Tim and I met in elementry school. I will admit I had a little crush on little Timmy Buckner (well all the girls did but still). As a school we went to Echo Hill. It was there that Tim first stole a little piece of my heart. He tried to pick me a lilly after we were told that we couldnt touch/pick any flowers. It was 5th grade when Timmy Buckner moved away.
Life went on with its ups and downs some bigger than others. Little did Tim or I know that one wonderful friend and one social media outlet would change our lives forever. Now my mom had always told me not to chase anyone.... but how was Tim to chase me if he didnt know I was in the race? So I messaged him on facebook... After mesaging back and forth he asked me if I would like to meet him for lunch... I said yes!

Our first date! We went to lunch laughed, talked, told the cliff hangers version of our stories and I think somehow knew this was something special. We sat on a bench looking over the water. We both had an appreciation, love and connection to water. As we sat on the bench talking about so much of ourselves we also shared our first kiss/kisses.... After quite a few dates, Tim asked me to go to the ocean with him for a weekend..... I said yes! (there is a pattern).

We drove down spent a great day on the beach. Tim bodyboarding and me ankle deep in water butt in the sand and a good book. After all day at the beach we got cleaned up and started toward my favorite resturant. After dinner we went to walk the beach again before going dancing. As we walked along I reached down and found a full seashell spiral tail and all. With the shell in my hand, sand and water rolling over our feet... Tim turned me and asked.... "Will you be my girlfriend?'... You guessed it...
Now here we are 4 amazing years later. Life has still went on and has still had its ups and downs but now we get through them together! We have been blessed with two beautiful furry rescue babies. Our kittens Luna and Franklin. They are excited Mommy will now be a Buckner too. We are so happy to be starting another chapter in our life as husband and wife. We thank all of our family and friends for being apart of our story and giving us so much support and love. |
