its so weird to think that this time next week i will marry the man of my dreams and our little family will be complete. i know that our relationship is not a conventional one. we didnt first meet, fall in love, get married, and have babies.
jesse and i have know each other since high school, in fact he was my sisters best friend, which meant we were not allowed to be friends let alone talk to each other. i do remember when it was my senior year, jesse had already graduated and before he left for marine boot camp i ran into him at the gas station and we exhanged numbers, we chatted for awhile but you know how things can get hard being so far away from someone. we never got romantic the first time. it wasnt until years later that he friended me on facebook, oh facebook--the wonders that you do, he had just gotten out of a serious relationship and was living in california. i was graduating that summer and was seriously dating someone, plus i was living in ohio. we chatted a few times on facebook and we enjoyed talking to each other and i gave him my number so we could chat outside of facebook.
me and my boyfriend of course ended up breaking up and that was when jesse offered to send me out there for the weekend for the marine corp ball. i was excited and i requested off work so i could leave friday. well jesse stopped talking to me and it never happened. it wasnt until later i found out that he was scared to send me out there for what might happen. we ended up not talking for awhile and i found someone else, which that didnt even get to envolve into anything. months later we started talking again and he was going to be in ohio for a whole month visiting family and friends and such. he told me what day he was going to be in town and i called him that day but he didnt answer, and earlier that month i started hanging out with this guy that was mutual friends with my best friend. i ended up nothing seeing him at all that month.
it wasnt until end of january that we were chatting up again texting each other. it had been like this for the last year on and off and joking on the phone about things. this last time in january he told me he was going to be in ohio again for a wedding. only for a week and would like to see me. i PROMISED him that i would make time to see him while he was here. well one thing led to another and we realized even though he hadnt official seen each other in years we had fallen in love over the last year and didnt realize it until we saw each other.
he stayed for a week and was going to be moving to texas in march to be with some of his family. i came out and visited for a week but we realized it wasnt going to work if we only saw each other for a week every month or so. so i decided to move to texas. i ended up pregnant in july and back in ohio in october. and gave birth to addison in april. we have been leaving here now and we are getting married at the end of this month. so maybe our story isnt the fairy tale people want to hear but to us its the most magical story of them all.
yeah
