How us lovebirds met!

How we met

I walked into my Business Statistics class just like any other first day of Spring Classes. I sat near the front, but then our professor informed us that we must sit alphabetical order by first name. Thinking that we aren't in elementary school anymore and that it was such a weird thing to have college students do, I moseyed my way to the back of the room trying to find the other "K"s. I found myself in what I thought  was the "K" line, and turned to the gentlemen next to me asking him what his first name was, just to make sure. The guy replied that his name was Matt. I then said, I was in the wrong line because my name did not start with a "M", but he insisted I was fine and that I was in the right line. He ended up sitting next to one another for the entire semester, since those ended up being our assigned seating. Time passes, and we take our first test. Now, if anyone knows me, math is not my friend!! I ended up failing the first test miserably (dad I swear I studied)!!!  I asked Matt what he got on the test we just took, he told me he got an A, and asked me what I got,  I laughed and said I failed (I didn't mention how horribly I failed though!!). This was actually the first real conversation we had. Before this, I tried very hard to talk to him, asking him how to do math problems, but he would just slide his paper over silently without saying anything to me. Being the friendly person I am, I was a little off put that this person seemed like he did not want to talk to me (that ended up not being the case, someone was just a little shy). Since, I failed the test he gave me his phone number and told me I could call him anytime so that we could study together. We ended up studying together at the library or Starbucks. Through studying so much together we became great friends. The class came to an end and it became Fall semester. I remember thinking that I was sad that I would not see Matthew every other day and that we would not be studying together anymore. But, our friendship surpassed just being Study Buddies, we hung out in the Fall as well and that is when our relationship turned into something more. We both secretly had crushes on one another, so everything just fell in to place! On the night of September 30th, he asked me to officially be his girlfriend. A month or two later, we told each other we loved one another, and 6 months later we took a leap of faith and moved into together. We have loved every second we have spent together for the past two years. We have laughed, cried, supported, cheered, fought, made up, traveled, moved, graduated, grew-up, and loved one another! So much so, on our Two year anniversary, Matthew asked me to be his Fiance!
