This story will probably be forever be etched into my mind..... the Gabriella story.
On the first day of seventh grade, I had a Spanish class, my first one. Considering it was a Spanish class, the teacher wanted us all to pick a Spanish name. I had a long list and I had liked more than a few names, but my gut was just telling me Gabriella. So I go home all excited and tell Mom that I picked the name Gabriella. Then she went to go pick up Kara at school. All of a sudden she called me asking me what the name that I picked was again, and I didn't know why she wanted to know. When she got home, she told me what happened at the school. Alec said, "When I grow up and marry Bryanna, we are going to name our first child Gabriella". This got me so excited, it felt like I had a special connection to him for it was such a great coincidence. Now I understand that this event happened for a reason, a story to tell now, to help remember all the things he did.
Love, Bryanna <3
I just want to add to Bryanna's story to explain how that morning went.
Cassidy and Alec were having their breakfast before school, and Cassidy asked me what other names we liked when we were picking names for her. I told her that I had liked the name Gabriella, but Dad didn't, and we both loved Cassidy, so that's how she got named Cassidy.
Alec pipes up and says, "Does Bryanna like the name Gabriella?" And I said, I don't know AL, why? and he said, "Because when I marry her she has to like the name Gabriella for our child".
Oh it was just the sweetest. And just melted me and Cassidy.
Later that afternoon when we picked up Cassidy at school, I told Nicole what Alec said that morning because it was so sweet, as Alec sat in his stroller with his adorable sweet grin listening.
Nicole almost fell over, and said just a few minutes ago Bryanna came home from school and told her that she chose the name Gabriella as her Spanish class name.
We were all amazed by this, and still are.
Bryanna,
Thank you for sharing your story, it will forever be etched in our minds and hearts too.
Alec picked an amazing girl to be his wife.
Love Laura
