Today marks 12 years since Steve officially asked me out. We had been seeing each other for about a month and I wanted the official title of his girlfriend so one night, well September 1, 1997 to be exact, I was talking on the phone with Steve. He was on the payphone by the liquor store by his friends house, anywho we were talking and I told him he needs to ask me out. Of course he was like why we are together, I told him I know but I wanted him to officially ask me out. Like the good ole days ;) So he proceeded to ask if I would be his girlfriend. Of course being the nice person that I am I said yes.
Here we stand 12 years, 7 years of that being married, 3 amazing children later. I couldn’t have asked for a better husband. Of course he has his times where I want to smack him but he is a great person. He is an absolutely amazing father to our children. He loves me for me and supports me in whatever I do. He works a full time job and has recently started going back to school full time to achieve a degree so he can advance in what he wants to do in life. I love that he is my best friend and I can talk to him about the good and the bad. I can pour my heart and soul out to him and he would listen. Of course he would throw in his two cents and I’m sure interrupt me a couple times but he will still listen and let me confide in him. He is my rock and my world.
I love you hunny and look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.
Hunny, I want you to know that I feel the very same way. I enjoyed our phone conversation that we had twelve years ago when I asked you out officially. I remember standing out in front of the Bootlegger on the pay phone with you, listening to you explain some the angst you were feeling towards your parents regarding their dissatisfaction they felt about us being together. I have loved every minute, the good and the bad, that we have had since that phone call. We've had our ups and downs, but I know deep within my heart that you are my soul mate, the one I was destined to spend the rest of my life together with. Without our union, those three beautiful children God gave us wouldn't be here. You filled an empitness in my life that no one, and I mean no one, could possibly fill. I love you hunny and look forward to tomorrow, the day after, and every day beyond that, because I know you will be there with me.
