Reminiscing On Them Good Times!

So, Brady has 234 days left. Can you believe it? In just a little over 1 month, Brady will have 200 days left... I can't believe how quickly time is going! There are days that are still quite unbearable but then most days I'm like, holy cow! Keep going this fast!! :) I miss my babe a lot, and I just wanted to share a memory of him and I today. So hopefully ya'll haven't gotten sick of hearing about Brady and I.

I remember this day clearly. It was a little after Brady and I had started dating. It was only the day after graduation (that day that we truly first held hands) that we had friends over, and held hands during the movie. We were cute, and flirty and played games to hold hands until finally we just held hands. But every time someone in his family came downstairs, he'd let go and try not to let them see. I, too, didn't know how to take that when his family came down stairs, so I moved my hand as well. I remember this went on only 2 more times before his brother saw us holding hands. He even texted me and said, "Someone saw us holding hands, and now my family knows :)" Hahaha

He invited me to a family birthday party a few days later, and I was a little nervous, knowing it was the first time I'd meet his family but I was excited to go. When he picked me up he said, "Now that my family knows we've held hands, we don't need to hide it." And he held my hand the entire drive there :) It was so cute! I remember his aunt meeting me for the first time and she said, "Are you here with him? Are you guys friends?" Hahaha and we joked for a bit, and I didn't really say anything because Brady and I hadn't had the "boyfriend/girlfriend" talk. Well, we were caught holding hands and they all started to say, "Ohhh, so you're more than friends!!" Hahahaha and we just laughed, but his mom and sister kept taking pictures of us holding hands, or sitting by each other. I just remember thinking that was hilarious, but now I have cute pictures because of it :) His cute cousin Brett kept running over and asking if we were boyfriend and girlfriend, and then he'd run away and neither Brady or I said anything. And then he ran over and said, "If you hug than you're married!" Hahaha and we just laughed. (Seriously, Brett is a stud). So when we were leaving, Brady yelled, "Brett!" And as he looked towards us, we hugged and his mouth just dropped! Hahaha ever since then I told Brett he could be my boyfriend while Brady was gone and he even gave me a kiss on the cheek and beat Brady to it! Lol

I'm so glad I got to meet his family that day. They are all such wonderful and loving people! I'm so grateful for their kindness towards me, and accepting me into the family. It really helps when I feel I'm struggling a bit! Brady makes me smile and I'm so lucky to have him in my life :) Hahaha, as Safetysuit says, "I will never stop holding your hand." Love you babe!
