many people said it was childhood love, a highschool sweetheart, a relationship that wouldn't be forever... but I knew in my heart of hearts that he was the one.... that this was it, I found my soul mate, my best friend and the person I wanted to spend forever with. But my happily ever after didn't start then, yes we dated all through highschool and college and even after but it was quite awhile before we got engaged. Your father is smart, he wanted to finish college, get a good job and plan for the future before we got married.... if it was up to me I would of married him right away,I just knew he was the one, I was done looking. Once we got engaged, I spent a year planning the most beautiful, elegant and fun wedding that I have ever been to. My dress was beautiful,the beadwork and rhinestones and pearls were magnificent.... I felt and looked amazing in it, I felt beautiful and special and loved!
Our wedding had tables upon tables of homemade cookies ( you boys would have loved them, yum!) and a huge heart shaped ice sculpture, delicious food, flowers and decorations on every table, tulle and lighting over the dance floor and music to entertain all of our friends and family. And our friends and family and us had a blast... we danced the night away ( Michael you would have loved seeing your dad's moves).... it was more of a party than a wedding, a celebration of our love! I remeber at the wedding telling everyone about my surprise I got the night before at our reception. Your dad got me a welcome mat!
Yes, a welcome mat, to put in front of the door of our new HOUSE!!!! I was so excited and so surprised, I cried! We had looked for months at many open houses, spent days with a realtor and drove around every Sunday looking for "For Sale" signs..... after a few months of looking and a few turned down offers we decided to wait until after the honeymoon to continue looking for our house. I had no idea that he went back and put a new offer in on the house ( the house that I liked best, our house), he's just an amazing person like that! I can remember being so happy and so excited to move into our house, to paint and decorate it and to make it our home... our home where we would start our lives together as Mr. and Mrs. and a home where we would start our family! And here is where I'd like to think my happily ever after started. We have been married for 5 years now and have been blessed with 2 amazingly beautiful little boys, Michael and Nicholas you are both a result of our love for each other and our dreams of having a family together. We have shared years filled with love and laughter together and we are happy, truley happy with each other. Some peoples happily ever after might consist of huge houses, extravagant vacations traveling around the world, and being rich with money... but my happily ever after is this ,having my family to love.
Thank you Mike for making all my dreams come true, for loving me and caring for me and for giving me two amazing little boys and for having the same values and wants that I have... you make it so easy to love you and to be happy :) Happy 5 year Anniversary ... I look forward to so many more years with you and so many more happy memories. I love you.... forever and ever, to the moon back, and more than the mostest!
AHHHHHHH That was nice!
