The beginning of a new life...

I always grew up knowing that I wanted kids and wanted them early. I can't remember a time where I was not super in love with children. As soon as I turned 18 I got a job at a daycare that I worked at for 3 years. I worked my way into the sales force with cell phones for a while but now that I'm mostly a stay at home wife I'm working extremely part time at a church nursery and I adore it.

I was always the girl that was looking to settle down as well, even in high school when I dated guys I wanted it to be long term and I so easily fell in love with them. My life changed though in February of 2008 when a guy that I thought I wanted to be my forever man dumped me and left me shattered and heartbroken. Soon after a guy that I had met through my job at the time, Borders, started up a new friendship with me. I made it very clear that I was *not* interested in dating. I mean, firstly, this man was 6 1/2 years older than me and secondly I was still hoping and praying that my ex would see the error in his ways. New man convinced me to go on a "friend date" with him to a new fancy restaurant in town. I agreed only because my ex also had a date that night and I hoped to make him jealous and distract myself. We went out and boy did he make me laugh, I had a blast. Still, I thought, this is only my friend he is so not my type. We started to hang out more and more and I found how much I enjoyed being around him. I found that I couldn't even go an entire day without talking to him. Eventually after much kicking my feet(and telling everybody around me how I didn't want to date him!) I decided that I really did like this guy after all. In March we officially became a couple and on August 1, 2009 he became my husband.
