The Story of Us
Yes, that's a movie title. And I like it.
So, Robert and I met back in freshman year of college. We were friends for a few months (I had a boyfriend when we met), and I spent a couple months just hanging out with him wondering when he would finally ask me out. He didn't, so I did. On Valentines Day--1999. Yup, do the math. That's right. We've had our ups and downs through the years. I think when you meet someone at 18, there is so much growth and maturing that needs to happen still, and it did. We weathered it all, and ended up here. We both finally felt we were ready for the next step. Then all I had to do was sit and wait for him to propose!
The Proposal
On September 6, 2008, we were at the UT v. UTEP football game in El Paso. After the first touchdown, Robert got down on one knee while Heather was distracted and made her turn around! Heather has no idea what Robert said cause she went in to shock and started crying.
The proposal was quite fitting (and a total surprise!). Robert is pretty good at planning things out and keeping them secret. I had no clue he was going to do this. He had me convinced he still hadn't even found a ring yet. Anyway, we are both huge Longhorn football fans. He was in the drumline at UT for 5 years, and for 4 years, I went to every single home game to watch him play (and the team, too, of course).
