At first sight

Okay before I post all about the wonderful engagement that has made me the happiest girl in the whole entire world...I must tell you guys where this love story began. 

    Once upon a time there lived a young girl of the age of 16 who had been searching for her prince  charming ever since she was a little girl. She had two older sisters who she had watched them meet their prince, fall in love with their prince, and one sister had even married her prince. She so desperately wanted a prince that everywhere she went  she wondered where he could be. One night in the 9th grade her friends invited her to a high school football game, it was such a cold nasty night sitting on those meridian high bleachers, but what bothered her even more was this really tall guy who had knees that pressed against her back who was sitting directly behind her. Little did she know that nearly two years from then, that tall guy sitting behind her would just so happen be the one that she had been looking for. He even noticed her because of her really long her and the memory of her pulling her hair down for her friends and pulling out exactly 21
(his baseball number)
bobby pins out of her hair. Little did he know that that was his princess that he had been searching for. They left that night going back to their normal lives, having no clue that that night was the beginning of a beautiful love story.  She later came to realize that the Lord had her prince just waiting on His perfect timing to find her. She then gave up her search for her prince and let the Lord lead in her life. She knew that she would not be able to find her prince in her own strength....She had to give this to the Lord. So, she did and can you guess what happened? Cha ching...She found her prince! OR more like, He found her! 
   It was on a cold feburary night.....the 19th to be exact. It was a youth volleyball night at her maw maw's church where her sister's prince charming was the youth minister.  She had been planning on going somewhere else that Friday night, but somehow she ended up there. She had just came from softball practice, no make up, sweat pants, sweat shirt, and hair in a messy bun...she had no idea that her life was about to change. As she was playing volleyball from the corner of her eye she sees this tall, handsome, green eyed guy  with an adorable smile walk through the doors. She lost all concentration of the game and their eyes locked,  mesmerized by each other they couldn't stop staring into each other's eyes. I guess you can say it was love at first sight. Well before she had a chance to catch her breath, her beloved sister,Lydia, ran up to the green eyed guy ( Lydia actually knew him through her prince, Marcus ) and said "you have to date my sister, she's pretty, sweet, and she's godly". She could have died! She was standing only three steps away while her sister told that to the guy that she had already fallen for, but little did she know that that was only the beginning of a beautiful love story. The volleyball night went on as a normal night for everyone else, except the green eyed prince and the princess. She went to sit down for the devotional that was given that night and somehow her green eyed prince sat down beside her. She was so excited but yet so nervous at the same time! She noticed how large his feet were and before she even realized what was coming out of her mouth, she told her prince " wow, you have huge feet'! and those were the first words that she ever said to her prince charming that she had been dying to speak to all night. She wanted to run away, but she stood her ground hoping and PRAYING that he would love her anyway despite her outspokenness, little did she know that that was the beginning of a beautiful love story. The night went on and her green eyed prince would follow her around but never would speak to her. She started to get worried, and even got discouraged thinking how in the world would a guy like him like a girl like me. He was the most popular guy in his grade, star on his baseball team, and such a hunk!  This guy was practically perfect...she was just a girl...she thought to herself, "he could have anyone, why would he want me"? Little did she know that her green eyed prince was thinking the same thing about himself. The night ended but they never stopped thinking about each other. That night was the beginning of their love story. They fell in love at first sight and they knew that somehow, someway they had to be together. 
   The next day, she was getting ready for a lead out (a high school sorority thing), getting all dressed up, she just had a feeling that her prince would be there. She sat down in the red velvet chairs at the theater scanning the whole room hoping that he would appear. The lead out started and the lights went off and all the beautiful girls with the pretty dresses started walking out on stage, but then she heard a noise...it sounded like a door open...could it be? Her prince charming?! The exit light on the door brightened up and there walked in her green eyed prince. He didn't see her but she saw him. She couldn't wait for the lead out to end so she could find her prince, but the crowd was unbelievably packed, every step she took there was someone in her way, but then there he was.....handsome as ever. She got this nervous pit in her stomach but she gained the strength to tap his back and say hello, she gazed into his eyes and his eyes gazed back into hers. Fate you may call it? Who knows ;)
