Being Mrs Kirk: Love Story

We met 10 years ago in High School

He was a senior, I was a sophomore

I wasn't really dating anyone, but I didn't see him like that (sorry John)

he used to tease me.

He wasn't necessarily a "bully" he was just one of those guys that teased me daily

He graduated, and I started dating someone else....

We'd keep in touch every now and then, he'd send me a message on Facebook which I replied very "short" messages to. I wrote the occasional Happy Bday on his Facebook wall every now and then.
We were normal "Facebook" friends....but nothing else.

Well, I was living in Salt Lake, and on Halloween of 2009 I got dressed up (or down..) and went out with a friend to a bar. He saw me there, I said hi, didn't want him thinking I was working there... it was awkward. We laugh about it now

When we started dating, I found out all the "little things" about him liking me in the past

Like how on Halloween night he told his friend I was beautiful

How we were at the same wedding last year, and took photos in a photo booth together (random)

Basically, how he's liked me for awhile, and it all started when I moved "home"

He said he's always thought I was beautiful, but never thought he had a chance.

We both had relationships, moved a few places,

and there were a few years we didn't really talk to each other.

Then, I moved home.

In June 2013 he asked me to come hang out with him & his little girl (Raquel) at the park

I said No. I didn't want to deal with "falling" for anyone again and I knew there was a chance

He text me Happy Bday

I text him Happy Fathers Day (within two days from my bday)

July rolled around, and we had text every now and then and sent funny snap-chats to each other

(I never had makeup on, and pulled the ugliest faces) I didn't care.

He asked me to go fishing with him and his daughter on the 28th of July

I said yes.

We had a blast...I thought we were just fishing,

but apparently it was the start of the best thing in my life

He dropped me off that night and I missed him

I didn't understand why I felt that way, but I wanted to see him again

We took his little girl to Despicable Me 2 two days later. He got up in the middle of the movie and when he came back, he came and sat by me. Real smoooooth

He seemed nervous, but he sat down

and when our hands touched....

I got butterflies!

After that week, I knew I was in love with his little girl, but I didn't know I felt about him. YET

He took her back to Florida, came back & wanted to see me the night he got home.

That same week we went to a wedding, went to his work camp-out...etc

A month after our relationship my traveling job sent me away for a month.

We had already said "I love you"

Sometimes I thought it was moving too fast, and in every relationship I've been in- I've always thought about it ending & how it would end. I couldn't think that way, even if I tried, something told me I was going to be with him for awhile. He was the one, I knew it...and he did to.

I was gone for a month traveling the world but I missed him so much, I couldn't wait to get home, and one day while I was in New Zealand- he sent me flowers! Just had to brag for a second! Anyway, I got home, he asked me to move in, and he hated that I traveled every weekend- we both missed each other, even two days apart.
