All About Me Week Day 2

Are you having as much fun getting to "know" me better as I am answering your questions? I hope so. Check out Day One if you missed it.


One of today's questions is how I met my husband and how he proposed. I will try to put this in a nut shell. First off, we went to the same High School. BUT I wouldn't have given him the time of day back then. Let's just say he and I weren't compatible. (He hadn't come to know the Lord yet!) That's all I'll say. We both went our merry ways after high school. I married the one person the Lord DIDN'T want me to marry but within all that I had my very precious daughter. I know the Lord hates divorce, but we did divorce as he was having an affair and I was done. I moved back home (thank you Mom and Dad) and became a single Mom. But on Easter of 95' my life was about to finally change in a positive direction. My ex came to pick up my daughter (she was 1 at the time) and I was very upset. I called one of my good friends Tammy and asked if I could come over. She said of course as she and her family were just sitting down for Easter dinner. I ran, okay drove, over to her house with blood shot eyes from crying, no make up on and just a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I walk in and there's Tammy and her family AND Brad. She didn't tell me that HE was there or I would have spruced myself up a bit. Long story short he asked me out for the following Friday, I accepted and we married 7 months later and have been married for 13 wonderful years. He truly is the man I was to marry. As for his proposal, well even he'll say it wasn't "too" incredibly romantic. He had talked to my Dad earlier that day to ask his permission to marry me. My Dad "lovingly" says, "What will you give me for her!?" (You gotta love my Dad.) While we were at the house he asked to excuse himself as he had to run to Publix. Yeah, Publix. So he comes back and asks me to come outside. Meanwhile, my Mother is grinning from ear to ear and I'm thinking she has gone plum crazy. So I go outside and in the seat of his truck is a red rose. And I thought "How sweet you got me a rose." Then he started to look a little pale and his voice got a little shaky and I thought he was going to pass out. Slowly he said, "Kim, first I want to tell you that I love you!" Let me back up and say that he told me when we started dating that he would never tell me that he loved me unless it was to be followed by a question. His reason? Because people use the word Love to loosely. Okay, so after the words I love you came out of his mouth, my jaw hit the floor. He then asked, "I want to know if you will marry me?" All I thought was "Duh, I've been telling you that I've wanted to marry you for 4 months now." But "YES, OH YES!" came out instead. He later apologized for not coming up with anything incredibly romantic as he thought he was going to throw up. Oh and the ring was stuck down in the rose. I almost forgot that part. So there you have it in a nut shell. Well sort of. I hope you at least found it an interesting read! LOL.

Okay I'll try and keep this other answer short. The next question was why and how I get up so early? Well with my husbands schedule he has to leave the house a little after 5am so I usually get up and pack his lunch and make his coffee for him. What you'll do for love! LOL. That and I really am a morning person. That's when I do my blogging and have quiet time.

Alright, I'm going to answer some shorter questions tomorrow and I'm keeping tabs on the new ones as well. Bring it on!

Oh and I had a GREAT idea for my Friday Funnies. In order to keep it still all about me, I'm going to reveal my most embarrassing moment AND I was thinking how fun it would be if EVERYONE did that for their Funny. Well at least those of you who are reading this and link up to my Funnies.
I'm done I promise. You've wasted enough time on me. Now go play with someone else.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
