History

As promised, here's the story about WHY this has been a real-life fairy tale.  Three years ago I became a 4th grade teacher at Sandersville, which is where I met him.  We both had other things going on in our lives and it wasn't until the winter of 2011 when things started to shift a little.  I don't know exactly when it happened, but suddenly he wasn't just Mr. Lynch from down the hall.  He was Josh, this really funny guy who I loved being around.  I started to put more time into picking out my outfits in the mornings and I would get kind of excited when I realized it was time for him to come in and collaborate in my science class.  It was like a force of nature when it hit me--I want to spend every second with this guy!  I couldn't wipe the smile off my face--and I LOVED it.  It was what I had wanted for so long, and there he'd been, right under my nose!  Well, actually, way above my nose since he's 6'8, but you know where I'm trying to go.

Fast forward one amazing year later and we're getting MARRIED!!! I honestly never thought I would find such a wonderful, kind, funny, thoughtful, caring person--and I definitely don't think I deserve him.  I wake up every day and my heart just smiles knowing he's mine.  Hope I haven't bored you with all the details but if you're going to follow my blog, I just thought you should know a little about me.  I'll share our engagement story soon--it's a good one!

According to Merriam Webster, the definition of a fairy tale is "a story in which improbable events lead to a happy ending."  Even though I don't know the ending yet, it's been a ridiculously great ride so far and my fingers are crossed it just keeps getting better!
