{Yup we tried it 3 times, and then on round 4, we got engaged. Best choice ever}
Some people might think that after that many tries we should call it quits.
BUT.
I knew a few weeks into round one that it would take him a little while. I knew he was someone I could love and marry. Yup 3 weeks in.
Round two: short. Pretty much we missed the action. (I'll admit it. We like to kiss...)
Round three: things actually got serious. We talked about marriage, not just in general, but when. We went on a trip together which brought us closer. The reason it ended was because I was going to school and he didn't want to have me tied down. But I wanted to be. I wanted nothing more than to just stay in his arms instead of drive back to Rexburg.
Sometimes I think about those 4 months that I was at school. Now I dated at school, but that semester I had a few other guys come around that I thought something could seriously happen. I wonder, "What if I had gone on a date with Bachelor number one?" "What if I let things happen a little more with Bachelor number two?" "What if Bachelor number three had tried holding my hand? Would I have let him?"
And then I look at our wedding picture, and Addie hugs my legs, and I feel teeny twinkle toes in my stomach {YUP!! Just a little, but the baby is there!!} and I think how lucky I am that we took our time and became friends. Even when we were not together, we were becoming better friends. I also know, that if it hadn't have worked out with Mike, I would have met someone else and things would have worked out.
BUT I am so lucky that Mike wanted me and WE are married and working on forever.
Thanks for our life together. I love you more today than I did yesterday.
