Boy Meets Girl: Part Four

This is my last installment. I thought it would take a while but I am condensing this one.

May 18, 1997

After our late night at the beach I still had to be up early the next day. The coach had invited me to a family party. I was finally meeting his family, not just his parents, but his WHOLE family! Go big or go home! It was a great party, except I was getting the cold shoulder from his cousin and aunt. I had no idea why, because they didn't know me. Years later... after they got to know me and of course love me, I found out why.

This coach had actually had a girlfriend when we met. Don't worry he broke up with her the night I got his number. Well his family thought I was her. She did not make a good first impression with his family that she had met. She was clingy and wouldn't leave his side ever. Luckily we are all close now!

The night after the party was when we became official. It is always awkward when someone asks you to become someones girlfriend. There just isn't a smooth way to do it... or from what I experienced. Hell I was used to be asked through writing.

I must have been worth waiting for, because I was some sort of a prude and did not kiss him for the first month. I had issues from the past and made sure he was staying around! He did!

We had our ups and downs. I recently found out why he knew I was the one. There was a point in our relationship where we broke up for 2 weeks. During this time he was not only hanging out with me, but searching his feeling for an ex-girlfriend. One night I went out with a friend and some guy asked for our numbers. My friend gave him a fake one and I gave him my real number. I of course told him, not because I liked this guy, but to make him jealous. I wanted him to know that other guys out there were looking my way. This didn't sit well with the coach, because we got back together soon after and the ex-girlfriend was sent packing! He told me that once he figured there were other guys out there that he did not want me with anyone else!


So, now 11 years later we are going strong! This jock of a coach turned into husband and father material! I cherish my story, because this guy is and always be my first love. Not many people can say that. People have had their doubts about us and our marriage, but we are still proving them wrong every year! Some people even look at me with pity because I have not experienced more of the opposite sex. I just look at them with the same pity, because they have yet to experience the type of relationship that I have had since the ripe old age of 17.

Thanks for reading my story!

I would love to have written more details, but Princess In Training has proven to me that she does not like giving mommy much free time!
