Levi and I actually went to the same middle and high schools. I never noticed him, though, until my Junior year, when he had a class with my sister, Glenda. I walked in and saw him one day, but didn't pay much atention to him after that. Then, we ended up in the same chemistry class. He slept a lot, but whenever the teacher called on him, he knew the answer. That made an impression. One day, my partner and I didn't understand the lab we were attempting. I asked him to help, and from that day on we were friends. We were friends during school, and went to a lot of the same places that summer, but we weren't together. When school started my Senior year we didn't have any classes together, but we actually started hanging out a lot. We talked every night, and I spent a lot of time at the pizza restaurant where he worked. He became my best "boy" friend. On November 11, 1995 we went to Barnes & Noble and browsed. Then we went and had hot chocolate at a little coffee shop. We went back to my house and went to read in my bedroom. Then we kissed. I asked him to our school's holiday dance, and we've been together ever since. So, here we are. We've been together almost four years. We moved in together at the beginning of August, 1998. Levi proposed on September 5, 1998. We spent a little over a year planning our wedding, and we were married November 27, 1999. Back |
