Well, first off Chris and I met at his cousin Rhiannon's house. She invited me over for dinner one night and her mom invited Chris over so we sat around for a while and talked. Then he kept asking Rhiannon how I was doing and how old I was. Well, she told him that I would be 18 in a couple of months, but really it was like 9 months. LOL!!! Well, he came to where I was working on April 11th and asked me what time I got off and I didn't get off until midnight. He came back at like 11:30 p.m and waited for me to get off. I didn't get off until 12:45 a.m. It was so cute. After I got off of work we went out driving around. This is the 1st time that we have actually hung out alone. We have hung out a couple times before that but it was with Rhiannon. Anyways, we were driving around, talking, you know the usual. Well we parked at the Taylor softball field by the rodeo grounds and started talking. All of a sudden he just kissed me. It was amazing. Ever since that night we have been together.
After a couple months of dating we went to Vernon at a dance that we knew who was performing so we went. The night before that we got into this big ol' conversation about how he doesn't want to say that he loves me because of what had happened the previous year and he wants to make sure that I am the right girl for him and stuff. Well, he must have went home that night and prayed about it because while we were dancing he grabbed me and whispered into my ear that he loves me. It made me cry. It was the sweetest thing. So after that, we started talking about how we felt about marriage. Chris, of course, was a little shaky and didn't know what to think about the whole marriage thing because he had gotten a divorce because she cheated on him and he was kind of nervous. Then, after a while of talking about it he got more confortable and was more serious about things. Everything was going good!
On October 18, 2008 we went to the Valley for a reunion I think it was for his Mclellan family and he had everything planned out. He told his mom and dad that he might ask me to marry him that night, he told his cousin Tiffany and her husband, and his cousin Peggy. I was getting a little frustrated because he kept going into the hallway of the church and leaving me in the gym where I knew no body at all and he would be out there for like 5 minutes with each one of the people. Well, we went to the mall and he told me that we were just going to look at rings just for fun. Stupid me, I didn't think anything about it because we had gone to Walmart and looked at rings before. Well we looked at rings and we walking around the mall afterwards and he said he had to go to the "restroom." He was gone for 1 hour before he got back.
We get to his house and it was like 11:45 p.m before we got there. I go to use the restroom and when I get out he asked me if I took my book home that he had bought me and he made look and look around the house for it. Well, he put the ring on top of the book and when I had found it he spun me around real quick and asked me to marry him. It was fantastic. I was so surprised and happy. I didn't know what to think. Of course I said yes, who wouldn't if you love the person right.
We got married 3 months after that on January 30, 2009. It was the best day of my life. We were so happy. It was the best wedding I could ever dream of. So as of right now I have a wonderful mother-in-law and a father-in-law. My brother-in-law is a wonderful guy as well. I know Chris looks up to him alot. My mom, and step dad are really supportive and everything is going well.
