My Life is Perfect

Chapter 3

It took me four years total to get my Associates degree in business management and both my pastry and culinary arts certificates. I was 22, finished with college, and ready to concur the world.

When I finished college, I was ready to live life. I made friends while I was going to school and between them and my old friends from high school, I was pretty happy. There was just one thing missing... With my sole focus being on graduating high school then college, I stopped having much of a love life, not that I was good to begin with, but I had stopped trying to find love. The one thing I always dreamed of having, a living boyfriend turned husband.

After what seemed like an eternity of being single, I realized that my dates weren't turning into relationships because of me. I never thought about about I much, but I was already in love with someone except he didn't know. I met this guy through friends. This guy was a student at SWOCC. He and I became close very fast and soon he was my best guy friend. Neither of us thought anything of the things we did; we cuddled, on occasion we had slept in the same bed together (nothing sexual), we would go to the movies or dinner just the two of us, and we would hold hands. I never thought about it, but I had fallen in love with him and that's why doing all those things with him never bothered me. I had fallen in love with my best friend and he didn't know. I knew I had to tell him because if he would have gotten into a relationship it would have broken my heart. So one night as we were watching a movie in our apartment, I turned to him and blurted out that I loved him. Before I could run or apologize, he laid his hand on my cheek, leaned in to kissed me, and pulled away to tell me he loved me too and that I was still much braver than I was. After debating about who is braver and why, we decided it would be smart to officially start dating so we did. Not only was my family happy, so was his. We dated for months with turned into three years before one night, a dinner with both of our families, he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. I don't I actually said yes, I'm pretty sure I just started crying, happy tears of course, and nodded my head. I didn't think I could get any happier.

March 25, 2024, the day I married the love of my life. I definitely didn't think I could be any happier.
