Friend to Forever
You decided to show me your heart and give me a chance. It was hard and I know I don't deserve you but I also know that God had a plan for our beginning. I will never take you for granted. -
Dude to Sweetheart
You texted me goodnight and called me something other than dude for the first time :P -
"I love you."
We talked till 1:30 am and my heart exploded when I heard the three words. Lying on my couch, I had never smiled as hard as I did that early morning. My life has never been the same. -
Planning our Future
We made our first list of things to do together. You recognized that I needed something to look forward to and we began planning our first leave together. -
You are my "I do."
You told me I was your future and we talked about our wedding and marriage for the first time. I've never stopped planning since. -
All I wanted for Christmas was You.
The longest and happiest hug of my entire life. I finally got to hold you in my arms and call you mine. Our first kiss, cuddling till 2 am, and finally feeling whole. It still makes me tear up when I think about it. -
Our First Christmas
We spent our first Holiday together. You met my family and I knew, without a doubt, that I wanted you a part of it. You'll never live down "A box of scarves??" -
I WHOPPED your cute butt in bowling
Bigpimpdaddy420Blaze took an ego hit when I spanked him in bowling -
Our First Goodbye
It was hard. I cried for weeks straight and it gets harder every time but I wouldn't change this relationship for the world. -
My Man gets a NAM
I still have no idea what all the military lingo means, but I was and am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. I felt so blessed to call you mine and I definitely gloated to my family :) -
Spring Breaking with Bae
I got to see you again! First day of our amazing spring break. Bubbly on the patio and finding itty bitty lost kitties. Julie's was honestly one of the biggest milestones for us and I will definitely make sure we have the sturdiest shower curtains. -
Our Second Goodbye
My roommates thought we had broken up I cried so hard. I waited so impatiently for our pictures and I will forever treasure that photo shoot. -
Swapping Baby Pics!!
This might not seem like a big event to you, but it made my heart so happy and it left me smiling for days. I favorited these photos btw and I can't wait for the day I get to see more of baby Michael. I can't wait to have adorable kids with you and if our children look anything like you, they will be #blessed. -
Crazy Girlfriend turned Wedding Planner
So here's a glimpse into your crazy girlfriend. This is the day I first edited my Pinterest board specifically for our wedding. I had known you were the one but for some reason, on this day, I decided to start counting down till the day I get to call you mine Forever. -
Icecream and Support
Another event that you probably wouldn't put on here, but I was one of the first times you order me something and COMPLETELY surprised me when I was really down. It truly showed me your heart and it made me feel so special and loved that I cried. -
Summer Lovin
We got our second block of leave together. Exploring Lincoln and Omaha with you made me realize how exciting you make new things. I don't feel scared or timid to try new things or go new places, and traveling with you makes my heart so happy. This was also the first time I peed in front of you and although you weren't open to it at first, I'm glad you've come around :) Because I miss you when doors are closed. -
An Addition to our Family
We officially adopted Branson and our family grew by one. The fact that you accept my childishness and embrace me and this relationship for what we are makes me feel so loved. -
BRANSON SURPRISE!!
SLOTHS! LEMURS! Helicopters, Museums, old hotels with amazing beds, a road trip in the rain and the most amazing surprise of my life. This trip and all of the time and money you invested in it made me feel treasured. Legit. I am crying while typing this because it meant so much to me. I love you my sharp shooter. -
We said Goodbye
The fairytale of Branson had to end at some point but this trip changed me and us for the better. I will be forever grateful for all the work you put into this leave and how far you went to make my day. I hope to do the same for you all the time when we are married. -
Planning for the Ball
You bought our tickets and I began to actively search for a dress. The fact that you asked me made me so happy and the support of my family made the trip so meaningful. -
My first flight to you
I had always been a bit afraid of flying, but for you, I didn't even hesitate. I was just so excited to be in your arms. I honestly enjoy flying now and some part of me knows that it's probably because my brain associates flying with going to you. -
Marine Ball
We ate waaaay too much amazing breakfast food, sailed alongside dolphins, fed seal lions, cuddled in Mexican waters, had the BEST burger ever in Little Italy and I fell even deeper in love with you. You made me feel like a princess this entire trip and it really did feel like the world had stopped and it was just us. You introduced me to the ocean, and we explored California together. I can't wait to live there with you. -
Leaving a non-glass slipper
It's fitting that I left one of my favorite heals behind. I can't wait to try and salsa with you at every Marine ball. I had the best looking man there and the goodbye was hard but the trip was amazing and unlike anything I had ever experienced. -
Best Friend to FIANCE
My wildest dreams came true when the man that I love and the greatest blessing God has ever given me, proposed a life together. On a gondola ride, during a beautiful sunset, and in front of a half-naked homeless man (who was most definitely on many drugs), you gave the most perfect proposal and made me so freaking happy. It was perfect, and I know that no matter what happens, the life we'll make together will be absolutely perfect too.
