl of cereal and got to eating it, in the nude, on the couch. Sammy sat next to me and we chatted. I asked him if he ever thought he would be doing this when he met me in high school six years ago. The answer was a definite no.
Yet, this is our life.
Our awesome life where Sammy only eats one slice of frozen pizza so I can bring one for work the next day. A life where we we've watched all the blockbusters this summer late at night. A life where we genuinely love spending every day together and laugh so much. A life where Sammy cutely named all the plants and solar systems in 'No Man's Sky' after me. A life where we're accomplishing our dreams and continually making new ones. I'm so glad I met this wonderful boy, and for some reason he stood out to me. I'm so glad that he took me to a beautiful park and got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. And I'm so glad that we've worked together and continue working together on our relationship that will last for eternity.

Lol I wore a bathrobe all day yesterday because I didn't feel like getting dressed. It was nice to be able to do that! ;)
