We’re Going to the Chapel – Oh, Wait!

As you may already know, Scott and I will finally be getting married on March 20th. We originally had wanted to have a very small wedding with immediate family and close friends in attendance, but after waiting and waiting for the funds to do that and them never coming available due to other expenses, and the current economy the way it is, we decided to just go off and get married on our own.   We realize this may upset some people, and have gotten a couple comments stating as much, but this is what we want and we hope that everyone understands that. Being that we have both been married once before, we really don’t need or want anything fancy, and even a small affair can really add up financially. With that being said, we are going off to Berlin, Ohio and saying our vows to each other and the minister that will be marrying us in the quant little cottage we will be staying the weekend in. So, I guess maybe the chapel is coming to us? We will be leaving Friday and returning Sunday evening. It’s sort of a way to wrap up our marriage and take a tiny little honeymoon at the same time.

Scott and I started dating on October 14, 2006 with a little help from my mom, believe it or not. She had Scott in mind for me before we hooked up…she knew him because he does the computer/network stuff for Bruce’s shop and thought he would be a very nice guy for me to hook up with. Scott came to her house to look at her computer and I was there at the time. I’m not sure if this was planned or not. Anyhow, I bit and mentioned that my computer at home was running very slowly and he came over a few nights later to take a look at it. We talked for several hours while he worked on my computer and were on our first date shortly after that. As you know, shortly thereafter he moved in and then I got pregnant with Jonathan. Scott is the best companion I can imagine for myself. He loves me for who I am and is a wonderful father to Matthew and Jonathan.

We have been through a lot together, both trails and glorious times, and have conquered all of them together…at each others side. He was amazingly supportive when we had the ectopic pregnancy and is really a very sensitive man. He keeps it bottled up at times, but I have learned to sometimes be able to tell what his actions mean, and they tell a lot. He took great care of me when I was recovering, and took over most of the household chores. Even when I am not down and out, he will help me out because he realizes that we both work and there is no way I can do it all. Scott is the kind of man I want both Matthew and Jonathan to grow up to be. I just wish we could have found each other sooner and avoided a lot of wasted time. To think, we went to school together and never hooked up.

Scott and I have accomplished many dreams together, including the birth of our son Jonathan and have many more dreams to fulfill together. Our current goal is to get a larger home for our family that has a yard and ample space for all of us. It may take awhile for this dream to be fulfilled, but I know we can accomplish it together. If we can accomplish this goal, we plan to accomplish the goal of having another child together. We know, time is running short and our biological clocks are ticking, but I can not help to have the hope that some day all of our dreams will come true.

Love you all!
