Just Georgia : Best friend to Fiance`

It was a rainy day. Dreary, discouraging weather, really. My tummy was in knots.
Was my outfit ok? Were my jeans too ripped? Was the jacket too much?
I checked my phone probably a million times. Sorta praying there wouldn't be a text, sorta over eager for a text back. Today would be my first date with a boy I had briefly met in a mall almost six months earlier. We had talked over Snapchat and Instagram. I had never been this nervous in my life. His baseball game had run two hours over and his phone died. So I sat in the living room of my best friends house, alone, and waited for his red chevy to pull into the driveway.

Let me tell you. The moment I saw his cool smile, my heart dropped through the floor. Standing by his truck, messy baseball uniform, hands in his pockets. Its like the sun decided to come out just for him. Holy crap. What do I do??

That night, after meeting his entire family, and laughing the whole time (they are truly great people), he drove me home. We talked about the stars and the possibilities and tried to figure out if the other person wanted to go out again (even though we lived 5 hours apart and had no idea if it would actually work), and he stopped his truck, grabbed my hand, and told me he was going to marry me one day.

Yep. After one date. Our FIRST date.

It was my first date, ever. I just laughed at him and squeezed his hand and prayed to God that He knew what he was doing, because even if I wouldn't admit it, I really hoped that guy was going to marry me.

WELLL Two years later and here we are. Engaged. Future Mrs. William Edward Wisor

When Billy and I started talking, he was just a fun person to talk to. He called me every day after I got off work and he finished his sports. We talked until his little brother got off the bus and then we'd talk all night after we went to bed. Five hours apart, all odds against us. Two kids trying to giggle quietly while the houses were sleeping around us.

I'm sitting at the kitchen table, crying right now. You guys have read my blog. You know that school was never easy for me. I struggled with making friends. I spent so many nights, crying and begging God for a best friend. Just one, that would be my best friend forever. Who would stand beside me at my wedding (I was expecting him to bring me a girl best friend lol) and then all of a sudden, I legit ran into this guy, dancing like an idiot in a random mall in a town far away from my home town, on a youth group trip. He wound up going to school and even being in the same history class as my friend whos house I was staying at.

From that day forward, I had someone to talk to, someone to sing in the car, someone to share my secrets with and cry to. Someone I trusted, someone who trusted me and was just as loyal and dedicated to a friendship, as I was. Somewhere along the line, we fell n love and never looked back. Old Dominion concerts and days at the gym, movie dates and laser quest with him and his little brother, dinners at his parents house. We wrote letters while he was in boot camp, called each other nightly, even with a time difference. Saved all our cash and flew me down to Florida for his graduations. All the while, finding comfort in that no matter how many miles away we were from each other, we were seeing the same moon and stars. The same ones we had our first kiss under, the same stars we gazed at and talked about our future. The same stars we ran under during graduation night with his class. The same stars he asked me to marry him under, even if we couldn't see them.

We are young, both have growing up to do, and both of are almost aware of how huge of a change and choice this is. We have not set a wedding date, we don't know his deployment schedule. Hes still in Jacksonville finishing up school. I don't know when the next time I will see him is, all I know is that I look forward to his good morning texts and good night calls, even if all we get is 15 minutes before we both have something else we have to go do. I hope to spend the time I have left as Just Georgia, hanging out with my friends, my family, and spending time in my bible (I'M GOING TO CHILE IN LESS THAN 4 WEEKS GUYS!!!!!!!) and growing as much as I can, learning as much as I can, and soaking in this happy season of my life. <3 thank you guys for all your love and support!!
