Travis and I met about 5 years ago during my freshman year of high school and his junior year on a band trip to St. Louis (yes, go ahead and laugh with the "that one time at band camp" jokes!) and became really good friends. I was dating someone else at the time so our relationship remained on a friends-only basis with the occasional text message to one another. Well, needless to say, I wasn't very happy with the relationship that I was in and Travis and I became closer so I ended it. Soon after, Travis and I started talking much more frequently. One day, we went on a walk at his neighborhood park, where he took me to the gazebo and asked me to be his girlfriend! Little did I know that by saying "yes" it would turn into much more than a high school relationship... I had said yes to my life partner.
We had a blast in high school together but then he graduated and I was left behind... He got accepted into a wonderful college and I was so incredibly proud of him but was also very nervous of all of the unknowns. I remember I was so upset because he used to take me to school and we would get coffee (I couldn't drive at the time) and now my whole routine was about to change. Not only that but I was nervous that our relationship wouldn't make it... What if he started liking a college girl? What if we never saw each other? What if... What if... What if??? All of these questions preoccupied my thoughts but my gut told me that we could make it. If we could make it through this, we could make it through anything! Yes, there have been some obstacles that we've been put through but we're still going... He has about one more year of college left and I have about a year and a half of community college and then we can really start our lives together.
I constantly wish that we could be together all the time. I'm thankful that I get to see him once or twice a month but I would love to be with him 24/7. It's crazy to say but I KNOW that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him. He's my Prince Charming. He's funny, crazy, amazing, sweet, always there for me, gives the best advice, positive, handsome, creative, ambitious... Everything I've always wanted! I LOVE his family... Oh my goodness, words can't even describe. They are my second family and are the most amazing people in this world!!! They are always there for me and always find fun, crazy things to do! His parents call me their daughter, his sister is my sister, and all of his family members have accepted me as one of their own. I am so thankful and blessed that I will some day be officially a part of that family <3
We have been in a relationship for 4 years now and are still counting!!! He is the best thing that has ever happened to me... Cheesy but true. He is my best friend and soul mate. I LOVE YOU, TRAVIS!!!
