Alex and I met in high school. I was a senior and he was a junior, and we were both on student council and in the school play. We became fast friends. He was so funny, and we enjoyed goofing around and playing pranks on our teachers. A few months into our friendship I started going to his youth group with him. We would go to his house after school and do our homework, eat dinner with his family, then go to youth group. One night after youth group my dad came to pick me up and I told Alex bye. We hugged for the first time, and it's hard to even explain the feelings that washed over me as I was enveloped in Alex's arms. I wouldn't call it a spark, or even a tingle, but this flood of warmth that carried with it an amazing sense of peace and calm, and this deep knowing that: this is where I belong.
That feeling has never faded.
Happy 13th Anniversary, my love.
In your arms was where I was meant to be.
congrats!
