9 Years!

It was 9 years ago today that Chris and I became "officially" boyfriend and girlfriend. After a summer of playing cat and mouse, my high school crush finally asked me to be his girlfriend. Standing at his locker, before homeroom, I dove into a relationship having no idea where it would someday take me.

I remember being at a bonfire that night and watching him with his group of friends. Like a ton of bricks, it hit me that for once, I wasn't on the lonely side of a one-sided relationship. He asked me out....so he must actually like me! Even to this day I find it hard to believe that someone can love me so much.

Being high-school sweethearts may seem cliche, but I feel so incredibly blessed that God has allowed us to grow up together. He is not only my soul mate, but he is my best friend. There is no one who knows me inside and out quite like my husband, and for that, I am so grateful.

So Happy Anniversary honey! I know people say we aren't supposed to celebrate dating anniversaries after we're married, but how can not celebrate the day when it all began? Here's to many more!
