We're in love... haha. What more can be said...
Rachel--I guess I can just tell ya some stuff about myself and let Scott fill out some stuff about himself. Let me see, instead of giving ya'll my life-story, I'll just focus on the "recent" stuff. haha. Hmm as far as exciting stuff happening in my life... aside from Scott happening (and he is my life) the only other claim to fame I have is that I was "Prom Queen" my Senior year of high school. And I bet you can't guess who my sexy date was. haha. Then I graduated in May 2005. That was a longggg awaited day. :) I'm currently in my first year of nursing (LPN), second year of college. I have one more year after this and then I'll be an RN! Yea me!!! :) So I'm a full-time Nursing student and I work two part time jobs. (I'm considering getting a third) I work at JCPenneys (gotta love that) and Bickford Cottage--Assisted Living. It keeps me pretty busy. As far as my background goes and all, I'm one of those tongue-talking, holyroller Pentecostals. haha. Thank you Jesus! I play the piano and the drums. And the last thing I guess I can say about myself, and by far the best thing about me is that I have the love of a man named Scott. He's everything to me and I love him with everything I am and everything I'm not. He's the laughter of my soul and the beat of my heart. I'm so blessed to have him in my life.
Scott----My turn, ;p I'm Scott the man who fell head over heels for this beautiful lady, the sun that lights my mornings, the color of my life, Rachel. I am an Airman in the US Air Force, I recently graduated technical training in San Antonio, Texas and arrived at Whiteman AFB, Missouri in August. I’m a federal cop, and I guard some of the nation’s top resources. I like what I do, but it keeps me far away from what I love most of all, Rachel Ann. I only have 3 and ½ years to go and then I plan on finishing my certificate in Radiology in the civilian world. I too am an apostolic Pentecostal, I grew up loving Jesus and because of that He created Rachel for me. I have found that it isn’t by my love alone that I love Rachel, but Him through me allows a much deeper love that surpassed any dream I could dream and any emotion I could fathom. I have many goals in life, but only 3 are priority all others are inconsequential, and those 3 are: To love my creator and savior, Jesus, to love Rachel deeper everyday and build upon our life through God, and to love my future children as though they are the very oxygen that gives me life. I know that I am blessed in life, and I pray that God helps Rachel and me count each blessing through our beautiful life.

Scott and I first "met" at a church lock-in. A girl I was friends with had a friend that was talking to Scott. They had been emailing each other and I got to be the lucky one to ask this Prince Charming if he liked this other girl. Needless to say, nothing became of them two. The day we actually "met" was August 19, 2002. It was another church lock-in. I first noticed Scott sitting over in a corner reading his Bible. There was something so special about him sitting there dedicating himself to read his Bible. I walked away and decided not to interrupt him. Because I had barely talked to him our previous encounter I wasn't sure how I knew him. I thought he was one of the guests at my cousin's wedding a few weeks prior. When he had finished reading his Bible, I approached him and asked if he knew my cousin. Well turned out he didn't and until later on in our relationship we didn't realize we had "met" before through me asking him about another girl. :) I hung around him the rest of the night. Before the night was over we exchanged email addresses and phone numbers. Our ages weren't discussed right away and he thought I was like 12 or 13. haha. In fact, in one of his first few emails to me he explained to me that he didn't want a relationship with anyone at the present time. At first I was taken aback by this because I figured that it was his way of indirectly saying there wasn't going to be anything between us. I knew I wanted him in my life so I opted to be his friend. Over the next couple months our friendship grew. He was always there for me and I knew I loved him from the very beginning. One day he decided to ask me if I would go to 6 Flags with him and his youth group. So on October 19, 2002, exactly 2 months after meeting, we got to be together again. We spent the whole day together, going through the haunted house, riding all the rollercoasters, EVERYTHING! I had a blast! Finally as we were getting ready to leave 6 Flags, Scott stopped and asked me something I’ll never forget. Instead of the usual “will you go out with me” I got “will you be my girlfriend”. I decided to give him somewhat of a hard time so I asked him if I could think about it. Haha. I let him suffer for a couple seconds and then told him “of course”. Everything else is history!
I remember the first time I saw Rachel, I was young and stupid as we all were, well maybe it was just me, lol. I had been talking to a girl, and thought that I liked her. Rachel approached me and did the whole “do you like Kayla?” thing and all. It’s true, I did think Rach was 12 or 13 she was only 4-11 I mean come on. Lol. Anyway, I saw her again at the other lock-in and really couldn’t remember where I saw her before either. I thought she was cute, but couldn’t quite bring myself to talk to her, I still thought she was too young for me. We started to talk and I was happy to hear that she was in fact 15, I got her email and phone number. On the ride home my friend Michael and I were talking and I mentioned that I liked Rachel and that became the whole conversation home. Lol. She and I talked and I began to like her even more, so I asked her to go on a youth outing with me. I saw her for the first time after the lock-in when we picked her up on the way to Six Flags. I had forgotten how cute she was; she stepped out of her care in a long jean skirt (notorious for Rachel, hehe) and a baby blue hoodie. I was breathless. Aside from me being beyond nervous the whole time at the park I had an awesome time. I tried to ask her many times to be my girlfriend, but froze each time. At the end of the day I was itching to ask and finally I did. She was a little brat though, lol, jk and stalled and asked if she could think about it. I almost had a nervous breakdown. Lol. She quickly said yes and sent an overwhelming happiness through me. On the ride home she fell asleep holding my arm, I can still feel her warm, light breathing on my hand to this day. The rest as Rachel said is history.

I said yes... lol... Don't worry... I'll include all the "juicy" details when I have more time.
I got this one, Rach ;p The proposal....
I always knew I wanted to marry Rachel, the day at Six Flags I knew and after getting off the plane from graduating technical school I knew that I had to. It was an awesome week, I was craving to see her again and didn’t expect to any time soon, but she surprised me at the airport and I fell in love with her once again. She stayed with me off and on the 10 days I was back and each day I fell into a deeper love than ever before. I knew that we were meant to be, so I began to think of how I was going to ask. I wasn’t nervous, I knew she wanted marriage as much as I did, but I wanted it to be perfect. The day I decided to ask I took her out to lunch and while we where eating I asked Rachel what she wanted to do, and like always she said “I don’t care, anything,” Roger that I thought and told her I had an idea. I wouldn’t tell her that I was going to take her to look at wedding rings. When we got to the mall I told her that I wanted to see what kind of ring she liked for future reference. She found one she kind of liked, but it wasn’t the “one.” We went to another place and in no time at all she fell in love with the “one.” ;) the stone looked horrible I thought, it was ¼ karat and the quality was drag, so we pick out a better and bigger one. I wanted nothing short of perfect for her, after all it’s what she deserves. All in all she thought it was just for future reference. Hehe. I then took her to the park and we walked and I pushed her on the swing, as we walked back to the car I stopped her on a small staircase in a flower garden. We kissed and hugged and then I said “there are things in my life I’m not sure of.” I think it scared her a little when I said it, but then I continued and said “but one thing I am sure of is this” I knelt down and asked “will you be my wife?” it was followed by “ are you serious?” lol. And immediately she said yes.
The next day my family and Rachel and I were all sitting at home, my dad and I decided to go get “dessert” for everyone, we really went and bought the ring. When we got back we passed ice cream out, and once everyone was eating I asked Rachel if I could tell everyone the news. She said yes and I took the ring and hid it in my hand. I began to reenact the evening. I got to the point where I got down on my knee beside her eating her ice cream and I said “will you be my wife” the whole time she thought I was just reenacting, but realized that I was re-purposing when I opened the ring box. Her reaction was priceless and beautiful beyond words. And that’s how it happened.
