How did I get so lucky?

I know people who go through life thinking one thing but doing another. I know people who seemingly have the perfect life but ends up being the worst.

I honestly don’t know how I got so lucky. I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year now. He gave me a promise ring back in February on Valentine’s Day. To people who don’t know us, that seems super rushed, considering we had only been dating a month and a half. But to people who did know us knew that our relationship was a long time coming.

We knew each other in high school and were best friends. After high school we were still best friends. We didn’t talk every day or even hang out, but we were best friends.

We hung out for the very first time November 2016. I was so nervous because I had this huge crush on him since sophomore year of high school and I graduated in 2013, so three years later we were finally hanging out.

On December 26 2016, we made it official. I knew immediately I’d spend the rest of my life with him. And he knew it too.

February 2017 came around and for Valentine’s Day he got me a promise ring.

It was the perfect size and he had spent so much on it that he was so excited to give it to me. It was over $500, and price doesn’t matter to me. I’d just like to point out that no guy had EVER spent that much money on me, let alone $100.

In July 2017, I told him I was pregnant. He was so excited and even cried Who would’ve thought we’d be having a baby together??

Our little baby grew and we grew as a couple. We talked about marriage and what we saw in the future.

But he told me he didn’t want to propose while I was pregnant. Because he didn’t want me or anyone else to think that was the only reason he did it.

But for Christmas i jokingly got us matching coffee cups that said Mr. & Mrs. I didn’t want him to think they were lame, but after he opened his on christmas eve, he admitted that he had thought about doing the same thing as a gift.

He admitted that a proposal could’ve happened earlier in the year, but as I had said before, he wanted to wait until our little baby was here.

I don’t know how I got so lucky. I really don’t. I never imagined we’d end up together, let alone have our own family.

To other people, what we do might seem childish or stupid. Promise rings? Coffee mugs with marital things written on them? Referring to each other as husband and wife?

But that’s us. I can’t wait until one day he does surprise me with a proposal. He already talks about how I deserve nothing but the best and he wants to spend a lot of money on a ring, but money isn’t important to me. I never imagined this happening. After years of depression and self harm, I finally found what truly makes me happy.

If you enjoy doing something, even as ridiculous as buying coffee cups that have Mrs. & Mr. on them, don’t let people tell you that’s stupid. If it makes you happy, do it.

He’s my best friend and the love of my life.

I hope everyone is as happy as I am some day 💕
