Steven & I seemed to simply... fall into place. Everyone saw us as a unit before either of us did, or at least, wanted to accept. He admits he was secretly hiding feelings first and if that doesnt go to a girls head I dont know what will (lol). It was the summer of 2020, and after a particularly rough bout with the green eyed monster, I finally decided enough was enough. I was going to admit my own feelings for him and confront them head on.
We went to dinner one night at Applebee’s (lol why is it ALWAYS Applebee’s?) where as he says I completely “blindsided” him. He even choked on his mashed potatoes when I asked him when he was ever going to tell me the truth about being interested in me. I swallowed my nerves and explained that I actually returned those feelings too. From that moment on, we’ve never been apart.
Before all of this, he was one of my very best friends, and I was one of his. We did literally everything together. Trips, parties, just hanging out when bored. We meshed so incredibly well that it’s a wonder we never did it sooner. My son, Seth, loved him. Who could ask for an easier way to fall in love? I’d call him when I most needed him and he would do the same. We would go on car rides listening to music as we discussed life. Normally, ending in a food run, if you know anything about me (I love food). Months after being together, Seth and I moved into the house, with the addition of our fur babies, we became a big blended family.
Almost two years later, we got pregnant with Chase around the same time of our already planned engagement. It was an exhilarating time, despite how fast it seems to flow. Im glad to have Steven at my side and cannot imagine life without him. Im certain he feels the same. So here we are! Headed to our dream wedding, with our boys, our home, and the aforementioned fur babies. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
And Steven, even on the days you drive me crazy, know that I love you with an intensity that I only ever dreamed of. It’s all a part of the journey, and Im glad to be on the passenger side with you from now until forever.
