The Rest of the Story

Ok, ok!!! I have received thousands of requests since Jeralyn did the anniversary post. Please promise me if I tell the rest of the story that you will stop calling me, stop texting me and stop peeking through our windows.

So, I will admit that I had tried to politely break up with this foxy lady but she didn't quite get the hint. So, as she said I reluctantly told her to go fly a kite, err..I mean I agreed to go fly kites with her.

It was freezing cold and I had only one thing on my mind and that was trying to figure out the shortest amount of time to fly kites without seeming rude. I know that sounds awful but I had to end this somehow without hurting her feelings because she was, of course, so sweet.

So I'm sitting there thinking this and we really weren't saying hardly anything at all and then something really weird happened. All of a sudden I looked at her and something instantly changed inside me. I remember thinking, "are you stupid, this girl is amazing". It was like she had a little glow around her and from that moment on, I was completely smitten. I didn't want her to leave my side.

I didn't say anything once I felt this way at the park but I remember thinking that I wanted to take her to dinner and I wanted it to be as far away as possible so that I could feel this way for the rest of the night.

So that's it. I'm no expert blogger like my girlie girl but hopefully you can tell how in love I was with her. Now, here we are 13 years later and I realize how lucky I was to snag someone like that. She is definitely a keeper!!

Phew!

Glad you recognized the amazement that is Jeralyn before it was too late.

You seem like a powerhouse of a couple together. :)

Thanks for the story, Ry. Thanks for marrying our girl and taking great care of her. You deserve each other for the best of everything.

Finally!!!

Good thing you had bought those kites. Nothing like sub-zero temps and a kite to bring you to your senses. Good thing you didn't let her get away!
