Our Story

I had a blog called The Journey that I used to document things going on in our lives before the wedding. I didn't keep up with it much after though so I decided to start a new blog. So here is a little background if you are new to my blog.

(Taken right from my old blog)

When Jesse (my husband) and I first met, he was 21 and I was 16. It was my first job, and the only thing I remember when I first saw him, was he had on these yellow and black shoes and thinking I wonder what it felt like to kiss him. Stupid I know, but I couldn't help it. After that day we flirted non-stop. He was always asking when I would go out with him and I would always joke around and say never.

In the summer of 2009 we had our first kiss in his driveway and it took him forever to finally ask me to be his girlfriend

On December 26, 2009 he finally asked me to be his girlfriend and I just couldn't say no, after that we were totally inseparable. New Year’s Eve was our first official date. He took me to hooters of all places! But it was probably one of the best dates I had ever been on. He was so funny, I spent most of the night laughing and just joking around with him.

On February 13, 2011 (my birthday) he gave me my promise ring for a birthday gift and I thought he was proposing then, but 4 months later I got my proposal.

On June 26, 2011, our 18 month anniversary he popped the question. He took me to olive garden for dinner and I didn’t think anything of it because it’s one of my favorite places to eat. When dinner was finished, he asked if I wanted dessert and I was so full I said no, but he ordered it anyway. When the waiter brought out our dessert and set it down, I went to grab my fork and I looked down at the plate and my engagement ring was sitting in the dessert. Somehow between the time we finished dinner and ordered dessert he gave the waiter my ring without me knowing it. He got down on one knee and said he loved me and wanted to spend forever with me.

On October 27, 2012 is the day we said “I do” it was one of the happiest days of my life. The past year has went by so fast I can hardly stand it, and it has brought lots of up’s and downs with it. So flash forward almost a year later, and we are planning our first anniversary together. So much has happened in the time between then and now. I will be posting some pictures from the wedding and updating everyone on stuff that has been going on. Trust me it’s been a lot!

So the longest ride is just a place for me to write about everyday nonsense (unfiltered sometimes and 100% honest) and our journey though our new life together.
