Brandon and I met in high school- he was a senior, I was a junior, in 2001. We had the same group of friends and shared the same study hall. After somewhat hanging out with friends over the summer, we were the only two people that really knew each other in study hall, and every day I asked the teacher (our choir director) if I could sit next to Brandon. Eventually, he just told me to move permanently!
After almost an entire semester of having lunch and study hall together every day, Brandon told me he would pick me up after a girls basketball game to go hang out with friends afterwards. Our first real date was on December 15, 2001- we went Christmas shopping and then hung out at his mom's house. Of course, I told one of our mutual friends that I was starting to have feelings for him, and when I was on vacation the week before, our friend had spilled to Brandon. So, that night of our first date, Brandon asked me if that was true, and then asked me to be his girlfriend. I was elated.

We did the long distance thing when he went an hour away to college, and then I went 45 minutes away to college. Fast forward to November 22, 2006- after almost 5 years of dating, Brandon proposed out in the field where we want to build a house one day.
We planned our wedding for our 6 year anniversary, December 15, 2007.
It snowed 6 inches on our wedding day, but it was the perfect beginning to our new lives together.
