Its odd isn't it? How we can fall for someone at the wrong time. I am so thankful we got that second chance a few years later.
My husband and I have been friends since my freshman year of high school. He was a sophomore at the time. What’s weird is that I never remembered seeing him prior to that year. All of our school was on one campus. K-12th grade. I had went to that school since elementary school, as did he. So why hadn’t we crossed paths before?
By the time junior high came around all of us girls were what our parents used to call “boy crazy”. I think that was it. We were the new kids on the junior high campus and it seemed we would be pursuing a whole new level of boy crazy. Like I’ve stated before I was a cheerleader. I somehow always found myself attracted to the “jock type”. Looking back that’s the type of guys I dated (if that’s what you want to call it). My husband tested out some sports in Jr. High but decided that wasn’t his thing. That could be what kept us from crossing paths. Or the whole 2 years I spent trying to make something out of a pointless relationship. We won’t spend time on that guy though, he was never going to be right for me.
However, once I reached my high school years, I like to think I opened up and started to really try and find someone I could connect to. Matt and I had mutual friends. Since I was a high school cheerleader, I spent a lot of time with some girls in his grade. In fact, for a couple years they were some of the best friends I ever had. So in turn of that carter and I spent more and more time around one another. Soon it became easy just to find each other at breaks and after school. We were friends for such a long time. I like to think we gave it a try back then but decided to not give it our all. I mean we were in high school. So much could have happened. I’ve always valued his way of thinking. Talking to him now he explains that he didn’t want to pursue that relationship and lose our friendship over it.
I love OUR love story. It makes me happy to see that waiting in the past just may have saved us a heartbreak over a changing personality, or snobby girl or guy trying to split us up. I know we gave it our all from the beginning this time. We had grown up and matured into ourselves and no longer had to deal with the drama of high school. I’m absolutely so in love with him. I always believed we could end up together. And it seemed at the lowest point I could reach, he picked me up and saved me. Don't get this title wrong because of course i want my husband but the point is that i NEED him more. He is my rock. He helps keep me together when times are hard. And he is always there for me even if he doesn't agree with me or understand why I'm feeling the way I am. He means more to me than anything in the world.
