Jon and Kit

I’m very happy coz today is our 5th year anniversary. it’s been 5 years since we’ve been together. there’s not a day I don’t look back at the memories we’ve shared since. 5 painstaking years I learned a lot from him. he keeps telling me I wasn’t the “Kit” he used to know the very first time he met me. I was very child like, a cry baby, a brat.. you can go on everything about me. I always called ourselves the may-december affair, for I thought that my birthday was may and his birthday was on december. I’ve learned a lot from him, just like I was saying. he taught me everything about what a relationship was like. we had really gone through tough times and I say they weren’t easy. I almost gave up.. but he was always there to pick me up. cheer me up when my days were down. we may not exchange expensive gifts, or spend a quiet evening out on a candlelit dinner, expecting bouquets of roses, we’re not like that..and who cares anyway? we didn’t mind. as long as we’re together we vowed to love and care for each other in sickness and in health, we may be rich or poor, we will make it work as long as our love for each other remains the same. I feel so sappy and mushy whenever I hear or watch stories about love and how they lived and grew old together. me and hubby loevs the music from Adam sandler’s the wedding singer, “grow old with you”. it’s just wonderful, coz it’s true. we fight sometimes and quarrell on those itty bitty things, but it just makes our love grow even better each day. to reflect our love on this special day I decided to tell our story each year, I know it’s aready a tradition for me to do that…

so here’s our story…

I met my hubby when i was 18 and he was like 11 years older than me. it’s so funny, really. I first met his mom and later on she told me to meet her son who’s vacationing in hawaii.

JAN.17, 2002- when i got a text message from him,i was really surprised coz he sent it to me early in the morning. it was a sweet greeting but i didn’t had any idea who sent it to me! *I’ve never met him yet* then a month when by…

FEB.14, 2002- I came home from school and guess what? i was so shocked to see a box of fresh white roses on the table. i rushed to see who sent it, i read the name ‘Jhon’ at the bottom after saying happy valentines day. there was this mixed feeling of excitement and confusion coz I still have no idea who he was!!!

FEB.17, 2002- we decided to see each other and have dinner out that night. I was totally nervous. my heart pounding so fast! when i first saw him i knew he would be special to me. he took me to a restaurant by the ocean. I love the ocean breeze so much it was so nice of him to take me there. we had a fun night talked about a lot of things in life. he was so cool and a very gentleman indeed. *sigh..* we drove around the city and after that night when i got home he flooded me with sweet messages and i just could’nt resist erasing his messages on my phone. what’s really weird is i disliked dating men with such a long age gap than mine. it was only a week we were officially on then. it was pretty early but i knew he was the man i was going to marry. the white rose was a sign, coz back in high school i told my friends only the guy who gives me white roses will marry me. coincidence or what?? believe me no one has ever gave me a rose before!!

FEB. 24, 2002- we had a few dates by “the coffee shop” by bo. barretto. that restaurant was one of the memorable places ever. he brought me barbecue all the time *yum* we became very intimate *blush* and that was at the ocean view beach at a small cottage. we were just looking at the stars, he was hugging me since it was officially US hehee. so we were just talking and all of a sudden he was talkin’ about marriage! I’m like na-uh, are you kidding me?? marriage was a no-no for me at that time. I didn’t know what to expect! the he got my hands and proposed to me “will you marry me?” and I was just speechless coz I know he was only kidding. but from the way he talks it was just serious. hello, I told myself I’m only 18 for crying out loud! this can’t be happening. but from time to time I was already in love with him. and yes, while my love for him was getting bigger so did I. I gained a few extra pounds coz of his “pasalubongs” and eating out all the time.

MAY 6, 2002- on my 19th bday he gave me a ring that matched his ring which will be our wedding bands he designed it and kept it until the right girl comes.

JULY 25, 2002- the happiest day ever!!! we weren’t married in a church but it was only a civil wedding. i didn’t mind… i gave my hubby a notebook made by me on our 1st yr. in it was a compilation of the messages he sent to me. he was so surprised and touched coz it was so full! yep.. it was sure a treasure.

now we have a lil toddler that’s almost 4 yrs. old, the story still continues…^_^
