Hello everyone,
I guess I should start this out by saying this is somewhat new to me. Not the marriage thing, but the posting. HAHA. This is going to be my fourth wedding, but i know i have it right this time. Jerry and I met on an online dating site almost a year ago. We started talking late one night and haven't stopped since. We decided to meet after only talking for a couple of weeks. This was new for me because normally I would not meet anyone for a long time. New to Jerry as well. But we just seemed to click. We were both honest and sincere in what we were looking for in life. In all honesty I was only looking to date someone and he as well. We met as said about two weeks after talking online. Of course by then we had exchanged phone numbers and talked on the phone numerous times. we met at a mutual place to eat lunch. We had already learned we had several things in common with each other. I can't say it was love at first sight. But i can say this: i left wondering if he would even call again. Only because he was such a gentleman to me. We dated for about 3 months and i had already told him i had a 3 strike your out rule. he got his first strike when he cancelled a date one evening on short notice. To make up for his strike he surprised me with tickets to the nextel nascar cup races in Oct. of last year for four days away. Needless to say he did not receive that strike after all. We had the most wonderful time together. I can count on him to make me laugh, cry and blush without even trying. I can count on him as my rock. he in turn can do the same of me. When we first started dating I had told him I would not move to another town or marry for that matter till my teenage daughter gradguated high school. This was for another 3 years, not till 2009. We continued seeing each other anyway. We both had decided to stay open to whatever might happen. My daughter fell for him over a period of time. she as well could not believe how nice he treated her and I. I had been in two abusive marriages before. So she is extremely cautious in nature. Jerry proposed to me of all places at my daughters fathers house. We have a good relationship (father of children). We had gone to ask his blessing on the us possibly moving in together. After receiving his blessing on this as well as my daughters the next morning Jerry told me he wanted to do it right. I asked what he meant by that. he got down on one knee in bed (we had just woke up) and proposed to me then and there. Naturally i said yes. So we have set the date for May 21st. My daughter and i moved in with him and his two children a little over a month ago. It is taking some used to me having smaller children around. I have granchildren and jerry started his family after he was older. Jerry is 5 years younger than me. But we are all adjusting well and the kids all get along nicely. jerry has joint custody of them and they are almost always at our house now that they have a big sister. We are so happy and excited. Even though we are the ages of 38 and 44 we act much like teenagers. i guess we are at heart. For neither of us ever thought we would find someone who shares as much as we do with one another. so this is my story.......
