i was imagining today

I was imagining today that I'm a grandma, telling the grandkids the story of me and Kev.

We met

became friends

he protected me

I asked him out

we had a great time

I had a conversation with God

our paths didn't cross

I dated someone

he hung out with other people

a semester passed

some prayers

(and heartbreak)

we remet

we were blessed under a chuppah

we went out for coffee

we watched LotR

a first kiss

he called my daddy

we dated exclusively

I lost some friends

he lost some friends

he asked me to the spring formal

we looked awesome

a picture was taken

a look was exchanged

he knew

I knew

the semester ended

I flew to a summer in Texas

we got to talk to one another for an hour every Saturday night

that's it

he flew down for less than 24 hours

we sent letters, otherwise

we grew

back to PBU

we grew

Christmas break

talked on the phone

decided marriage needed to/could happen

he got the ring from my daddy

asked me, under the chuppah

one awful summer apart

we grew

more heartache

tears

a semester of guidance, counseling and further friendship

we got married

the most perfect day

lived in a one-room box for five months

graduated

up and moved to Colorado

settled in there

lived 

and loved

and enjoyed God and one another

forever and ever after.
