Today Chuck and I are celebrating 12 years of marriage. It seems like yesterday he was asking me out on a date. I got my friend Dawn to go with us out to eat and he got her approval. I loved cruising around in his jeep with the top down. The single rose he bought me each Friday when he came into town was so sweet. Each Friday it was a different color. I will never forget the night he proposed. He opened my door on the jeep and the song "You light up my live" by Leann Rimes was playing as we gave me a single white rose. We had dinner and came home to a house full of people. My roommate had friends over. That messed his plans up a little but he just took me to the back of the house took at the ring and asked me to marry him. I was in shock, scared, and excited all at the same time. Ahhh the memories. Now 12 years later and 3 sons I can say I am so glad I met him! It is amazing to think of what could have been if I had taken a different path. I know I got the best end of the deal! I look forward to many more years together.
On the note of dating I have a funny story to share about Garett. He never ceases to amaze me with what he comes up with. Friday I picked him up for school and the first thing he said to me when he got in the van was, "Momma when can I take Ella on a date?" What?? A date?? My 4 year old is asking me if he can date?? I laughed and said, "Well Garett I guess when you get bigger." He informed me, "Ella said I have to take her on a date before I can kiss her!" What KISS??? My 4 year old wants to kiss a girl after a date??? Breathe, Breathe!! LOL! I don't even have these conversations with my 9 or 11 year old! He then told me, "Momma Ella is my girlfriend duh!" I knew she was his girlfriend he tells me EVERYDAY that she is his girlfriend and he is her boyfriend. Ella also tells her mother the same thing. He even saves her a spot by him at breakfast and when she gets to school he tells her to come sit by him! Later on that night I had him tell his dad about the date. I asked Garett if he would take me on a date and he informed me that I was to big and he can't drive. Oh and get this he told me, "Mommmmm daddy is your boyfriend duhh! He can take you on a date!" I asked him if he can't drive how will he take Ella on a date and he said on his 4-wheeler! I laughed. You see his 4-Wheeler is one of those battery operated power wheels. I guess since he can't drive that will have to do. I don't think they will make to far. I talked to Ella's mom on the phone and Ella was telling her the same thing. That they need to go on a date so they can kiss. At least she won't kiss him until he takes her on a date!! Oh the life of a 4 year old! Things are so easy and fun! I am dreading the day the real dates start. With a 11 year old I am sure I only have a few more years before the dating starts. Until then I will just keep wishing my boys don't grow up to fast!
