yeah, I had my schedule for my freshman year set up for dance class, but one of my friends convinced me to join JROTC with her, so I did, which moved my english class to 4th period (b/c JROTC wasn't offered 4th period) and put JROTC 1st period. If I didn't make that decision, I wouldn't have met Chris and I wouldn't be here typing about it now (that's how I came up with my first quote below, b/c the simpliest decision of changing my schedule led me to my future husband and has change my life dramatically) I remember when I first looked at him. I was talking to some guy behide me about one of my friends, and Chris just comes right in the conversation, saying, "I know her". I remember looking at him and thinking."He's really cute" and " I have to go out with this guy", but the problem was, I already had a boyfriend (who was ignoring me that whole day). There was a car wash Chris and I attended to, and well, we flirted alot. It was GREAT!! I finally got rid of my boyfriend a month later and I really wanted to go out with Chris, but my heart sank when my friend came up to me and told me that Chris liked her. She asked me if she should go out with her, and I remember telling her "You should b/c he's a really great guy" when I wanted to tell her "NO you can't, he's mine!!" A month later, she came up to me and told me that she wanted to break up with him for another guy, and I really wanted to kick her butt b/c the way she was. I was so mad at her for hurting him b/c I knew that he didn't deserve getting hurt by her. Chris and I stopped talking for a while until a day when our English class went to the library to do research papers. I was at my computer for about 15-30 minutes, bored as I was trying to find research on the Great Depression, when I noticed someone standing behide me. I turned around and guess who it was? Chris. I said hi and asked how he was. He ended up sitting down beside me and we talked for what it seemed like forever. All the old feelings I had for him came back to me. We were close friends and we still are, but even closer. The Military Ball was coming up in 2 months, and about everyone had dates, except me. Chris was my first choice, but we weren't talking at the time, so I decided not to, but when we started talking again, I really wanted him to be my date, but I didn't have the courage. I just asked him if he was going, and he said probably not b/c he didn't have a date. well, the weekend went by and that Monday, I told my friend that I wanted to ask him, and she told me to go for it. So, that whole week, I tried and I tried, but I just didn't have the courage. So, finally, that Friday, I had a plan: after TAP class (which is basically homeroom between 2nd and 3rd period), I planned on accidently bumping into him, since his TAP class is right next to mine. So, once the bell rang, I hurried out and tried to make it work, but I was one second late. he was behind me somewhere, so I created a Plan B: act like you're looking for someone and see him and be like "oh hey". So I did that and it worked!!!
So, we started talking and well, I just blurted it out,"If you decide to go to the Military Ball, Would you go with me?" He turned around and looked at me and was like "really?" and I said "yeah" and he told me he would. I was so excited!!! I couldn't stop smiling all day long. well, the weekend went by and it was Monday again. I was really bored in my History class, so I decided to write Chris a note about my weekend. It was a crazy note, and I was acting myself (I am naturally a crazy, goofy person, just ask Chris yourself, and he'll agree). Anyways, I gave it to him and 3rd period went by. Then when 4th period came, I was sitting at my desk when a note landed at my desk, I looked up and Chris just gave me a smile. I thought, "oh he's just writing me back about his weekend" well, I was reading it and when I got halfway thru it, this line shocked me to death. It said, "I was wondering if you asked me to the Military Ball b/c we're friends or if you liked me, b/c, to be honest, I like you and I was wondering if you would go out with me?" I probably read that line a gazillion times before finishing the letter. I never thought he liked me, and I really liked him a whole lot, but I wasn't ready to have a boyfriend. so, I laid my head on my desk and prayed about it, and God spoke to me through my heart, saying, "Go for it. He's not like your ex-boyfriends. He's different. You'll last a long time with him." so, I wrote him back and said yes to him. I didn't think that when he said a long time, he meant forever. within the years, my love for him has grown, and well, I just fell in love with him. I think I fell in love with him since I first saw him, but didn't see it until we started dating. Sorry so long, but I'm a detailed type of person. If you read this Chris, I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!!!!
