I was in fourth grade when I met the man of my dreams, CCH; little did we know back then that we would meet up again and again and the crazy story we would have. We met again in high school, Chad was a junior (17) and I was a freshman (14). We had English classes across the hall from each other and started with glances then smiles, then we finally spoke. We went on our first date Saturday December 7, 2002. We went to the movies and brought friends along (Hunter, Whitney & Erin) it was freezing when we got out of the movie and Chad gave me his lettermans jacket and me, Whit and Erin shared it because we had to wait on my Mom to come pick us (the girls) up because we couldn't drive yet ;) By Monday December 9, 2002 we made it official and were "boyfriend & girlfriend." He was my first boyfriend and I was crazy about him. We said "I love you" after 23 days and definitely meant it. We went to EVERY high school dance and took 500 pictures at every one. We were and still are picture freaks! We were such an amazing couple all of high school, until immature, young and dumb me decided i was afraid of only dating one guy and being with him my entire life. I wanted to see what else was out there, worst decision of my life. I broke up with him, broke both of our hearts. I dated a few guys for a couple months each and none of them ever lived up to my expectations; I had already dated my perfect guy, so how could they? We tried getting back together a couple times but every time one of us wasn't all the way ready. Then we both had pretty serious relationships with other people that lasted a couple years each, but even while we were with them we always thought of each other and would end up talking again, but again somehow the timing was never right... Until, June 28, 2011 at 9:58p.m. when I needed him the most and was thinking about him all the time.. I got a text from him. I was walking out of the hospital from visiting my Grandmother when his name popped up on my phone. I don't think anything has ever "taken my breath away" until that text message. My Mimi was in the hospital for the second time in two weeks and I was missing Chad so much; then, almost as if he knew I needed him more than ever I get a text from him saying I had been "really heavy on his heart lately and he knew I needed him." We have been together everyday since that text. He was there for me through the hardest time of my life when Mimi passed away on July 11th, and I'm so thankful he got to see her on her last good day in the hospital. And I'm so so thankful that she got to see us together again, she loved him so much and I know she is in heaven smiling down on us everyday. I'm so blessed to have him in my life and he couldn't have come at a better time. I'm so blessed to have his family in my life, I love them like they are my own and can't wait until they really are someday -hopefully soon ;)
So, that's a little bit of our story.. Get ready to hear lots more! :)
(Also, sorry if there are typos or parts don't make sense.. It's almost 2am and I didn't proof read) :)
