Before hand, I would like to apologize for the "Mushy Gushy" blog.!
... When I first "met" Kyle in High School I was a freshman and he was a sophmore, we shared the same lunch --- where we only sat one table apart. I had no idea who he was, but I knew a couple of his friends who used to ask me everyday: "When are you going to hook up with my boy Kyle?" .... HA!! I was NOT interested! I would always tell them, "NEVER!!!"
The following summer my friend and I were hanging out at my neighborhood pool and Kyle was there with a couple of his friends, but he was not talk to me at all, much less even look in my direction.!!
-- That night I got a phone call from a number that I did not recognize, and sure enough it was Kyle.! We talked on the phone for FIVE hours... CRAZY RIGHT?
We continued having phone conversations the rest of summer; school started a month later. Kyle was my ride to and from school... but we were ONLY "Friends!" About five months went by and I was really starting to like this kid, but he still had not asked me to be his girlfriend. When October came around some of myne and his friends thought it would be kind of funny to decorate his truck while he was at work with balloons and posters that said "ask her out!"
That same night we were on the phone really late being really "lame" asking random questions, like: "What is your favorite Color? Movie? Show? IceCream?" ... etc... and he said okay one more question: "Will you be my girlfriend?" It was so kuute in his little way and I was so caught off guard by it that I did not respond at first and he told me: "never-mind, never-mind... I take that as a NO.!" hahaha, I had to convince him that my answer was YES, that I just was not expecting that question.
... The funniest part was that he also asked me not to tell anyone, and he asked if he could ask me again in the morning so no one would make fun of him for asking me over the phone.!
The first time I said YES to Kyle, was October 27, 2006.!!
We were definitely a High School Couple, but I don't know if I would say we were "High School Sweethearts!" We were young and had a lot of growing and changing to do, and sometimes it tore us a part. But we learned to grow together! That was the most amazing part about our relationship, we changed and grew into better versions of ourselves, and we did this together!
I am so Thankful for Kyle, he really has been here with me through so much, from family deaths, cheering me on at softball games, and the BIGGEST of all... the day the doctor told me I can not have a Baby!
... Babies were the furthest thing from our minds, but it is still something we both always imagined! We used to joke that "if" we ever had a baby girl, she would probably have Kyle's big ears and sideburns, but have my eyes and my body! haha! It was hard to hear that everything we imagined may no longer be possible! Kyle helped make me stronger, which is amazing! I have always heard terrible things about guys leaving girls because they can not carry his baby, or keep his family name alive and going. So to know that Kyle was still by my side through all of this.. is the Best thing I could ever ask for.!!
... especially with my mood swings hahaha, being menopausal is no fun and the hormone pills do NOT help! hahaha --- Thank you Kyle.!!
On October 27, 2011, Our Five Year Anniversary, Kyle got us a room at the San Louis resort in Galveston on the Sea Wall. When we came back to the room from dinner, it was completely decorated with candles and rose pedals, and on the bed in rose pedals it said, "Will You Marry Me?" I knew that if this boy was proposing to me even after everything we have been through that we can make it through anything!
This was the Second Time I told Kyle YES.!
Today is our SIX year anniversary and I am still very much in love with this man. We are planning our wedding... and in Nine short months I can officially call Kyle my husband, and I will be Samantha Gannon!!
We plan to enjoy a year of marriage before looking into egg donation fertility treatments, so until then I know I have a fiance' and soon to be Husband who supports me and is here for me anytime I am feeling weak, to make me feel Strong Again.!!!
HAPPY 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY KYLE LEE GANNON.!
