Rusty and I have known eachother since we were 10yrs old, going to school at Valverda Elementary in Maringouin, LA. We were friends all throughout high school at Livonia High. Rusty was the only person that my parents trusted letting me ride home with during our senior year of high school. Although we may have lost contact for a few years, when we reconnected on Facebook, we picked up as if we never lost touch. It was when Rusty came home to Louisiana for a short family visit that we "officially" started dating and making plans to live together. During Rusty's visit, he asked my dad (during a crawfish boil with my parents) what was his (my dad's) opinion of us living together. Once he moved home to Louisiana he wanted me to live with him. (After he and my dad played a joke on me) I learned that my dad had given Rusty his blessing for us to live together. It was July 2011 when I moved in with Rusty, in the parish that we both grew up in (Pointe Coupee). On December 23,2011 before going to my parents house, Rusty got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was completely caught off guard because he was "supposed" to propose when we were together with "both sides of our families" on Christmas Eve. Because I was so suprised and caught off guard, I didn't automatically say "Yes". My response was...."Are you serious"??? After realizing it wasn't a joke, I of course, said "YES", with tears coming from my eyes.   Rusty says that on his groom's cake....He's going to have "Are you serious"???
