to my wonderful husband & I of 2 years! ♥ I cannot believe It's been 2 years already. Time sure flies when your having fun with the one's you love.
These words are from my Anniversary card my husband gave me this morning....
~When we began our life together, I didn't realize how much I still had to learn about love and marriage. They don't teach it in school. In fact, I don't think it can be taught! It can only be learned over time with someone you really love, someone who's willing to learn it together. Sometimes It's been easy and effortless, with long stretches of happiness and contentment. Other times, we've had our struggles, but through it all we both knew that this is the most important thing we'd ever do, And there's no one else I'd rather do it all with than you!
~Kim, I'm so happy to be spending my life with you. Even in the difficult times, I love you! Thanks for being my wife. I hope we celebrate many more Anniversary's to come. Love you baby! Wayne ♥
It made me a little teary eyed when I read it. You know sometimes my husband doesn't show his love to me every day but I know by this card & his words I am his true love.
If you are interested or not I'd like to write about how we fell in love with each other & how this whole love thing got started. ♥ It's long so be patient. :)
It all started at work, in a boat plant called Scout Boats. I had been working there for about 5 months then. I was dating a guy at the time that I wasn't so sure if I really was "in love" with. As I worked at Scout Boat, Wayne also had been there a good 8 years & we both worked in the same department. I noticed he always caught my attention by singing out loud in one of the boats he was building with his buddies, basically trying to show off. I of course thought it was funny. I felt little pitter patters from my heart when I'd walk pass him. It was definitely the beginning of something. As my boyfriend would come eat lunch with me from time to time in the car , Wayne & his friend would be in his truck a few rows down. They were always trying to get my attention, and make stupid noises while I was eating lunch with my boyfriend. I just couldn't stop grinning at them. I'm sure my boyfriend didn't have a clue why I was smiling so much. :)
Sometimes Wayne & I would have to be in the same boat to fix something, and as we were "working" we would talk a little here & there. Days went by and my boss (which is Wayne's friend) asked me what I thought of Wayne. He said he really liked me & I should give it a try. I was debating because I wasn't sure. For one I was dating someone already, and two I just wasn't sure of him, he was older & I was young. Some more time passed and on this particular day I had a girlfriend of mine came up to me while I was working. Stacey asked what did I think of Wayne? I said I don't know, I like him. She said well he likes you too & wants to know if you want to go out on a date some time. There was no hesitation, I said Yes. As this was going on, Wayne worked right behind me & Stacey was going back & forth from me to him. It was quite silly, but I had this huge smile on my face. We exchanged #'s through Stacey on paper. Basically I thought I was going to use him because he had a nice truck & a boat. Ha! Yea I was a bad girl back then. :) But we ended up going out one Summer weekend in June on his boat at the lake. I have to say that was the best night I'd have in a long time. I was happy. He made me feel so special. After we got back to the landing we shared our first kiss together in his truck, then I drove home.
From there on out we talked on the phone for hours & hours everyday. I was basically in Love & couldn't believe all the things we had in common! I ended up breaking up with my boyfriend after our first date & lets just say I was prone to breaking boys hearts. :( Oops.
From that date on he would drive 45 minutes to my house almost everyday. He met my Grandparents & they fell in love with him. I found out later he was from a well known Christian background which was an A+ in my family's book. Most weekends we would drive to his hunting club & ride around shining for deer, and just talking for hours. He loved hunting & so did I so we new we were right for each other. I ended up meeting his family who also fell in love with me, & I started attending his church every Sunday. My walk with Jesus got closer & closer. About October I moved into his home, yes with his parents. I didn't care because I was in love ladies. :) We traveled to different places that next month or so & on Christmas 07' he proposed to me in our tree stand while we were hunting. YEP! It was so remarkable how he proposed. He was sittng behind me as I was down by his feet up in tree, & he whipped that ring out & asked me to marry him. I said "Yes"! :)
Then come January I went to the Dr. to find out I had a bun in the oven. Whoops. Big shock. Found out I was already 2 1/2 months by then. Yea lets just say that's what happens when you skip a month of birth control pills. Ha. We had no idea what we were going to do by then. But we ended up setting a date for March 2nd to get hitched. We thought that was the best thing we could do before we had this little bean. After a lot of planning & thinking we decided to have a really small wedding. Nothing big because money was tight, just immediate family & friends. We had our pastor marry us at my grandparents house. The reason for having it at my house was because my grandfather was in such a bad shape it was hard for him to leave & besides I didn't want him to miss his baby girl getting married. He was like a father to me. We said our "I do's" and kissed. That was the day of many fun, loving, and crazy adventures to come. We had our baby boy in August, 5 months after our marriage & I couldn't be any prouder! So there's the LONG story of how my Wonderful husband & I got started on this day in 2007!
Only 8 months of dating & we were in love & married! Crazy! :)
(I didn't get any pictures of the party, oops)
I am so grateful God sent Wayne my way, and thankful for the blessings he's blessed us with along our journey. Even though we may have our arguments from time to time & feel like we hate each other, no matter what, we make up & truly love one another.
