God put Matt Wytanis in my life at a time when I needed him the most. In only a few weeks from Sept-Oct, 2007, I had lost my church home, my dad accepted a job in Columbia, we put our house up for sale, sold our house, moved into a small apartment, and my dog (my baby!) died. The next week, I met Matt through our mutual friend, Annelise. He was my type to a T- tall, dark, handsome, athletic, a musician, well-dressed, and a huge flirt (why must I always be attracted to the flirts??). Needless to say, we hit it off and began spending as much time together as possible. I have many memories of spending time with him in the park those first few months...
First semester of senor year is a blur, I just remember spending as much time with Matt as possible. We were "best friends." I think by January we were pretty much classified by everyone else as dating, but I was hesitant about getting into an official relationship since I was going to UGA after graduating. I feel like Matt was the same way. Our (and my) first kiss was on his 17th birthday- I told him it was his birthday present. Haha.
Long story short, we had some problems the last month of our senior year- both of us not knowing what we really wanted. However, we came out of it all much closer and realizing that we were meant to be together. We made it official May 20, 2008. The next 2+ years were heaven (most of the time. lol.)
High School Graduation
First Summer
Obviously, Matt and I are no longer together. I've been single since July, and I know that God has wanted me to have this time to take a step back and look at my life from a different perspective. I'm definitely learning a lot. I feel very blessed to have experienced true deep love, something many people never get. Although we've had our differences, I'll always love Matt, and nothing he could do could ever change that. We'll see what the future holds...
