Our love Story

Jeremy and I grew up together. We both went to Clear Spring Baptist Church together when we were growing up. So We knew each other but other than saying hi maybe every now and then We never talked. I had been in a bad relationship and after that was so afraid of being hurt that I wouldnt let anyone get close to me. So when I finally did again it ended badly and very unexpectedly and I said the end. I swore off love period. No more getting hurt for me. So I had just turned 18 and my parents bought me a car :)!! They bought the car from Jeremy it was a 99 Honda Civic. So One night at Our churches  vacation bible school picnic. I walked by Jeremy and said man I love the car!! and We began talking and He high fived me but when he did I never let go and we just held each others hand for a few seconds. So i finally let go We talked for a minute longer then I went hurried away into the fellowship hall with my mom, my cousin Lacey, and her mom Kathy. I walked up to them and said " I think I just held Jeremys hand!!!!" Of course there conversation stopped and all focus was on me. One of them said "You think?" One said "Why?" and the other said "Malone?"  They were as frazzled as me and after I explained the story the big question was why do you think you did that ? Of course my answer was I have no idea. I dont think I even meant to. Anyway after the intial shock of it I went on and thought nothing about it. Then a few days later I get a message on MySpace from Jeremy (I know very romantic huh haha) So he asked me if I wanted to go out sometime. Now keep in mind I had sworn off love. So I thought what the heck its Jeremy What could it hurt. So I said yes and then of course I told my mom. Then I called my cousin lacey I still remember her saying "How Wierd!" Then a long pause then "Oh my gosh Did you say yes?" Now dont get me wrong We all liked Jeremy but he was just Jeremy and none of us thought of him like that. He is 4 years older than us which when your grown is no big deal but when your 14 and 10 its kinda a big deal. So anyway I was scared and ended up canceling a few dates but he was very persistant. So on June 22, 2007 after church We went on our first date. So we left church together and of course both our moms knew but I guess Jeremy hadnt told his Dad and Poor Larry saw me get in the truck and was freaking out. "Where are they going " "Whats going on" So we went on our first date and a couple more and before I could stop myself I was in love. Of course I had been in love before and it had ended badly so I was still so afraid to let my guard down and the deeper I got the more scared I got. I broke up with Jeremy 3 different times. It still breaks my heart to think about each time and the hurt on his face.  The last time We were actually broke up about 3 weeks and someone set him up with a girl I knew and it just so happened When they went out I saw them together. I can still remember how bad it hurt. I rememeber how hard I cried when I got home and I knew at that moment I had to get him back and I promised myself if I did I would never let him go again. Wasn't long and we were back together. Things were better than ever because I completely let my guard down and truly loved him the way He had been loving me the whole time. Three weeks later on Feburary 16, 2008 I got my engagement ring. We knew We didnt want a long engagement so i planned super fast and on April 19th 2008 we were married. Life hasnt been all rainbows and butterflys but you have to withstand the rain to see the rainbow. We have been married 4 years and Are still very much in love. Thats our story its not very romantic and its probably boring to most but it is and always will be very special to us.
