- Shawn and I went to school together since first grade, September of 2000.
- I can't tell you exactly when we met, it's not like sparks were flying in our little 6 and 7 year old minds!
- We became close friends in middle school, when we would hang out in town or at the base ball field down my street.
- I never thought I would've ended up with Shawn. In 11 grade he dated Nikole (my best friend) for about two weeks (LOL) and before we started dating, I swear he tried to get me together with his best friend. (LOL, again)
- We hung out A LOT before we started dating, there came a point where we were pretty much inseparable.
- After we started hanging out a lot we had these nick names for each other. Shawn called me teddy bear and I called him puppy, which is actually a really funny story. He called me teddy bear because if he ever fell asleep or we were laying on the could he would always hold me like I was he little teddy bear, and he still does to this day. I called him puppy because one day Shawn was in the kitchen getting me ice cream (cause he's great like that) and my dog started waking towards me so I said "whatcha doing puppy?" (of course talking to my dog) and I hear from the kitchen "I'm getting you ice cream!!" So from that day forward, Shawn became my puppy.
- Our first kiss was in my kitchen at like 2am, and it was very awkward. :p
- We went to the carnival one night and we walked there and back (because I wanted too) and we were with a group of friends. On our walk home we stopped at the canal in town just to hang out. Apparently that is bad and public safety came and gave us an ear full. (It doesn't help that Shawn was caught peeing in public! nasty.) It was hilarious anyways because we were doing nothing wrong. Anyway, that was the night Shawn asked me to be his girlfriend (kinda). After we got back to my house and our friends left Shawn and I were hanging out in the den and I asked him "are you ever going to ask me out?!" and he answered by asking "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" So I said "sure," which by the way he bugs me about ALL the time. He says "you said SURE" This was August 4th, 2011.
- We never had any "breaks" like a lot of couples now a days, but when we went back to school in September, I was an awkward girlfriend. I am so not one for PDA so I would always awkwardly give him a little kiss and a hug. That phase passed pretty quickly though. I'm not awkward anymore, but I still dislike PDA, I don't need to see that.
- We had a pretty typical relationship through high school. We went to prom together and made it through graduation. And the real fun started (as you all know) when Shawn decided he was going to join the Air Force.
- I was NOT a happy camper, to be honest, I tried to convince him out of it. It didn't work. He stuck with the commitment he had made to the recruiter and in November 2012, he was off to basic training, while I was stuck at St. Josephs College (BLECH).
- I worked at old navy and finished out a semester at St. Joes. My parents could have killed me when I gave up my full scholarship.
- 100 letters and two months later, Shawn graduated basic in January, 2013.
- I went with his parents and Grandma to his basic training graduation where Shawn asked me to marry him, (kinda). He didn't have a ring and we have already decided to get married through our many letter back and forth during basic. So on January 21st, Shawn gave me his dog tags which was our make shift engagement ring.
- Shawn stayed in Texas for tech school and what I consider the "real" proposal was the day he found out he was going to be stationed in Alaska. I got a text from Shawn saying "Alaska lol time to get married" romantic right? and Just a few weeks later I was off to Texas to make it official.
- We got married March 1st, 2013 in the Wichita Falls court house.
- Shawn came home in May and we had our ceremony on June, 9th. So, if you're keeping track, that is three anniversaries. August 4th (three years together next August) March 1st (one year in march!) and June 9th! and if you want to include January 21st, our engagement day (kinda). We are a couple of many anniversaries!
- Well, now we are here in Alaska as of June 20th. And not much has happened since my last update. Still waiting for some Christmas cards and Milo is still in the healing process for his leg! Oh! and Shawn won a surf board that I just got in the mail today! on our ceremony day (June 9th) Shawn entered a contest to win a jet ski when we stopped at shop rite before the wedding. Well, a few months later and he actually won a surfboard! That doesn't do us much use in Alaska... oh well! Maybe we'll trade it for a snow board ;)
| Christmas 2011, our first and so far only Christmas together! He was in basic last year so we will have to make up for that this year :) |
I was just very bored today but I hope you enjoyed reading my fun facts. I'm sure there are so many more that I can't think of right now, so if I do I will make a fun facts part dos! Until then, BYE!
Cute ;)
