baby it's you. love u forever

Shawn Michael Murray Lantz. I love the way those four words dance on my lips. Every
time I say those words I'm reminded of the day that I met him. Tuesday September 4,
2006 was the first day of college life. I remember walking into the math classroom
and there they were: the most beautiful pair of baby blues I had ever seen in my
life, were staring right back at me. I was so engulfed in those eyes that I
completely forgot that the professor was speaking to me. I was sort of listening to
her and then again I wasn't. All I was concentrating on were those baby blues. And I
never forgot them all through the day too. My mom kept asking me numerous times "Well
what does he look like?", and all I could say was "I have no idea except that he has
blue eyes". Well I have to say this went on for about a week until the day came when
I FINALLY got up the nerve to talk to him for the first time. Normal people usually
say something along the lines of "hi" or "how are you" right??? Haha!! My first words
were...well let me back up here. All through the entire week I was trying really hard to get up my guts to say something to this kid who at the moment, was sitting in front of me. Every day leading up to this moment I had made up these little dialogs about how our conversation would go. Now according to him I "busted my way through" and caught up with him. Ok now where was I??? Oh yes. My first words were "how do you
spell your name?". Just like that! No "hi" or "whats up"...but no!!! I had to ask how
he spelled his name!!! I was so horrified!! But at least when he answered he didn't
seem taken aback by what I said. That was a good sign. Once I decided to walk to him
to one of his classes and then I surprised him by greeting him when he was through
for the day and I walked him to Bldg1. He and I were sitting on the bench outside and
when his mom pulled I gave him a hug because "that's what homeschoolers do". Well his
mom came running up to me and asked me if i was Shawn's girlfriend. I said no and
then she left with Shawn. And every day after that he started to walk me to my
english class that I had on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then on Friday October 6, 2006 I
asked him to go see a movie with me, Monster House, at Movies10. Now every one I
talked to said that I asked him out on a date. Wait!!! I did what?? I only intended
to ask him just as two friends hanging out!!! I didn't want to say anything to him
about this fearing that he would back out at the last possible second, so I managed
to keep my mouth shut. Thursday November 16, 2006 was the day of my dad's birthday.
As usual I went to school and sat in my math listening to our professor and as usual
he walked me to english. I noticed that he was unusually quiet. He suddenly said to
me "I'm debating to ask you something" and then he went real quiet for a what seemed
like the longest 3 minutes of my life. "ok", he said, "I'll ask you". He took a deep
breath and out came these 6 words that I had been waiting patiently to hear for 18
years: "Will you go out with me?". Boy was I surprised!!! It was the sweetest moment
of my life and I will never forget the day he asked me out. The whole way home on the
bus I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. I was so happy and I still am. Shawn,
you have made me so happy and I'm so blessed to have you with me and share my life
with you. I love you baby so much!! You are my world and I would die for you. I hope
you and I have many memories to share together. I love you!!!
