Kimberly

My FH and I met while I was a senior and High School and he had just graduated Army bootcamp.  We dated and even moved to FL after graduation and stayed together for roughly three years.  During that time I wanted to get married and settle down, but he kept the same thought of marriage is just a piece of paper.  A few years after the breakup I met my ex husband and we had 2 children; Tommy is 8 and Delaney is 5.  I was married for roughly 5 years and then divorced.  A week after the seperation from my ex I received a message on MySpace from my FH.  We communicated for about a month by email and MySpace.  A mutual friend of ours (who we did not know knew both of us) invited my kids and I over for an end of summer pool party/BBQ and FH was there.  We talked all night and my son, who has asperger's, really loved him.  That is one thing I promised my children after their dad fell off the face of the planet, is that I would not bring someone into their lives who did not live up to their standards.  Our communication grew to telephone and park playdates with his nephew.  A year after my divorce was final FH and I moved in together and in February he proposed to me.  The proposal was actually really sweet as my children were more involved than he was.  I had to work out of town one night and he stayed home with the kids, during this time they went ring shopping.  The next morning the kids came into our room and both of them had gifts for me; two gold kid charms with each one holding their birth stones.  When I walked into the kitchen they had drawn pictures and wrote out on poster board "Mom will you Marry Skip?"  I of course said yes and we began planning right away.  The wedding is set for November 12 in his home town.
