The Beginning

What better way to start off a blog like this than at the beginning?
In our case, the beginning was nearly 8 years ago.
Sean and I have gone to school together since middle school. We had some friends in common but didn't meet until 8th grade and didn't really talk much until late 9th grade/early 10th. In fact, the reason we met in 8th was because he almost dated my best friend and maid of honor. Funny how things work out.
We were in marching band together all four years of high school. Sophomore year our friend groups blended together more and Sean made it his mission to get me talking (I was a really shy kid). We sat together at a band festival, I invited him to a pirate party, and then there was the Christmas parade and a lot of awkward flirting.
Suffice it to say, I initially thought he was kind of weird. I talked to him anyway.
And we talked, and talked, and talked for nearly a week straight before our first "date." We had Chickfila and saw The Polar Express with my mom because I was 14 and supervised dates were law.
Later that night we made ourselves "official" and the rest, as they say, is history.
