I am Bug, and My Boyfriend is Boo. We have been
dating for 5 years and almost 1 month.
It is kinda funny though.. We met in higschool. I
have been homeschooled most my school life and
a few times gone to public school. Well in
september 1997, my Jr year I was paired up with
a girl I had met in summer driving school and a
guy that is now my love. We were assined a
science project that included going up and down
some stairs in different ways and timing them.
Since me and the other girl (Hanna) were in
skirts he had to do it. That is when I 2end
found him attractive, the first time belive
it or not that I looked at a guys but..
After a while my friend told me she liked him, so I
hooked them up. They dated for 6 months. She
treated him poorly and I flirted a lot with him,
(Just because I was a flirt, and I liked him a bit)
But because he was my friends Boyfriend so
I considered him off limits. We grew to become
very good friends and when she dumped him we grew closer.
We schedualed apointments with the school
counsilars at the same time on the same days so
we could talk, we wrote notes, and then we
started meeting infront of our school buliding, and
then hugging every morrining. And before we knew
it we liked each other. If I didn't get a hug
because he was sick and not in school I felt sad
and had a bad day. It was the same for him.
Eventually he bought a truck and started taking me
home from school. I then decided i didn't wnat
to get hurt and I prayed he would give up on me.
When we started hanging out after school and going out
to a local small airport to talk.
One night he asked to kiss me. So we did a quick
chicken peck. But the next night he was acting
weird and when he talked he started it
with we are more then friends, and I was sure he was
going to say we can't see each other any
more. My nervosness scared him though and he hugged
me and said goodbye. I went home and
cried myself to sleep again praying that he wouldn't
ask me out, I didn't wnat to get hurt again.
3 days latter on the 28th of March we went to our
usual spot and were confortable talking agian.
I had a feeling he was going to ask me out, and
I prayed God please not tonight, If he does
tonight I know it won't be you. Well he asked me
out at 12:04 am on the 29th.. So I said yes.
Our seconde major fight 8months latter on our
anaversary was when I first relized just how
much I loved him.
Ken and I have had small problems through out our
relationship, he would forget to celebrate a
holiday in any way with me, we had small fights,
and big ones, he was a bit selfish, so I would
push him away or start fights. We have had a few
rings picked out on and off, but it would always
fall through. One day I my younger sister decided she wanted to
move away for collage. So doing what I felt was
right, I offered to go and help her out. Ken and
I had a huge fight and eventually broke up in
October last year. Both of us tried dating other
people but didn't get over it.
Ken had a bit of an anger problem, though he has
never hurt me or called me names, I didn't like it.
But after 3 months of being apart we started to talk
and work things out. He started seeing a
counsoler and improving, he became a man of God,
and I noticed the changes. In December
we officially decided to try again, and have been
doing better then ever.
A few days ago he started talking about marrage,
thoug I want to marry him I was unsure. So I have
been praying about it. Sunday we spent all day
together and decided to at least go look at
rings on tuesday. Well my friend I and I went to
see another of my friends and we were going to a
tea house. When we got there we found it
closed. So we decided to brose the local and small
mall. We went into a few stores and then a Kay Jewlers.
I was browsing and couldn't help but look
at the wedding rings. I was asked about 6 times
if I needed help and I said no every time, till
a girl offered to pull the ring out that I was
staring at. I figuered what the heck, at least
I will know which one when we come tomorrow.
She then told me today only they were having
a sale. I then asked to Call him and I left a
voice mail for him to come look at the ring
and I was putting it on hold.
My friend and I then went to eat at a famillur
hotdog stand in the mall, and he told me that
Ken had also been by there today. I thought that
was cool.. We then went to walden books to
read manga.
I had to go babysit, and called to see if he got my
message, not expecting annything. He said
yes and that he had gone to look.
We then found out it was while I was in walden books
that he showed up and took care of it,
and before my friend and I had left the mall We spent
about 2 and 1/2 hours there browsing the manga)
Any waz, he hinted that he would be preposing soon
and teased me with I may have bought the ring or
not, without meaning to (I think)
the best thing ever happend tonight though April
27th at 1 am Ken Preposed to me and I aceppted...
After he did we talked a bit more about the events of
today, and how odd that everything fell into
place.. We belive it was ment to be and planned
by God. I could not be happier. And on top of it
all it is the ring I have wanted for years..
The praposal happened at the end of April.. :)
