Growing up was rough taking care of myself and sister I never thought I would find true love. With dad being in and out of jail I wasn't sure I'd find someone I could trust with ALL my heart.
I dated a guy in high school for three and a half years, until he broke my heart. He was everything to me, the only person I thought I could trust and talk to, but he had me fooled! He cheated on me and I had never been so down about something in my life. I had to find other ways to stay busy. I began to go out with friends and socialize. Thats when we "met". We went to high school together and he was one of my ex's good friends, but I didn't know him that well. We had said hello in passing but that was about it. He saw me at a court house paying a ticket and he stopped me. He told me he could help me with the ticker and I gave him my number. He called and we talked about the ticket and he got it "fixed", but he kept calling. We would talk a little but not often. Then one night changed my life forever! We were both at a local football game and i was beginning to crush on him. He said hi and I seen something in his eyes that I had never seen before. We began talking and he asked me to dinner. I was skeptical but I went. He knew everything about my previous relationship and assured me that he wasn't anything like that. He was more than a great guy, that night he became my best friend. We talked every day and hung out. He was out of school and I was about to graduate and go to college. I thought it was the end. We were together everyday and moved in together after I graduated. After one year of living together I recieved a basketball scholarship and had to move away. It devestated both of us. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. He was all I had. My parents were to busy in the bars and he was my support and my shoulder to cry on. We made it almost two months apart and everythign changed. I went home for the weekend and he proposed. It was perfect! We went to a park and it was barely misting snow. He told me to look up at this sculpture and when I turned around he was down on his knee. I knew it was true and that he was really the one. I finished school in Illinois and moved back to Indiana where we currently live. We both work and I coach basketball so it is hard to find time for each other but somehow we always do. We are currently trying to plan a wedding for summer of 2005 but are doubtful. Last year I got pregnant and lost the baby with all the house bills, college, and hospital bills it is gonna take a while. We want to get married because we are in love, but it would help me in so many other ways and that is why he wants to do it this summer. I can get financial aid for college and I can have insurance if we get married. I currently have neither because of my parents bad decisions. They make too much money for me to get financial aid but they drink it away and can't help us with anything. Nothing will get in our way though! Our love has always over come anything that has tried to step in its way.We both know it will grow more strong every day like it has for the last 3 years! Whether we are married or not the two of us are family and will continue to grow together until death do us part.
