"J"and I have known each other for a long time. In fact, we don't even remember how or when we met. Our families had been friends for what seemed like forever. His sister was my dog sitter. His mom was a co-worker. In the fall of 2008 we both found ourselves unattached and at the same local establishment. We started talking and exschanged phone numbers. Every once in a while we'd text each other wto see what the other one was up to, if they were going to be out on the weekend, etc. Not until early January did things start looking like there was more there than a friendship. Two days after "J's: birthday I got a message saying he needed to talk to me right away and asked me to stop at his house on my way home the next night. Not knowing what it was about, I brushed it off and didn't think anything about it. He proceeded to tell me that he wanted to see where things took us and what could happen between us. Little did I know that he has been sorting everything out in his head and with our friend "B" (who is now our matron of honor). Fourteen months later....and on tax day..... "J" got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife....a moment I will never ever ever forget.
