My love story starts 17 years ago when I met Mike. I had just started working at the hospital in town, and Mike was in nursing school and working there as well. He had been divorced about a year at that time and had two young sons. I turned him down the first time he asked me out……I am so glad that reconsidered.
You see, growing up, I often had dreams of what my ideal guy would be like-tall, super-model handsome, wealthy, and doting-all wrapped into one. We would meet, fall in love, and travel theworld- just like in the movies. However, I spent so much time looking for this made up fellow, that I missed opportunities to date seemingly regular yet probably wonderful guys. As a result, I had never gotten serious with anyone.
The truth is, the dream man I made up in my head did not exist exactly as I pictured, and
I am glad. I found something even better with Mike. He accepted me – quirks and all – and made me feel special just as I was. He is my ideal mate. He is shorter than me, but bigger in
personality and still the most handsome and romantic man in the world. He is a dedicated husband and father, and I could not be luckier to have him. We have four wonderful children, and I hope
that they will be as fortunate in love as we have been.
