Our Love Story

My hubby and I are not your typical love story. We actually didn't like each other when we first met. We met in college. He was a few years ahead of me. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we had the same class. It was all about nutrition. And it bored me to death. Drew felt the same way. Many days he and his friends, who always sat behind me and my friends, would sleep.

But we didn't like each other. We'd run into each other in our building. We were in in the same college, but pursuing different degrees. And every time I would see him in the computer lab, or the snack bar, he seemed annoyed with me. I wasn't too happy about seeing him either. Often he was covered in hay or dirt, because his classes where out in the fields.

In that same annoying nutrition class, I met my friend Lola. She is in a band. And she invited me to a concert that she was playing in. I didn't know what I was getting into. It was at that show that my entire life would change.

Drew is good friends with all the guys in the band. And he was there too. Before I knew it, the 2 of us were talking. And talk we did. All night long! Way past the end of the concert, we sat and talked. J invited everyone over to his house for a big bonfire. Drew and I went. That was the night, he stole my heart.

It was unexpected. I had, had a previously horrible relationship. And I was not looking for a new relationship. I didn't want one. But I found Drew. Or he found me. And that my friends, was the beginning of this love.

We endured the endless teasing of friends, classmates, and roommates. But Drew and I were just enjoying each other. We didn't care what people thought. Well, my hubby graduated last May. And J offered him a job. Which he happily accepted. Just so he could stay here. And be close to me. I still needed about 2 years on my degree.

That was in May 2009. Drew got his own place. And I stayed living with my roommate. Then in September, we took a trip to Las Vegas. Drew was working in Reno. And we just decided to go to Las Vegas for the night. We must have been feeling adventurous. Because we got married! At the Little White Chapel. And not more than a month later, we found out we were expecting. Don't tell my dad, but I was pregnant when we got married. I didn't know it at the time.

Isn't it crazy how things happen? We wanted kids. We just didn't know it was going to happen so quickly! And now that I look back on things, I'm glad we got married when and how we did. My hubby continued to travel with work until November. Then he asked J for a position that would keep him close to home. That was a blessing. I also took a break from college. This is the first semester I've been off.

Now I'm about 27 weeks. And we're so excited! This summer, we'll have a little one. To love and to hold. I honestly hope that our baby looks like my hubby. There are so many things I want to share with our little one. But most of all, I want to share our love.
