Shane & I have known each other many years through mutual friends & because of the small community we grew up in together. We began dating in August of 2005 & started to become serious by the beginning of next summer. Shane has a daughter & once I met her that summer we knew we eventually wanted a family of our own but we have never been in a hurry to rush anything about our relationship. We dated for a few years before we started living together & experienced some hard times when we decided to take a break from one another. We were apart for over six months & started to realize life wasn't really the same without each other. We had been "rekindling" our relationship for almost a year when Shane completely surprised me with his proposal. All of our friends would always ask that question single people love to hear..."so when are you guys going to get married?" We knew that we wanted to eventually marry & have children & even discussed details about both, but when he did decide to ask I was completely surprised. I always thought I would be able to tell when it was coming or his behavior would change & tip me off but he was completely relaxed & left me speechless! I cannot wait to celebrate the start of our lives with friends & family in November 2011.
