With everything thats gone on this week, I missed a very important anniversary. Two days ago, Oct. 15th, marked 2 years since Scott asked me a question that started us on a journey that has led to the best 2 years of my life. The question was Do you want to go for a ride on the Parkway on Saturday? Ive been on motorcycles since I was in high school & always loved them but it had been a few years since I had ridden & I couldnt wait! I had seen Scott the weekend before at a bonfire for the first time since high school & knew he was going through a difficult time & thought this would give me another chance to step up & be a good friend to him. After what I had been through with my ex, I wanted nothing to do with dating/relationships & I knew felt the same way! That was what was so appealing about his request...we could just go have fun & not have to worry about a thing!! But a strange thing happened that day...we both felt something for each other. We also had an absolute blast together, well documented in the photos from that day! What we felt for each other, we both quickly began to squash, never letting the other know that we felt a thing. We continued to spend time together as friends & the more we worked to squash what we felt for each other, the more God worked to bring the feelings out. It was obvious that God had a plan for us & that our fears didnt matter to Him. The more we spent time together, the more apparent it became that we were having the time of our lives & that this was the relationship wed both been waiting for years to find. It took a few months before we were totally willing to let our guard down but wed both been through a lot. Things havent been totally easy for us, by any means. Weve both built our way back after divorces. Thats never easy, even under the best of circumstances. People we love purposely lied about us & tried to split us up & then people we thought were close friends spread those lies & turned people against us. Weve faced several difficult challenges...esp. in the last 3 months. But throughout every single, difficult thing thats happened, weve turned to each other & made a conscious effort to remain united & not let anything divide us or come between us. Things could have been different & we could have let all these things destroy us. Instead, the challenges are whats made us so strong! But weve waited over half our life to find what we share! We know what it is to be unhappy & lifes way too short for that! Weve been engaged now for just over 6 weeks & have so much to look forward to & realize just how very blessed we are! Life can be tough, no doubt! But the perspective you have about it also plays a big part in just how bad it makes your entire life. Thank you, Scott Repass,for standing by my side every day of the past 2 years & for all the many smiles, incredible love & endless laughter. Ive never known anyone who understands what it means to live life to the fullest more than you do! Its an honor to be your fiancé & I absolutely love you more...love you the most...love you to the moon & back...love you to Pluto...& love you to infinity & beyond! (Did I get them all???) ;)
