About Me:

I'm an unofficial Texan living in San Antonio. Baking, working out, being crafty, and learning about web design are a few of my hobbies. I graduated with my B.A. in English in December of 2008 and currently work as an internet marketer. I have a huge crush on my best friend, Freesia Dude, and can't wait to marry him on May 30th, 2010. I'm loving life!

How We Met:

Freesia Dude and I met in World Literature, but really didn’t get to know each other until the semester after in our Advanced Grammar and Advanced Rhetoric classes. We’re total nerds and began dating by “studying” at small coffee shops and diagramming “I like you” notes to each other. Freesia Dude even got out of his comfort zone and went dancing with me at a ballroom in Temple :) I’m still working on getting him to dance more…. ;) After a ton of study dates and dinners for each other, we finally made our relationship official on April 17th, 2008. One of the best days of our lives!!

The Engagement Story:

All week long I was anticipating whatever Freesia Dude had up his sleeve. He had been telling me for a couple months that he was planning something fun for our anniversary. I was way excited, but was also very anxious to find out whatever it was. On April 17th, 2009, I drove to Belton after work. I had made him a scrapbook of our first year together. But then, I wasn’t allowed to open my gift. So I had a whole extra 24 hours to be anxious before I finally found out what it was. The next day, I was getting ready and knew we were going to Austin. At around 4, we drove to Georgetown to see Freesia Dude’s aunt. She wanted to take pictures for our “1st year anniversary”. (This should’ve been a huge hint to me…) Afterwards, we drove to Austin and I was busy pestering him with my guesses. As we drove through Austin, I saw the horse & carriages and thought we were going to do that… but no. I really had no clue, and then he gave me a huge hint and said we were going to the Hyatt hotel. As we got closer to the hotel, I saw that Town Lake was right next to the Hyatt, along with some way cool boats. I immediately guessed that, and all Freesia Dude could do was say “Maybe so… maybe not,” and smile. So we get to the Hyatt and walk through (of course!!) to where the boats were. Freesia Dude got a private boat with dinner (!!!) for us, which I thought was absolutely amazing. The people taught us how to navigate the boat and we were on our way :) Freesia Dude was trying to find the perfect spot (which was actually harder than it sounds) and I was preparing our plates. When he finally stopped the boat, we began to eat. About 10 or 15 minutes into our meal, he asked if I wanted to open my “other gift.” I was still eating and said “Oh no, I’ll wait until I’m done eating.” (Silly me) I finally finished my food and Freesia Dude got the green gift bag that held my gift. He pulled out a red box and I opened it. It was a beautiful necklace with a heart-shaped pendant on it. At first I thought it was simply that, but then I read it… “Will you marry me, Krista?” was on it. I looked up and he was holding a gorgeous diamond ring in his hand and asked me to marry him. I went through about 214234 “Oh my gosh”-es, and somewhere in there said yes (of course!!). I couldn’t stop smiling and kept hugging him. It was absolutely perfect and I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with him!!!
