John and I are getting married on July 25, 2009 and I don't think either one of us could be more excited. As most of you know, we were friends for 8 years before we started dating. I always wanted to date sooner, but John wasn't interested (he will disagree with that, but I just think he feels bad) ANYWAYS, I always thought he was adorable and probably one of the nicest guys I had ever met, BUT for one reason or another the timing was always wrong. In Dec 06, I graduated from college and moved back home. Just a few short months before that John moved back home as well. I must say we hit it off right from the start. Wait, let me back up a few months...
I had actually seen John in November previous to me moving home, he had just got settled in at home and I invited him to come shopping with me... we were out and about and decided to go out to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. While we were sitting there, he looked dead in my eyes and said, "I always knew I could fall in love with you". Yes ladies and gentlemen... right in Ruby Tuesdays! I was completely blown aways and for a moment everyone in the room disappeared... I couldn't even speak... I think I may have even called him a liar. That night on my way home, I can't even tell you how many of my friends I called to tell them that my life long crush actually told me that he may love me. I always felt like John was "the one who got away"....... After that, we didn't talk for over a month... I was busy, trying to graduate college and John had just started a new job working midnights.

So now here we are planning a wedding. I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead in my life. I know all you married people are out there reading this thinking, "oh, just wait...all that lovey dovey stuff is going to end". And who knows....somedays it may feel like it. I know life is hard and challenges arise and sometimes they are SO challenging that they want to make you rethink everything. If John and I made it this far, I believe we can make it through anything. Not only are we completely in love with each other, but I must say John has an amazing outlook on life and marriage. I feel completely blessed to have him in my life. If nothing else ever worked out for us, having him would make it OK because I honestly don't know what I would do without him.
Before I go on, I must give a shout out to the other man in my life and John's favorite doggy... our Winston. We are crazy about this dog and he also brings a ton of laughter to our lives...
