Never Again

On Father's Day, I was talking with my dad about my wedding ring.  I gave it to him to hold on to until I was able to sell it.  A few days before Father's Day, I realized giving my ring to my forgetful Dad was probably not the best choice.  We were talking about it at lunch.  As we were talking, I said, "Next time I'll know not to give you my ring."

Steve heard that and said, "There will never be a next time."  I just continued on and we all finished lunch.  Later, on the way back, I brought it up again and asked him what he meant.  He said that he can't wait to marry me and when he does, there will never be a divorce!

I know that what happened between Steve and I happened rather quickly, but we have known each other forever.  We have been friends for a long time and I love him so much.  I don't know what or when things will happen for Steve and me, but I am so happy.

I feel so content with my life.  I have my baby girl.  I have a relationship I have always dreamed of.  I'm okay with whatever life throws my way.  I told Steve that I love him and I just want to be with him.  I would love more children, but I don't NEED more children.  I want to marry him, but I don't NEED to rush things.  Timelines used to be a HUGE thing with Jesse and me.  I was always hung up on WHEN things would happen and I thought I needed them to happen in my time.  It's so refreshing to be in a relationship that I am just so happy and at peace with where we are.
