We met when Kyle was living with his coworker and I was dating this same coworker. We spent 2 years with a " you're my roommates girlfriend so i'll tolerate you" type friendship. We would occasionally flip each other the bird because well why not? I would make jokes about stealing Kyle's dog and being her step mom... I was unaware I would literally be her step mom. My relationship ended and we went our separate ways and one night Kyle sent me a text asking what happened .(nosey) We talked it over a bit and he learned my toes were back in the dating pool so he asked me out. It took a lot of convincing on my own part to get me to go but I figured its Kyle, the guy you spent two years randomly flipping off and annoying about his dog, it's not going anywhere. Well little did I know that drinks would turn into a lot more and this guy that I thought was just funny and a bachelor, was actually really sweet and made me feel like I was the only girl in a crowded sports bar. We talked about life and why we were single ,and what we wanted. I told him I wanted a life partner ,family ,and those were all things I was missing. I thought for sure he'd be scared off and run for the hills,clearly he's a bachelor and not wanting commitment, but he didn't. After that date he danced with me in the parking lot and made me completely melt. I swooned hard. I quickly realized shit this could be going somewhere.The days following we talked and wanted to see each other ...a lot. We became more and more connected and inseparable. We tried to spend as much of our free time as we could together and I felt genuinely giddy like a school girl because, he would miss me when I was gone even if it was only 6 miles away. A few months later things were going great and I got some news... I was pregnant...with twins.(insert panic here) I thought for sure "well this was it he was leaving" and he didn't. He loved me and loved my daughter Kaylee and he was staying. I made sure to ask repeatedly if he was staying because he wanted me or because he thought he had to. Apparently, he just loved me (imagine that) ,and the decision to stay wasn't a decision at all because leaving didn't cross his mind. We told our families and several months later we moved in together. Our lives blended together pretty easily and there was no weird adjustments like I expected. We went from 2 people in love ,to a family of 3 ,to a family of 5! Our twins were born and we learned to navigate parenthood and our relationship. We had bumps along the way but we made it through. He proposed Christmas morning with my family around and us ,in our Christmas jammies ,and with all of our kids on our first Christmas as a family. It couldn't have been more perfect and even though he couldn't find the words ,the obvious answer was YES!
