Follow Your Heart

When we're little we always envision the person that we will spend the rest of our lives with. We dream about that perfect day when we meet that perfect someone. We wonder when it will be and how we'll come together. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to get married and have a family. Wasn't sure when or if it would ever happened, but I would dream about it. 
We all think we know what we want that person to be like, what we want their occupation to be. It doesn't usually end up the way we expect or hope it will. There's broken hearts and a million tears shed along the way. We think we find the one, but that first one never really works out like that. I know mine didn't. But, that's a part of life that we have all come to know or most of us learned to except. It was Gods' way of helping us learn from ourselves and our failures and showing us what we really want and most of all what we deserve.
I finally received my prince charming, unexpectedly and unprepared. A hot August afternoon I walked out into my driveway and see him standing there. I have never felt so complete as I did in the minute, so open, happy, excited for what was to come. I knew that very moment, that was the man I would marry. People say you know when you've met "the one". I never really believed it, maybe it was because I hadn't until that day. In that split second that I looked into his eyes, I saw my entire future, the rest of my life. HE was the one. There wasn't a doubt in my mind or nervousness in my body. I knew what I wanted and what my future held, he was it. The one person in this huge world that I had been waiting on all my life. 
We were married, I never knew I could be as happy as I was that day. 
We've been through ups and downs along our journey, trials and tribulations, joy and defeat. We have stuck together through it all, plus some. We have two beautiful children and a marriage that anyone would be dying to have. He's my best friend, my companion, my everything. He is the one person I know that I can trust and rely on more than anyone in the world. He takes care of me, no matter what. When I'm down, he lifts me up.  Has stuck by me, even at my worst. Protected me and shielded me. Loved me unconditionally. I never knew someone could love someone as much as I love him and our children. This is my life, my world, my reality. He is my prince charming. 
When your heart and mind come together and tell you it's time. Don't ignore it, follow it and you will find your happiness and yourself.

I found my dream come true and I'm living it every single day.
