The story of "Us"

As I walked into the building for the first day of school my Freshman year, nervous doesn't even touch what I was feeling. Not only was it my first year of high school, but it was also a NEW high school. Plus, many of the students at this school had been together since Preschool. I knew some of them from church, but I was still so scared that I wouldn't fit in. I quickly discovered that there were about 6 other people who were brand new that year also. The six of us bonded rather quickly our freshman year.

There seemed to be an attraction between myself and one of those other newbies- a guy named Jamie. However, we didn't date- we just were good friends our Freshman year. Our sophomore and junior years we weren't as close. He had different girlfriends, I had a serious boyfriend, and we kind of went on separate paths.

However, our senior year led our paths back together. Not without some drama, though. I'm not sure much can happen in high school without a little drama, right? Anyway, we started dating our senior year, and well, the rest is history.

We went off to college together, graduated from college one Saturday and got married the very next weekend.

Many people didn't think we were meant to be together. They said we'd never make it. I'm not going to lie and say that the entire road has been free of bumps or obstacles, but we have been able to overcome every roadblock together. It's been a great 9 years and I look forward to many more years ahead with him by my side!

Happy Anniversary Jamie!!
