Jill

We met when we were in grade school and he tried his best to get me to be his girlfriend! (ha!) Finally after highschool I decided to give it a try, but was too young to know what I was doing. Our courtship ended after 4 short months, but through our friendship I gained a best friend - and no I don't mean FH, I mean HIS childhood friend is MY best friend! =) Long story short, we kept in touch from the age of 18 to 27 through our mutual friend and eventually we decided to meet up and have lunch. After that lunch, we had no intentions of meeting up again, but as luck would have it, our mutual friend scheduled a hiking trip that would rekindle the flame that ignited when we were just kids. We started dating again and 2 years later, in true "fighter" form (he's a Western Boxer and I'm a Thai Boxer), the day he proposed is the day we had spent all morning sparring and training! (LOL). He was on bended knee and I could not have been any happier! Who would have thought that my future husband and I would meet at the age of 12, blossom as individuals, and reconnect years later to continue life's journey? I'm pretty freakin' lucky!
