"It's the simple things that matter"
| Just like all couples who have a difference of beliefs and views between partners, Jen and I have different opinions for what romance is. Well, since my opinions were wrong, Jen has had to teach me how to be romantic. She says I'm making progress. LOL
She has taught me the true meaning to the "It's the thought that counts" philosophy. She has brought me for a surprise picnic on the beach on Father's Day. She has taken the time make me Birthday cards with my two beautiful daughters that she has given me. (Angelina 5 , Abigail 2)
I let her know that I love her by thanking her sincerely and complementing her on the tasks she does. The tedious things that are so easy for a guy like me to take for granted. ie. Doing dishes, making the bed, feeding the children, etc.
Sure we kiss at red lights, try new positions in bed , dim the lights and light some candles for a quiet dinner without the kids, but that isn't entirely our idea of romance.
For me romance is that feeling of being seemingly physically and mystically connected to Jen through that emotion. It takes time, dedication, devotion, trials, tribulations and a lot of hard work to develop that connection. I am grateful that we have been able to make that connection and I know that this is just the beginning. |
| I proposed to Jen on October 4, 2004, exactly nine months after we first met. We set our date for December 15, 2006 and spent the following two years shopping for a home and planning our wedding. We closed on our home October 27, 2006 and unfortunately had to spend our savings to secure our mortgage. On November 5, 2007 I was involved in a motor vehicle vs. pedestrian accident in which I was the pedestrian. I was dragged over 500 ft. and my left foot and ankle was run over in the process sustaining severe trauma. I subsequently lost my position at work so I have taken this unfortunate accident as an opportunity to spend time with my family while I recover.
Jen and I have put so much time and energy sharing our ideals and desires for our wedding, I know we will adapt when the opportunity arises. We are a resourceful and frugal family.
Being a sensitive and emotional guy, I know that I will be overjoyed on our special day! |
