Our Story

this is my boyfriend husband, justin. his friends and everyone calls him jc, but i call him cj. :o) we've been together since April 29, 2001. He means everything in the world to me and more. I don't know what i'd do without him.

how we met. (originally written in 2001)
i met cj in health class in the beginning of my sophomore year(he was a freshman). i knew of him...but that was really it. then i didn't really see him 2nd semester of school because we didn't have health together anymore.. summer went by..and back to school we were. then in around october i met jc again and started to hang out with him a little bit. his cousin and i were good friends..so whenever i would go to town and talk to his cousin he would be there. so me and jc came pretty good friends and hung out quite a bit..then a dance in november came..and i went with a boy named josh. jc said when he seen us together (he didnt' go to the dance..but seen me and josh and a bunch of our friends all getting ready to go out to eat) he realized then that it just wasn't right for me to be with him. then around christmas time came..and me and jc hung out quite a bit then also..but january came...and for some reason jc and i didn't talk for about that whole month..we did have a computer class together though..and in february we started talking again. we talked everyday at school and so on and almost every nite on the phone. on 4/20/01 i skipped school and ended up getting caught...alot of stuff was going on..and i got my car takin away..so i moved outta my dads and into my moms house.. a friend of mine, kyle, was getting into some trouble with the cops..and jc came over..and stayed with me alot...just talking until late..then going home.... after about 2 weeks of him being over at my house straight...he decided to ask me out one night before he went home...he asked..i was shocked..and i said no. he got really hurt..and went home.. i felt so bad...so a few nites after that..me, jc, (yes he was still talking to me :o) ) and a bunch of our friends decided to go to the movies (we got in a fight, but we'll leave that part out) anyways...he came over to my house..that nite..and i wanted to just say "hey..i wanna go out." but i didn't know if he still wanted to or not...so since i was really shy around him about that sorta stuff then..i decided to write it in a little note. so i did...and when he left i gave it to him. *i know, it was cheesy* anyways...so when he got home he got online...and boom...he said "of course i still wanna go out." and he's been stuck with me every since. :o) but of course...we do have our ups and downs...and we do fight. but who doesn't? but we have our good days too ;o) hehe anyways..we pretty much act like were married... except for the whole living with eachother thing..but he's practically over here 24/7 so he might as well have his own room here. :o) but thats how we've came to be. and i'm pretty sure...5 or 6 years down the line... we'll still be together. :o)

On December 24, 2005 Justin asked me to marry him and of course I said yes. It's been two years now since we've been engaged and 7 years that we've been together...we've been thru alot together but in the end we knew we were meant to be together forever. We will finally be husband and wife on July 26, 2008. The last 7 years have been the best years of my life and I can't wait to finally marry him and be together forever.

I am now officially Mrs. Copeland. :o) It's funny reading thru this and actually now being his wife. hehe It's awesome. I always "knew" that we'd be married one day...i just can't believe it actually happened.. I can't wait years down the road to come back to this page and update it again with more of "our story."
