a wittle wuv story

So last week was our 6 month anniversary.

*CONFETTI*

It's so strange to me that we've been married for half a year now.

In the big scheme of things, 6 months is NOTHING.

And even compared to how long we have actually known each other, and been in love, 6 months is nothing.

We met at our freshman ward opening social, 4 YEARS AGO!

Haha sooooooo typical!

We started spending gobs of time together, pretty much from the beginning.

I was all about the cute blonde boy who wore glasses, moccasins, and Jimmy Eat World t-shirts, let me tell you.

I'm glad things have gotten better with your hair situation Christian.

Jussayin.

So our second semester, we took a Book Of Mormon class together

(again, soooo typical ha!)

and that was when sparks really started to fly.

Nothing like a religion class to really turn up the heat in a relationship, amiright?!

Anyways, towards the end of the semester we both confessed our feelings for one another.

Went on a few pseudo dates, 

and decided that we weren't going to let things get too serious because:

a) he was going home to FL, and I to AZ. Helloooo long distance!

b) he was also going on a mission. Hellloooo longer distance!

Anyways,

that lasted a hot 4 days.

Then Christian decided to call me from the airport on his way home and it was all down (or rather up!) hill from there.

We spent hours on the phone, every day, for the next 6 weeks.

Before he left for Uruguay, we left it at: 

"Let's write letters, you serve the Lord, I'll date other boys, and we will see what happens in 2 years"

Basically

So 2 years, an almost engagement (slash an almost dear John!), and LOTS of letters later, he came home!
(This was last July)

And even though we didn't admit it from the start, we both knew where it was going to lead eventually....

*hint: starts with "m" and rhymes with "larriage"...*

And so we dated for about 5 months,
all whilst getting our feet on the ground as a couple,
fell back into a giddy, happy and new kind of love,

got engaged, 

and then 4 months later, we were married.

FOR FOREVER.
Eeeeeeee
:)

And now here we are. 

4 years after it all began.

And well.... really couldn't be happier.
