Today is a great day. 28 years ago today, Kent asked me to be his girlfriend. Aw...it's that sweet??
We had been out helping a young woman who had lost her husband, had a hard time keeping up with her house and property. So, for 2 weekends in a row, we headed out to her house--cleaned her house, cleaned up her property--and got to know each other very well.
At that point, I did like him, that was for sure. I didn't know another person who would work full time and then be willing to spend a very, very long day to help out this woman.
I like that.
It was on our way home the second weekend, Kent asked me what I was going to do that night and honestly, all I wanted to do was sit.
So, I told him that I would be going home, drinking tea and sitting--watching TV. he asked me if I wanted company...and I did.
It was that night, he asked me...I can tell you, that no one before that had actually asked me out. They'd just assume we were together.
I felt so special that night. Since that time--through all the ups and downs, he has continued to make sure that I am cherished and loved.
Today, while we were out running around doing our normal Saturday chores, I asked him if he ever felt like this: Once in a while, I feel robbed that 28 years has gone by so quickly...and that I know we don't have another 28 years to go.
I am thankful for the husband of my youth. He makes me laugh a lot...and that is important to me. He's allowed me to have a wonderful life and he understands me so well.
