Thankful Thursday

This Thursday, I am thankful for....

 DAVO!!!

I am so thankful for my wonderful boyfriend, David. We have literally been through it ALL and have made it through. We began dating in 10th grade when he was 15 and I was 16 years old.  He had just gotten his braces off and I was giddy/could not breathe when he asked for my phone number on an Instant Message on AOL. We had not known each other, despite going to the same school since Kindergarten. However, we hit it off almost immediately. He was the cutest/hottest guy I had ever seen, had such a funny personality and I remember thinking on our first date that he was the ONE!! Granted, most teenage girls think this about every guy they date, but I was so sure that I came home and told my mom "I will be with him forever!!!" Now, it hasn't exactly been forever, but 8 and a half years is a pretty long time!

We were both very involved in high school and practically participated in everything. After high school, things got a bit tricky. College is something that is not meant for high school relationships. We had a few rocky years, went through some challenging times, questioned whether or not we should even be together anymore, but thankfully we made it out of all that MESS!

I can truly say I am thankful for David because I cannot imagine my life without him in it. It is so special and rare to be with someone who you knew at such a young age. We always have a good time together and most of all, he makes me laugh!! Not to mention, there is never a dull moment with him around. He is always stirring something up, cracking jokes, and just being plain ol' David. He comes from a loving, sweet family and I love all of them as well!! I actually had Mrs. Gray as a teacher before I even knew David. It was just meant to be! I can't wait to see what the future hold for us!! :)

I love you to the moon!!!!
