9 Years!
Wow. What a wild ride these last 9 years have been! On September 3rd, 2012 we were engaged to be married! It seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at the same time. I was feeling really nostalgic, so I wanted to write down a brief history of our courtship 9 years ago. Spring Semester 2012: I had been living in the same apartment complex for a couple years and felt I had outgrown it. My time there was a blast, but I was ready to move on. I signed a year long contract and paid lots of money toward a newer, nicer apartment a couple miles down the road. I was ready for change. I'd exhausted all my options with dating (or so it seemed ;) ) and felt the push to move on. Little did I know, my husband was moving in around the same time! I decided to throw a little ward BBQ on the back patio of the apartments to give the new tenants a chance to meet. Ward stare, fresh meat, new options, etc. You know! Who was new to the crew! A perfect excuse to check out the new potentials! No shame...
