We met in 1995. His sister and I shared a bus stop for high school. He came to pick her up one day and asked me out. We dated for 2 1/2 years. When he graduated from high school he went to the Army. Five years later he was home, and we were back together. We've been together ever since.

He proposed to me on December 25, 2006 after 5 years back together. I didn't acutally believe he was proposing to me when he did. He's good at keeping things quiet, but I thought I'd know when he bought the ring. I was clueless and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
