uhhhh, waiting.

After, 3 long impatient years of waiting for Jesus to ask me to marry him, On March 2, 2011 he finally popped the question... Before I tell you how he ask me, let me tell you a little bit about those impatient years awaited.

Sure, Jesus and I had our fair share of relationship problems, but majority of our problems were me! I would become irritated, and fix up these crazy thoughts in my head because he still had yet to ask me to marry him. He would just tell me "I'll know when I want to Marry you." And for some reason I just could not fathom those words. They were like daggers to my heart. I became worried, maybe he has found someone else, maybe he will find someone else, he doesn't love me.

My dad had those same thoughts too. He told me why would he ask you, why milk the cow... when he already has the milk.

and those words "why milk the cow, when he already has the milk" often became the topic of our arguments.
Finally, after about 3 years of me impatiently waiting I noticed things in our relationship really started to change. We became serious. And by serious I mean mature.

We never wanted to be those young parents with the baby, who go out and party, and get hammered. We never wanted to be like those Facebook friends of ours, that if it weren't for the pictures of their baby you would never even know they were parents because of how horribly irresponsible they were. Family became our lifestyle and family came before those drunken nights with friends....

Jesus got a promotion at work and became department manager, my fitness business became super successful, Brooklyn started dance. Everything was falling into place. Our love was growing stronger, we had no more stupid trust issues, we no longer were having stupid fights. He really became the man I had always dreamed of, and I know I became that woman of his dreams. (I will go into never giving up on relationships in another blog called Do's and Don'ts)

Now back to March 2, 2011, We had been scooping out rings and wedding talk became a regular talk in the weeks/months prior. I came home from teaching my Zumba class (I will soon have a blog on Zumba too!!) and Jesus was playing his video games... He wouldn't look me in the eye and gave me a nervous kiss hi. So I hopped on the computer and started looking at engagement rings while Brooklyn was climbing all over me. I started pointing out some and showing Jesus, his eyes seemed more focused on Call of Duty than the rings but he was looking. I made a joke like "just ask me already babe" and he didn't laugh... Instead he started to sweat. He asked me if I wanted to go on our walk and I said yes. Nightly walks was something we would do every now and then. So we went. He stopped and got down to what I thought was to tie his shoe, he pulled out the ring got on one knee and said "I love you with all my heart, I can't imagine my life without you in it, Will you marry me"? (something like  that) and I started to cry and said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have my promise ring on too in this pic, forgot that part! That's another reason why I became so impatient!!
