We  met in Latin class Fall semester, 2008. I had a giant crush on him and so finally the last day of the semester, I invited him over to study for the final. We hit it off right away, and spent HOURS talking, I invited him to a christmas cookie party that I was having that weekend and we spent the day before making cookies for it, we spent 14 hours just hanging out talking, getting to know each other and making cookies. The day of the party came, and I made my roommate go with me to buy Mistletoe to maybe help him make his move. I spent the whole night standing under the mistletoe, and nothing happened. then at the very end of the party I was not paying attention and didn't even realize I was under it at this point, he came up and kissed me! I was so surprised that I forgot to kiss him back. He then pulled away terrified that he shouldn't have kissed me, hahaha I had to be like no it was ok, do it again! and we've been together ever since! We started dating December 12th, 2008. Got engaged on April 2nd, 20010. and were married on June 5th, 2010. This past year has been the happiest and the hardest of my life. I am in love with my husband, and could not be happier with the man that is my husband, but it's hard because we are not physically together right now, and let me tell you, being away from your husband for 7 months is a REALLY long time.
