The Beginning

My husband and I were married a little more than 6 years ago and we have been friends for almost 10 years.

{We're not awkward at all}

People always ask if we were high school sweethearts and the answer to that is ummm... sort of?
We started dating my sophomore year, James' junior year of high school. I wanted to go to prom and a mutual friend convinced James to ask me. So we wouldn't have an awkward prom date, we decided to go out before the dance to get to know each other better.

{Awesome backdrop, right?}

Our first date was a trip to the movies to see the MOST BORING MOVIE OF ALL TIME "The Alamo" . Let me tell you something, if you're a horny hormonal teenage boy and want to make out, go to a boring movie, there's a chance you might get lucky. James swears that wasn't his intention, but we all know better. Needless to say, we hit it off and dated off and on throughout the rest of our high school years. After I graduated things became more serious and James proposed December 9th, 2006, just a few days before my 19th birthday. Eight months later we were FINALLY married on August 11th, 2007.
