Once upon a time, (2010), there was a fun, hip girl, who took time out of her exciting glamorous life to have lunch with a very tired but happy new mom. At this lunch, this girl proceeded to tell this mom that she had recently started dating a boy who was kind, and sensitive, and had good values. This girl was excited to see where this relationship with the new boy would go. Fast forward to Fourth of July, 2011, and that same girl received a proposal from the "new" boy that she could not turn down.
My friend Alex is more like a little sister to me. She is the girl from my story above, and if you haven't already guessed it, I am the mom. We grew up living next door to each other, and even though she is six years younger than me, we have always managed to stay good friends (even when she rushed Phi Mu instead of my sorority ha ha). I have watched her break hearts, and I have seen the aftermath of her own heart breaks. When she first told me about Justin back at that lunch, I honestly didn't think much of it. I thought, he seems nice, but will probably be out of the picture in a few months. But instead, he has just become more of a constant support in her life. They are very real with each other, and very happy together, which you can tell in their photos. I am so excited for them and this next journey they are taking together!
Happy Engagement Alex and Justin!!
