Tim and I have known each other our entire lives. We use to play together as children and went all through school together. We never really showed any interest in each other romantically but considered ourselves friends.
Tim joined the Army our senior year in high school and left before graduation. He spent six years serving our country! Tim traveled around alot for work and has seen alot of places and experienced so much. He has an amazing five year old daughter, Mihailey. She is such a wonderful child!
I graduated from high school and then attended Lynchburg College for four years. I persued my career in education. I also got to witness alot of amazing places while in college.
We both were settled into our lives; Tim living in Georgia and I was still in Appomattox. We had not spoken to each other in nearly ten years when I recieved a friend request on Facebook from him (go figure right, everyone has Facebook!). We began catching up on there, talking about how much life was different and what was going on with each other. The Facebooking turned into phone calls that would last for hours.
Tim decided to make a trip to VA for the 4th of July and to also celebrate his Grandma's birthday. We went on our first date July 3rd, 2009. We continued to talk and see each other over the course of his visit, and I was shocked when he told me, he decided to stay in Appomattox.
He began working with my dad and we started spending alot of time together. After debating on whether or not it was too improfessional to date the bosses daughter, and finally talking with Dad, he asked me out on July 28th.
Fast forward a few months!
We took a trip to South Carolina for Memorial Day 2010, to visit with his family there.
His brother Craig had a Memorial Day cookout, where the house was fillied with family and friends that I was meeting for the first time. He took me into the living room and sat me down in the middle of those family and friends and got down on one knee!!! I said yes, of course!!! |
