Dreams Do Come True

I would have never thought the day to come. I remember as a little girl sitting in my room thinking of the day that I would get married. It was going to be to someone who I love very much and who would take care of me until the day I die. Well, on July 3rd, 2009, my boyfriend of over 5 years asked me to marry him. And now, all the planning and all of my dreams are going to come true.

I would like to first start out with how I met him. One of my friends, was "going out" with his friend. They had decided to introduce us, and we started talking on MSN Messenger. We spent several evenings talking to each other to get to know one another. After aboutma month of talking on the internet, we decided that we wanted to start calling one another so we exchanged phone numbers and started talking on the phone. Finally one day, we decided to met in person and we got together and everything felt perfect. It's amazing how one person can make you feel so full, so energetic, so happy. And the rest is in the books.

We moved in together about a year and a half into our relationship, and we are so happy. I mean, we have had our ups and downs, but we were able to get through the rough downs that I would have never dreamed of getting through. But that is what makes us stronger. We grew up together, since I was 16 and he was 18 when we met. Things are going great and we are getting through more rough times, as I am unemployed and his shop just laid off more employees. But we told each other that we can get through this and we are getting through this.

On June 27th, we left for our camping trip to go up north and to do the things that his family used to do each year. We went to the campground and set up our tent, got everything situated at the campsite and we really enjoyed our rainy week. We went all over the place, went on the ORV Trails with the Quads and went driving around looking at the beautiful trees and scenery. We had planned on going to the Tahquamenon Falls but we weren't for sure on which exact day we were going to go. The weather was touch and go, and we were watching for a good day online. Finally, July 3rd looked like it was going to be the best day for us. We left early in the morning and drove another two and half hours north and reached our destination. It was about 50 degrees outside and the mosquitoes were horrible! We walked up the trail to the first area and we looked at the beautiful lower waterfalls. We took several pictures and once we were done fighting with the massive amount of mosquitoes, we started walking further up the trail to see more of the lower falls. We got to the second look-out area and there wasn't as many people in this area as before. We stopped and was taking pictures of the falls, and I asked a gentleman to take a picture of the two of us for me and we got our picture taken in front of the falls. I was wanting to continue walking down the trails to see more of the lower falls and Jason wanted to wait, we held each other for a moment when he got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was the most special moment of my life. My dreams were coming true.

We spent the rest of our vacation with smiles on our faces and we began talking about when we wanted to get married. We haven't set a date yet, but we want to wait and pay off bills and save money for the wedding. Of course, I cannot wait, and I have been looking online at different ideas and getting everything in my head set so when we do set a date I will know everything. Slowly, I am going to start buying small things, like decorations and flowers so I won't be spending as much so fast. And of course, I am going to go out and try on wedding dresses, just because I can. And all the things that I dreamed of as a girl are slowly getting put together and I am picturing our wedding and I get butterflies in my stomach. Of course, I will update when we do get a date set. But until then, it's all in the works and slowly but surely it will all fall together just the way that I want them to!
