father's day 2014 (which seems like a month ago)

Not to get totally sentimental on you, but I have to tell you a quick story about how I ended up marrying this guy.  

Back when Jeff and I were dating while I was in college, it was really hard.  If you've ever had a long distance relationship, you know how difficult it can be.  Simple things like grabbing a kiss or seeing a smile after a long day truly make a relationship worthwhile, and when those things aren't possible because there's a distance, things can get shaky.  

For Jeff and I it was no different.  I was busy with classes and working, he was on the home front trying to run a business.  It was inevitable that we'd break up - it actually happened twice.  The second time we broke up I thought it was for good.  It was just too much trying to communicate with someone that far away, and for two people who aren't "phone people," it made it that much more challenging.

A few weeks later I was lying in my twin bed in my little apartment.  It was late morning, the sun was starting to come through my sheer curtains.  I had a vision.

Wow, I just had to stop and cry for a minute.  Sorry.

I had a vision.  It was from the viewpoint of inside a home, around sunset.  I was looking out the front window and walking across the lawn was Jeff in his sunglasses holding a little girl, about three years old.  It was our little girl.  Mine and Jeff's.

He was meant to be mine and we were meant to be together - that was it.

That night I drove home to stay at a girlfriend's house for the weekend.  As we were doing our girly thing, curling hair, hair spraying, mascara-ing, high heeling, I got a phone call...it was Jeff.

He said Wow, it is so good to hear your voice.  I said, I know.

The rest is history, you guys.  Not only is he my fab hubs, but he happens to be a phenomenal dad.  So Happy Father's Day (a few weeks late) to my guy.  You were meant to be a Daddy.
