The Best 5 years!

So this day 5 years ago I was feeling a bit nervous, and very excited. I was about to begin sharing my life with the most amazing man. Tory and were married this day 5years ago. So for my own reasons I thought I would share how we met and I fell head over heals in love. I know it's kinda mushy but I can't help it.

So I was going over to a friend's house to hang out one night (yes, a male friend) and He said that another friend was coming over to hang out as well. When he got out of the car I was taken aback mostly by how tall he was but also how cute he was and still is. So I talked to him some that night.

I didn't talk to him for a few weeks then I talked to him again at my friend's house and he was so nice. I thought to myself when I left wow he is sweet and cute.

Then I didn't see him again for a few weeks until I had to go to Home Depot to get more paint. I was painting my room at my parent's house and ran out of paint. So i I went to get more looking not very cute, I was covered in paint. Well Tory worked at Home Depot and he was helping another customer on the paint isle. He casually asked me for my phone number and I of course gave it to him.

We went out a couple of times and he was such a gentleman, and sweet. He came over to meet my parents and would come over and hang out on the back patio and just talk with me and my Mom. He again casually asked me one night if I would be his girlfriend(it was really cute).

So then we went to Statesboro for the weekend. Tory's youngest brother was a student there so we went to watch the football game on Saturday. One night we were sitting in his brother's apartment and he again casually said to me that he had a problem. I instantly became nervous because I really liked Tory and was falling for him already. Well he told me that his problem was that he was falling for me. I told him that it was okay because i was falling for him as well.

The next month we went to Atlanta to visit my best friend. We all went out to dinner and then to buckhead. That night Tory asked my what would I do if he asked me to marry him. My response was "HUH?!" He then asked me to marry him. I casually said Sure. But the rule was that we couldn't tell anyone until he made it official.

The month a few weeks before Christmas we went to Dinner with a group of friends. I was already to go because one friend was being very obnoxious due to him having a little to much to drink. So when the waitress asked if we wanted any desert or a glass of wine. I said No because I was ready to Go. Tory told the waitress that we would all have a glass of wine. When the waitress brought out the drink I noticed that my glass was different from everyone else's. And Tory was giving me this stupid looking grin. So I went to take a sip and that I noticed the RING tied by a ribbon to the stem of the glass. I looked up at him and said " I know you didn't". He took the ring off came around to where I was sitting got on one knee and asked me to marry him. i of course said yes.

We dated for 3 months when he asked me to marry him. When you know you just know. Tory is more that just my husband, he is my best friend and I am so very blessed to share my life with such an amazing person. I love him more today than I did 5 years ago. He continues to do big and little things daily that make me fall in love with him all over again everyday.

I know this is really sappy but I recently realized how much I love him when he was in the hospital for 9 days because his right lung partially collapsed. I was so scared for him because I couldn't do anything to help him ease his pain when he was hurting after the surgery. I am so thankful that he is better now.

And today is our 5 year anniversary. We went to Gaitlinburg a couple of weeks ago to celebrate our anniversary and to have a honeymoon(we didn't take one when we got married). So I just wanted to tell our story because it is kinda funny how it only took 3 months for me to realize that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with such a terrific man that at times drives me crazy but for the most part is a kind, supportive, makes me laugh when I am upset, loving man.
