WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!

So, here's the story so far that is still being written as the days go by...

We have two main characters.... Nick Petrie and Amanda Kirkland.

We met each other randomly at a pumpkin carving activty, and by all means, we didn't plan on it this way. But, but some means of a miracle... we met each other at just the perfect timing for both of us. We met each other on October 1st. We knew the day that we met that there was something special about the other person, but niether one of us wanted to admit that we liked each other more than a friend. I went around telling people that I met this girl who was really attractive and someone who I just clicked with. And, she did about the same. So, one day, we thought we'd get together and went bowling with my family. It just happened like that and my dad offered to pay. And, no offense, he's a very big cheapstake and doesn't really like spending money, but he offered to pay for us. That night, we decided to date. As the days went by, we knew within a week, that we'd be spending the rest of our lives together. Some may think that's crazy to come to that conclussion when only dating for a week.... but we tend to disagree. The way we look at it, once you know, what else matters?

As time went on, I found a really nice ring and we worked it out to be able to go to Vermont to see the Christmas lighting at the Joesph Smith Memorial. Some of us had to sacrifice time throughout the week and work horrible hours and days.... but it was all worth it and we had a very enjoyable time, one that we will always rememer. We took a long walk into the snowy woods that day in Vermont and on our way back to the car, I found this one and only place in the whole woods that didn't have snow at all and the ground was dry. So, I thought that it would be a great place to get down on one knee and ask this beautiful young lady to marry me. She didn't even look at the ring at first, she literally just put her hands on her mouth and started to cry and then just hugged me forever while I was still on my knees. I don't think we'll ever forget that moment. That was the day after thanksgiving. And since then, we've managed to find ways to see each other on average 3-4 times a week. Even with living 45 minutes aways from each other. Everything is literally coming together very smoothly for our wedding. It's crazy for us to not have anything go wrong. For both of us, this is also the longest we've both been happy in a long time.

So, let us be the first to say.... WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!
