How we got engaged..aw

So Taylor and I have known each other since we were in 4th and 5th grades. I'm a year older (so naturally I'm wiser, lol). He was the most annoying kid I had ever laid eyes on, I couldn't stand him. We met at our church, Hephzibah, in Troy, AL. We were in the same Sunday school class, the same Wednesday night group, and eventually the same youth group. We were in musicals together and church dramas, but that kid drove me crazy. When we got to high school, yes I'm skipping middle school, because no one wants to relive those days, we became actual friends.

I started watching Taylor grow. We started hanging out in groups almost every weekend. He still drove me crazy, but I didn't mind being around him for small amounts of time. We pretty much did everything together.

When I started driving I took him and our friends everywhere!! I was the oldest in our group, so naturally I drove everyone. He would always sit in the back and randomly say, "I love you." As we got a little older I thought it was a joke, so I'd always say, "I love you, too Taylor, as my brother in Christ." Taylor hated it, but I didn't realize it.

All of our friends talked about how were going to date one day and I was absolutely mortified at that statement, (Sorry T, I love you now). I would always say "No, we will NEVER date, Taylor is my friend, and that's it." Little did I know God had different plans.

We continued hanging out for a few years, and he even had a girlfriend at one point. I started getting this weird feeling that I liked him.

I was 21 almost 22 when all of these "I love you Kristin" messages started really creeping in my mind. I thought about how we hung out all of the time and how I would pretend to not like him.

One night we were hanging out and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. God thought it would be funny.

Taylor and I started dating on December 5, 2010. The craziest time of my life. I'll never forget it.

We dated for three years and became the best of friends.  We have the best relationship because we just like to hang out together. We have so much fun. We grow in Christ together, we love each other and we love sharing our faith with others.

When you get to stand beside the one God has chosen for you as your life partner and you get to worship God together, it's an awesome feeling.

So we began looking at rings for real, in early 2013. I found some that I liked but not the one.

On October 12, 2013, we went and looked at rings and I found one that I loved. Little did I know Mr. Daughtry would be getting a ring just like that soon.

On November 8, 2013 he took me to the first place we met, the church. He took me out to the spot where he asked me to date him, and underneath the stars and God he asked me to marry him. I of course said yes and I can't wait!! November 22nd needs to HURRY!
