It will be 9 years in April me and Shannon have been together. I am thankful for every year and every moment we have spent together. She is my true soul mate and Valentine. We have been through everything together. We've had our ups and downs, but we have made it through all the downs with smiles and love in our hearts for each other. She has made me the happiest person through these nine years.
I met her at Harding her freshman year through friends At the time she was seeing somebody, but that didn't stop me. In the summer after graduating I moved back home unsure of our relationship and what distance would do to it. All summer we racked up our parents phone bills, talking a long time each phone call. We just didn't know what to do!
So she called me one night and said she was coming up to see me in WV. I said that would be great. She spent the weekend with me at my parents house. We went to Pittsburgh and I showed her all over town. And then it was time for her to fly back. That was a bad day when she left. All week I thought only about her and racked my brain about moving to Arkansas. 3 weeks had passed and I just decided to move down there. I had about $600 saved from working that summer so I packed my car for a week to try and find me a job, I had no prospects for a job, didn't know anybody in Little Rock but my friend Scott who I was staying with.
So as time went on I was getting ready to head back home but just couldn't leave this beautiful girl. So finally I found a job with Home Depot and I'm still here today. She is the only reason worth staying here. 9 years later I am still captivated by her sweetness and beauty. I know I've stated my dismal love affair with Arkansas, but I couldn't not live with myself if I hadn't stayed with her. Shannon is the love of my life and she will always be. God moves in mysterious ways! Shannon I love you with all my heart, forever!
