So today, I wrote up a lil something that's going on the wedding site for Bec and I, aaaaaand since I've been ignoring all of you for so long, I wanted to share it with you first.
--------
This is the story of how Becca and I fell in love. I was sitting in my dorm room, playing xbox
with my brother, when I saw I had a new message on Myspace from a Rebecca
Mitton. “Rebecca Mitton, Rebecca Mitton,
where do I know that name from?? Oh
yea! Becca!” Becca was a girl I had known a few years
before, so we started talking over Myspace, and then Facebook. Me and my friends were going to Minneapolis
for a Minnesota Wild hockey game and I figured it would be really nice to meet
up and catch up with Becca while we were down there. So we met up at the Buffalo Wild Wings in the
Har Mar Mall, and had a very nice, energetic meal with my friends and Becca…she
remembers that meal very differently, however, I’ll let her tell that story
since I don’t believe it.
Luckily, she continued to speak to me and when I went back
to the cities I invited her to the Twins game with me for our very first
date. Again, she says I tricked her into
going, but that’s crazy talk. And from
there, or sometime after that, our dating relationship had begun. We continued our relationship and, regardless
of the 427 miles that stood between us, were able to see each other quite
often. Nearly every night, I would go to
my room and talk to her on the phone from about 11:00 to 12:30 or 2:00. Because of all those stupid miles, I got to
know Becca very well. I got to hear her
many stories from growing up, like when her brother about passed out because he
thought his Dad got shot, and the time they went to Dairy Queen because nobody
was going to sleep at Trout Lake Camp.
These stories I heard a lot…she’s a repeater.
Rebecca is the most caring, joyful woman I have ever met. Every single time I’m in the same room as
her, there is an excitement that simply exudes from her. Becca always has a smile on her face, and
yes, it’s one that makes you melt. She
is the most passionate person I have ever met, everything she does is all
out. She LOVES to laugh and LOVES to
play, which bodes well for her as a Junior High youth pastor. I tell her very often that she is in the
perfect job because of the way she is able to relate to Jr. Hi. Kids, because
she is a Jr. Hi. Kid.
One day, I found tickets to the Minnesota Wild/Colorado
Avalanche game, so we went. Then we went
to the 5/8 Club, a restaurant we LOVE (Juicy Lucy’s!!!). Then I “got lost” on the way back and ran
into the sculpture gardens (yea with the spoon). We got out, walked around and talked about
the day I fell in love.
I had this whole
speech figured out, and became so stinkin nervous that I forgot everything…so
we walked around some more while I tried to remember. I still couldn’t remember, so we walked
around some more, and more, and more, and more, and more. It was getting super cold so we started
heading back to the car. I said, “Oh,
wait, I forgot something,” Rebecca turned around and I was on my knee with a
ring. My heart was just going insane,
and I spurted out something like I’ve loved you since the last time we were
here and I want love you for the rest of my life…will you marry me? She said yes by the way. And now, we’re nearing the day that we will
be joined for the rest of our lives. As
cliché as it sounds, I couldn’t be happier that I’ve found and am able to spend
the rest of my life with my best friend.
Sorry I've been ignoring you for over a month...I've been busy, forgot to write, or didn't really have much to say....I dunno, but I'll do better, I promise.
