October 2011:
Thomas and I met while I was in my last and busiest semester of college and he was finishing up his last year of PT school. Needless to say, we were extremely busy, stressed, and focused on graduating! Within our first conversation together, we "hit if off" seamlessly. His big, green eyes were captivating (to say the least), and his heart for the Lord and his family was so incredibly attractive. After our first date at my FAVORITE restaurant, Bonefish Grill, we were inseparable. We were together every single second we weren't at work or sleeping! We were in love, and after about a month of "talking" we decided to take the next step and he asked me to be his girlfriend on Halloween night of 2011. Two weeks later, as crazy as it sounds, we were talking about marriage. I came home one night and told my mom I was going to marry Thomas. She was so excited, because she also felt a peace in her heart that Thomas was meant for me.

This was a VERY exciting day. Two of my friends that I love very much were getting married, David and Summer Orges. It was also the day that Thomas and I met his parents to tell them that we are in love and we wanted to get married. His parents were very happy and didn't doubt our decision for a second. After we got the reassuring peace and approval from his family, we were ready to get married as soon as possible.

This was by far the BEST day of my life at that time. Thomas Christopher Bruce asked me to be his wife forever. Up in the air, with about 12 mexicans, I nodded my head yes! It was incredible. A day I will NEVER forget! We saved the date on the church calendar, and began the wedding planning process!!!
