My Story so Far (Love)

When I was 10 years old we Moved to a small town in Texas called Bertram. My first summer in our new home was strange. We lived miles from the actual town, yet I was allowed to ride my bike to the local gas station alone.
I met up with a new school friend and we strolled around town, seeing the sights of a small town. She had met a new girl, that was living with her dad for the summer. We decided to head over there to hang out. *Knock on the door* Here opens the door, her older brother (12) and his two friends. I knew his two friends from school but not him. Letting us in Older Brother and friends went on about their business for a while.
After Lunch Our new friend led us into her brothers room where a lot of yelling was going on. Apparently the boys were all playing video games and quiet enjoying themselves. I was invited to join and well didnt play very well.. After I was laughed out of the room by Big Brothers friends he followed. Very caring and sweet, he asked if I was ok. I was fine, but he seemed to want to say more. Ten minutes later he asked me out! "Wait what?! No! Sorry , 1 Im not allowed, 2. Im not really interested." I went home. Later that week he called me and asked again! "No! now stop" Nearly every time I met with him or talked to him on the phone he asked me.
Over time we became very good friends. He would call me when he needed to talk, and come over when he needed to get away from home life. We would take 3 hour walks, and talk for hours unending.
When I was 15 Big Brother got a car, he was so proud of it. Called me right away for me to come see it, even before it was running. We sat in it for a while before he asked me again. This time instead of Turning him down right away I told him I would think about it. A couple days later I called him, Of course he asked again. Finally , I agreed. It was Feb. 17th, 2001.
We went out on many dates once his car was running. We were Joined at the hip, as my parents would say. He was always at my house, I was always with him. Though It was obvious We were close and getting closer He still was yet to get a kiss. I was just to shy, and he sent chills to my knees...
Six months after we started dating, after a long ride home from a UT Basket Ball game. We were sitting in his car, not really wanting to leave, just talking and looking at the nights sky, He leaned in and Kissed me. My first Kiss. "Wow" slipped out accidentally and I was hooked on him. We were together more then ever after he graduated.
In 2004, after I graduated, we were married. Not to many years later in 2006 we added a new member to our family! Our Son was born in Oct. 2006. We were happy of course. But thats another story.
After a few more years My Husband and I started having financial problems. He had quit his job, and I already didnt have one. We decided the Military would be the best way to go. We researched each branch, and decided that the Air Force would be the way for us to go. Since I was not physically fit, He joined. Passed his first test, and then on to Basic. He did very well in Basic and I fell into Depression. Missing my Husband and other family events going on. Finally when he came home We were together again.
Once Tech school was over we were stationed at OFFUTT, AFB in Nebraska. Have been here for over a year now. We have had our ups and downs, but no matter what we remember what we really mean to each other. Fights happen, Many sleepless nights. But Nothing ever changes. We are still here for each other, and our son.

  1. It's nice to know that even though you have tough times, and you're young, you still love each other and tough it out. You can get through the rough things in life if you stop and breathe....
