Update

[inflorescence]

Hello! I know most of the ladies that were around when I was are mostly engaged and probably even married by now. Just wanted to let you know I'm officially dating the man I first fell in love with over 12 years ago when we were teenagers. It's interesting how life can lead you to certain circumstances and places. Just wanted to share the good news, he's just as amazing as when we were young but now we're mature, secure and can express our emotions much better! It's an interesting dynamic because we "know" each other from before (goals, family, friends, backgrounds, culture) but are getting to know each other as adults. I'm getting butterflies just thinking about him. We live in different cities but it doesn't seem to matter as we are both extremely busy during the week anyway. He mentioned this weekend when he asked if he could call me his girlfriend() that he remembered when we were younger we created a pact to get married if neither of us were married by 35, and then he said he always hoped it would come true... haha and then said jokingly maybe it would be before then. Shockingly I wasn't freaked out. We had a very passionate/intense last few days..showed me i have really been missing out most of my life, lol! Anyways thanks for listening and for all the support and love throughout the years everyone!

That is WONDERFUL news!!! Welcome back to being happy and inlove again!! I remember your thread from (??? about???) 6 - 8 months ago and how you had such incredible strength to walk away when you knew that other relationship wasn't the right one for you. How funny life can be - the twists and turns it gives us... you just never know!

All the best for happiness from here on in!

That is wonderful!!! I am so happy for you. Believe it or not, that's very similar to what happened to my step-sister. She reconnected with an old friend from high school who said they should "look each other up" if both are still single after 30 (she's now 38, they started dating when she was about 35ish). They got engaged, and are now happily married with a one year old daughter.

So, I hope you find as much happiness as she did. Fingers crossed for you. And thanks for the update!

Congrats!! I'm so happy that things are looking up for you! It's so hard to see while you're in the midst of it all, but when you have some time away you can really see your situation for what it was. I'm so glad you're doing better!

This post made my morning! I remember you and am so happy to hear your sweet update! It's funny how life falls into place.

 

[jitterymo]

best of luck in your relationship! I love how life is funny that way... my boyfriend is also from my childhood... we did scouts together (the boys and girls meet at the same time) and he was just a year behind me in school (our school was just about 115 students all 4 grades so everyone knew everyone).

anyways, dust your way!!!

YES!!!

You two are soooo cute **hugs** thanks ladies, but there's LOTS to happen before then.

He just bought a condo and had me help him pick out all the colour schemes AND he wants me to pick out furniture/curtains... he said "it's just you and me who will be in here.. unless we're entertaining"... and continuously mentions how he would love to settle down and just elope. I just smiled... haha. (Secretly I know he only asked me because he's clueless when it comes to decorating
I may not enter the list but come on here one day and say I'm married!! Haha! That's how my family will probably find out too... just casually call them up and share the news.

I think I might have still been a lurker when you where a LIW, but I did read your threads. It is so nice that you came back with a happy update!

I am not a LIW but wanted to pst on your thread. Since our stories have a lot in common. Two years ago I married my teenage love. My DH hubby and I were together for 5 years and we got engaged when I was 20. I always say I broke both our hearts since I decided to go say the world. I thought I couldn't save the world and be married. Life went on. He got married to someone else and had a son. I had a son but didn't want to get married to my then SO. He got a divorce and I had broken up with my SO. We didn't even talk for 13 years. One day he tracked me down on facebook. We both realized we still had feelings for each other. Fast forward he moved to where I live then a month later we did elope. We went to the courthouse and got legally married. My ering is my original ring. $ months after that we had a small vow renewal on a beach with 25 people including our sons. I loved the day we eloped. We did call our families from the courthouse. There was something about having a 20 year history that made us not want to wait even long enough for our beach "wedding" which we were already planning. I also cherish our beach vow renewal. My joke to people who are a but taken aback by my life of the last few years is that I am living the movie "The notebook". So congrats on your renewed relationship. There is something every different about being with someone you have known since you were young. And if you want to elope it can be extremely special to have a day that is 100% just about the two of you.
