Tent and I went to elementary, middle, and high school together.  Neither one of us can remember when we first met, but we were pretty good friends in high school.  After graduation, we went our separate ways.  We went to different schools and lost touch for four years.  Then, we both happened to be back in our hometown at the same time.  We started hanging out and became very close.  We both knew we were headed different directions in life, so we just decided to enjoy the time we had together.  Trent left to go back to school, and we started talking on the phone all the time.  We were in a long-distance relationship without really planning to be.  I started making the 8-hour drive every month or so to visit him, and he came back for breaks.  Eventually, I decided to apply for a couple of jobs near him.  A couple weeks later, I was hired!  I moved up to Montana, and we have been here ever since.  We have been together for about four years now.  Trent is out of school now, and working hard.  About a year and a half ago, we decided to get a puppy to keep me company when he is busy at work.  We ended up with our tiny little bichon frise, Cooper.  He is more my baby than a pet.  Three days before Valentine's Day, Trent and I were sitting in the living room in our PJ's, vegging like we normally do.  Then, he said, "I know we agreed not to get each other anything for Valentine's Day, but I got you something."  He proposed right then, and later explained he was too nervous and excited to wait until Valentine's Day.  He is my best friend in addition to being my fiance, and I can't wait to be his wife.
