This is for the Designer Diaries Inspiration #5 "What If". I used Becky Higgins may sketch to make the lo. Haven't done a 2 page lo in about a year. It was fun though.
Journaling:
I spent years dating all the wrong men. I prayed that someday I would meet "the one", and secretly wondered if I just wasn't meant to be married. One thing I never did was settle. I wasn't going to accept mediocrity for a lifetime. Little did I know, I had known "the one" for 14 years. Brandon was a childhood friend, classmate, one of the 'good guys', and definintely NOT MY TYPE! We graduated from the same high school in 1191 and went on to separated colleges. After college, I found myself back in Dallas, and he in Colorado with with a fiance. In 1996 we wee reunited at a mutual friend's wedding. He was no longer a tall, skinny, adolescent. He had matured into an incredibly honorable and handsome man. I was in awe of him for the moment I saw him. We spent the reception in a group of old friends, catching up on the last five years, and me observing him wiht his fiance. I left that night wondering "What If"...I had only known...would I have done things differently? In June of 1998, I received a phone call from someone trying to find me. It was Brandon. He and his fiance had broken up. He was in Dallas for the weekend and wanted to get together. I was six months into a new relationship, and even though I was curious, decided no to see him. My current relationship proved to be the same as usual, and I ended it. Unsuccessfully, I tried to locate Brandon in Colorado. In October of 1998, unsure of my relationship status, he found me once again, and this time I was available. We spent the next two months talking long distance, and establishing a foundation for something larger than both of us. Brandon moved back to Dallas in December of 1998. When I opened my door to him that pre Christmas Eve night, I finally knew who was "the one". We became best friends, we became "US". We were married in December of 1999. We welcomed our daughter Rilye in 2000, and our son Brandon Jr. in 2002. I finally have the life I prayed for. I often have to wonder "WHAT IF"...he never took that chance? "WHAT IF"...he neve called? Well, teh only thing I know for certain is, I would not be sharing this beautiful life with him.
