How we Met

So I thoughtI would write about this, it always puts a smile on my face. So William and I go back to 5th grade. Apparently he sat behind me in class and fell in love with my HAIR! I had no idea he was even in my class I only remember him coming over to my friend Amber's house and asking if he could play. He said he knew when I was there and was stalking me, but I think he just really wanted to play. The part that I remember is him being in my first period 6th grade science class, Mr. Rogers. I remember walking in and seeing William sitting there with Scott and they would call me by this stupid name they made up... not a nickname a mean name. Then there was 7th grade, he sat close to me in Coach Aguillard's Texas History class. He still picked on me, but according to him I would talk to him too. Like I would come to school some days and just sit down and talk to him like he was my best friend. I don't recall that, I remember hating him for calling me that nasty name. Then I moved in 8th grade and we stayed in touch, I even tried setting him up with a new friend from my high school. It didn't work out, in fact he hated me for it and we lost touch.

So, October 2008, I was a Myspacer back then, and one day out of the blue I got an e-mail. Not just an ordinary 'how you doin', but he was apologizing for how he treated me back then. And we talked until December when he came home on leave. See he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. So he came home, and we arranged a 'date'. I brought an old friend, Megan, and he brought his friend Harry. I remember that date like it was yesterday. William had just bought his 2009 Dodge Challenger, deep water blue, lol yes I still remember. I had no idea what I challenger was, nor did I know what he looked like, so here comes this hot car and some guy whistling at me asking where the parking was. It took me a minute to realize IT WAS WILLIAM. So we all get inside and the first thing I notice was hot incredibly tall he was. He was always tall in school, but now he was the tallest guy I knew! I am 5'0 he is 6'6... you see the difference? So he decides to sit on a bench so we can talk, and the first thing he says to me is 'Wow you have gotten so beautiful!' And the first thing I notice is his gorgeous green eyes. William has eyes that change colors, they are always this olive color, but when he is telling the truth, or being honest to himself, as I say it, they turn this beautiful shade of green.

So we go on the whole time he is home that month and have like 6 dates. We get to his going away party and we sit down and tell each other we think we love each other. We decided to take the 24 hour plane trip to think about a relationship. I hadn't ever done long distance before and didn't know if I could but at the same time, I had strong feelings for him. So I said my last good bye and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Like harder than when SD left. I cried the whole time I couldn't talk to William, I missed him so much. He makes me laugh more than I have laughed in years. We have the same sarcastic sense of humor, when we get pissed off, we have the same attitude so I can predict his next move and he predicts mine. I knew it was just meant to be. So when he did finally call me, I had tears of joy to hear his voice again and I told him I knew I loved him and we had to be together forever. He knew the same. He said he couldn't sleep on his flight because I was all he could think about. (amazing how I can still remember all this)

So it would be 6 more months before I could touch him again. It would be our wedding. And yes we have our ups and downs, we have only been together for a little over a year, married for 8 months. And we have only been living together for about 4 months now, so we are still getting used to each other. But I wouldn't trade any of this for anything. He absolutely makes me smile and takes such good care of us.
