the beginning...

Before today, my story begins...I was raised in Germany, with my sister, she was older and my mom was our hero. When I was 10 or so the three of us made our jounry to the USA. We liked it and stayed. We grew up and I attended Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi, Texas. Thats when the story gets good. College life was the best, thats where I meet Gabriel, Gabe. I meet Gabe at institute September of 04. We became friends, when I started to become active in the institute. Before I realized, the year was over and it was Spring time. Gabe and I became better friends and then it was summer. Summer of 2005 I left to go to New Mexico and spend some time with Amber. Amber is my best friend, I meet her at church in San Antonio, during my high school years. She was my YW Leader. Shes married to Jake, whos pretty cool himself and they have 3 kids... The twins, Nedra and Mitchell (Seven now) and Clare (almost two). Jakes in the military, Air Force, and they were getting re-stationed, and I was going with Amber and the kids, while Jake had to finish up stuff in Texas. So summer of 05 was spent in Edgewood, New Mexico, getting a new house all ready for living. As the summer came to an end, it was time to go back to Corpus Christi for school. I was excited to go back and have "college life." I had established a social group now in Corpus and started to really love life. Gabe and I were both called in the presidency of the institute, and we became even better friends. Gabe had made a new friend through some missionary work and Juan then joined the group. The three of us had a great time fall 05 through fall 06. The three of us spent everyday together, until Juan moved to Mission, TX to be with his family. Leaving Gabe and I behind in Corpus Christi, still spending daily time together, lead to Gabe and I officially dating on June 4, 2006. The end of 2006 was amazing. I was happy, being with Gabe. We had a great social group full of friends that we loved. As the year was comming to an end, things were really great, but I dont think I was ready for what was comming in 2007.
