Hi everyone! So I know that Im probably starting this WAY too prematurely, but I have so many ideas floating around in my head right now, and I think the only way to settle my poor tired brain is to start my own PJ. And since Im not really doing much work at my job these days (which will change soon, Im sure), I figured now would be a perfect time to start.
However, before I start, I just have to say that the past few weeks that Ive been lurking on the DISboards has been wonderful! Everyone on this site has such great advice for all my fellow Disney lovers! And what neither I nor my DF can believe is all the past Disney brides that continue to post and give such wonderful information (Lurkyloo you must spend A LOT of time on here!). I really feel like this little community is quite a special group of people (I cant exactly say gals, because Ive seen the guys on here too!) and I just want to thank everyone who has given me so many great ideas so far! And now on with the show!
First, a little background on the happy couple The first thing people always ask me when I talk about Danny (DF) is where did we meet? And I always tell them all the same thing: This one time at band camp Then they just laugh at me , and I have to say No, really. Danny (then DB) and I met during high school band camp (I know, I was a TOTAL band geek!) during my junior year, his freshman year (I am a total cradle robber). He was sitting on the grass during one of our breaks wearing fake Oakley sunglass and a backwards baseball cap. I saw him and turned to my best friend (Brooke, MOH) and said Doesnt he think hes cool, in a very snooty tone. We laughed about it, but later that day I told her that I actually thought he was kinda cute. Well you know how high school girls can be She and a few of my other friends ran over to him and his friends and told him (of course) and we started talking. Later that evening he called me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I figured, what the heck, and said yes. We dated all through the remainder of high school, only to break up shortly after I started college. The age difference (less than 2 years) was really a barrier which I hadnt overcome, basically because of all the crap I heard from my college friends (Youre still dating a high-schooler?), so I broke up with him and started dating a cool college guy (or so I thought).
BTW, Im seriously trying not to turn this into a novel
So I remained with the cool college guy (who shall remain nameless) for over 4 years (we were engaged for over 2 of them), only to find out that he had been cheating on me for a long time. I was heartbroken. I felt so betrayed and the only thing I could think about was that this must be karma getting back at me, after what I had done to DB years before. My mother had always talked about him, saying I miss Danny, and me saying Mo-om, dont say that! Through the years I had heard about how he was doing, and that after high school he had joined the Navy. I had also heard that he was currently deployed to Iraq, which made me think about him even more. So I decided to take a leap of faith and use his way, way old email address and send him a letter. It was very vague, basically apologizing for anything I ever did that could ever hurt him. I never expected to get a response, but the next day I received an email from him saying that he was glad everything happened the way it did, and there was no need for me to apologize for anything. He also told me he was coming home from his deployment in Iraq very soon, and would like to see me. When he returned we went on a non-date to a local park that held lots of memories for us. I remember how he unexpectedly took my hand and all the feelings I had for him before came back and hit me like a ton of bricks! Weve been together for over 3 ½ years now, and I couldnt imagine my life without him in it!
Wow, Im really trying to keep this short, however I guess Ive gotten carried away. More of the story to come
