Mike and I first met back in grade school when he was one of the new students of the 6th grade class. He quickly becasue friends with the more in-crowd and I quickly found myself with a new crush - he barely new I existed... so when he said he'd come to my 7th grade  Christmas party I felt like I the most important girl in my little school world. After 8th grade, we went our seperate ways  and my crush fizzled into a fond childhood memory...until 10 years later when social networking would reconnect us through the wonderful world of Facebook. Long chats online reminicing about grade school quickly turned into catching up on the years since over drinks. One Stanley Cup game (we both bleed black and orange for the Flyers), a life-long dream trip to California and countless unforgettable moments later, we knew it was the real thing- we were in love. Mike proposed to me on the beach in Stone Harbor, New Jersey on Thanksgiving morning- another moment I'll never forget.  We are now planning our wedding and I can finally say that I'm marrying my gradeschool crush - how many girls can say that??
