We Have Now Been Married 4 years!!

Happy Anniversary to us. For all of you have no clue how me and J ended up together..well I'll fill you in. In April 1997 ~ I started working at Outback Steakhouse...About 2 weeks later, J~is a new bus boy...For some odd reason I thought he had been to my house before, so I asked.."Have you been to my house before?" He looked at me like I was crazy, but I really thought he came with someone I knew. Anyways, we became great friend (for a while anyways). :) Well J~asked me on a date..It was a great date...He took me to Kanpai in Greenville, then we went to see the movie Hope Floats...Well a few days later, I went to the lake with his family. Well in high school, I wasn't that interested in having a boyfriend, I just wanted to date and meet people. So I knew he was about to ask me to be his girlfriend - and I talked him out of asking me. We would talk on the phone every single night until about 2 in the morning....J~Knew everything about me! Well, we also went through a time when we didnt' speak to each other, but I don't remeber why. Well ~ When we became friends again, we decided to go work at the YMCA. Well, while the kids were sleeping, we decided to play Monopoly. Well I was winning and J was jealous and I was rubbing it in, so he pushed the game in the floor and we didn't speak for 6 months!! He absolutely hated me!!! He even told people how much he hated me!!! There's a lot more to the "hate" story, but I won't even bring all that up. Well we had talked a few times, but nothing like the past. Well when my dad dies, J~came to the funeral home and it meant so much to me. I think the guy I was actually dating at the time could even tell how much Jarod coming meant to me. So I break up with that guy and became great friends with J again. We even really kissed at this party we went to. Then out of no where he puts this guy on the phone that he worked with and I ended up dating him. Well before that ~ I sent Jarod this email saying that I liked him and all this stuff, but he didn't even respond. He says I confused him. Well I was coaching cheerleading at Pendleton and he started Coaching football. Well of course everyone talked about us and everyone thought we were together, and we spent the majority of the time trying to explain our friendship. So after a game one night we went out with some of the other coaches. Well when he dropped me off at my car we sat there and talked for like 30 minutes...Finally I was like...so are you going to kiss me...and he did. Well then we had our 2nd first date. We dated a year, were engaged for 11 months and got married August 7, 2004. Eight months later we were pregnant with Lani and 2 weeks after she turned one...we were pregnant with Dax!! I guess I always knew we were going to be together, it just happened when it was suppose to. There's a lot more I could add, but I won't waste everyone time. But I really have an awesome husband, who loves me a bunches. Jarod is a great dad and I am so glad we decided to share our lives together.
