How I Met My Husband | OUR STORY

Can you spot me? I had then chubbiest checks in college!

Can you spot me? I had then chubbiest checks in college!

I’m sharing a very special piece of my life that I usually keep private. For those of you who don’t know I’m MARRIED :) I just don’t post about him that much because he’s lame. Here’s our story:

ONCE UPON A TIME … I was at hotel party with my sorority sisters ( YES! super embarrassing but I was a sorority girl) one of my friend’s boyfriend at the time brought his friends over. I remember that night vividly - I wore some tight Hollister jean shorts and a green halter top. My friends and I were chilling on the couch and this boy (a the time:) walks in with his yellow polo shirt. He introduced himself to me and the crew. WE WERE JUST KIDS THEN. I didn’t think anything of it … I mean would I ever really see him again?

BOY shortly after that I would see him often! My friend’s boyfriend would drive up to UC Santa Barbara and he would come along. They all told me he had A BIG FAT CRUSH on me and I avoided him at all cost because 1) I thought he was weird 2) I was young, single, free and wanted to explore the world. We kissed once out of pure drunken curiosity but that was the about it. Nothing happened and we never spoke about it again. I had a gut feeling that he would show up in my life in the future but I fought it hard. I lived my life partying it up in college, kissed lot of boys and experience life to the fullest. It was the best decision I ever made.

FAST FORWARD to post college he reached out to me on Facebook we started chatting again and went to dinner to catch up. I was dating a lot during this period of my life. I mean your girl had men on rotation. After our dinner I kiss him on the cheek to make him feel like he had a chance… when really I just wanted him on my roaster in case I got bored. OH BOY WAS THAT A HAPPY MISTAKE because flash forward 10 years I’m here stuck with HIM FOR LIFE!

… AND OUR JOURNEY BEGINS
