Forever Starts Now

This started out as a simple layout and quickly turned into a 3 day project....and I'm really not sure if I'm completely happy with it. But it'll do for now.

The hidden journaling is a mini history of me and Joe:

In all actuality, forever began 12 years ago when we met in the 4th grade. We were just babies then but you so badly wanted to be my boyfriend. I, however, was not the slightest bit interested in being your girl. And so we went through the school year, you flirted, and I was very unresponsive. I had better things to do at that age than worry about boys. The year ended and I found myself at a different school the following few years.

The summer after our 6th grade year we were at the pool and I found myself so utterly in love with you. And when I say “in love” I mean you were so dang cute!! We splashed all day in the pool and by the end of the day you were my boyfriend. I was expecting to go back to Vale that year, but rather by dad moved to Unity and he took Whitney, Preston and I with him. So, when I started the 7th grade I was involved in my first long distance relationship, and it didn’t last. There were too many cute boys at my new school that wanted to be my boyfriend and so I called you one day to tell you that it was over.

The following year, I moved back to Vale and on the very first day of school, you, among many other boys asked me out. Of course, I said no as I wanted some time to scope out all my “could be boyfriends.” A few months passed and I was not interested in anyone and so you asked me out again by writing me a simple note, “Will you go out with me?” And I said yes! That was October 22, 1997, and from that day on for the next 6 months we were inseparable. In April of 1998 I became bored and tired of having a boyfriend and so I broke up with you. During those 6 months, however, we fell in love. But I wasn’t very sure that it was real. You took the break up very hard and cried when I told you, but I did what I needed to do for me.

We started high school as not so good of friends, but over the years you stopped hating me and started to love me again. I always thought that we loved each other as friends during those years, and nothing more. But now I know better. Eight years ago when I first told you that I loved you and that I would love you forever, I meant it. I didn’t know that when I said it, but you did.

After high school when we found ourselves in a fairytale romance you told me that you always knew that we would be together. That I was your soul mate. You told me that it hurt you deeply to see me dating other guys but that you stayed persistent because you knew that one day I would realize that I had already found my one and only. It took me 5 years to realize it, but when I did I never looked back.

I’ve never regretted not being with you for all those years. It was within that time that we built our foundation for this marriage. We started out a strong pair and have only become stronger since then. You and I, my love, were made to last forever….and it starts now.

Thanks for looking!!
