Rob and I have know eachother for quite sometime now but I dont think either of us could have imagined this years ago. Rob was friends with my brother and I was the annoying little sister haha. Over the years we saw eachother every so ofter at gatherings or outand there was always obvious flirting but nothing ever came of it.
In the fall of 2007 Rob started a lancscaping project for my parents and became pretty close with my dad. I was living at home at the time so I saw him quite often. The longer he was working there the more he would stay after to have dinner with us or a beer with my dad. (He is convinced my parents scheemed it up haha) So over the next month or so we began to talk more and spend alot of time togetherat the house but I would never go out with him. He tried to ask me to dinner or out numerous times and I always told him no or had an excuse why I couldnt go...A few weeks before Christmas he came over and told me he had a early Christmas present for me.....He handed me a electrical tape mess!! He had taken two gift cards and wraped them in wraping paper and COVERED it in electrical tape and told me to have fun and walked outside to go to work. After some laughing and cussing I got it opened and found a giftcard for the movies and ice cream.
I was gone when he left to go home that day so I didnt see him again. That evening I txt him and to say thank you and asked him if that was supposed to be a hint and if I had to take him to use them (by this point totally hoping he would say yes and I didnt say no to many times haha). Of course he had some sarcastic response to my sarcastic question and said that thats what he was hoping. The following week we went out for the first time, movie and ice cream and have been attached ever since.
He is absolutely my best friend and together we have been through so much but there is noone else in this world I would want beside me through it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. He keeps me sane when Im a mess, smiling when I want to cry and laughing when I want to scream. We are truely blessed with what we have!!!!
" May we have enough happiness to make us sweet, enough trials to make us strong, enough sorrow to keep us human enough hope to make us happy.”
