OK so what a better place to start than the beginning right?
In Nov. 2005 fresh out of high school I had to find a job. I started working at Shop N Kart as a cashier before too long I was really getting into the swing of things. After about a month Robert came though my line just to harass me. When he realized I pitched it right back he began to flirt, and of course I flirted back. It was that day I really saw him. Before then he was just the annoying guy I called for price checks. Before long we were talking nightly on the phone and everyday at work. I would make an excuse just to see him when I was off. Lets just say I should be a partial owner of Fuji apples and Tillamook yogurt.
After three weeks of talking I came into the store one night and got my regular Fuji apple and Tillamook yogurt, but this night was different Robert followed me out to "collect carts" and we stood and talked for an hour or more, this man would not let me go to my car to get my coat and let me tell you it was in the low 30's outside. That night when he got off work and called me I told him he owed me, for making me stand outside in the freezing cold. He then asked me to be his girlfriend and GUESS WHAT!!! I said NO!! I said no because who asks someone out over the phone. Surely I was not going to be courted that way. The next day I surprised him at work and he sat in my brothers car and asked me to be his girl, this time of course I said YES!! It was then we had our first kiss and let me tell you I felt that from my head to my toes and EVERYWHERE in between. It was then I knew I had found "The One." I had never felt that way before when I kissed anyone.
It was the next day Dec. 22 I went to his parents house to meet them and they lived what seemed like out in the middle of no where, I thought for sure he was taking me somewhere to kill me. Cause really who has you meet their parents on day two of dating? We sat and talked for hours and made our for over half the night after his parents went to work. It was then I fell in love. I never did tell him till later tho.
As our relationship was new and fresh it was not smooth sailing and not to bore you more then you may already be lets just say they called our relationship a "light switch" we were on and off all the time, weekly really. Here's the story behind that.
I was 19 when Robert and I started dating. He was 26.
Robert has had two serious girlfriends. Me and his ex-wife Jen. Now I'm not going to get into that whole story but lets just make a long story short. He was married for three months before separating because she didn't know how to keep their bed clean. Needless to say Robert had some trust issues along with the fear of letting someone in again and not get hurt. So our relationship was very much a rollar coaster.
On Feb. 12, 2006 I was sitting at his house waiting to surprise him and more anxious then ever because this was the night I knew I was defiantly in love with this man and I wanted him to know. He came in the house and with tear filled eyes I told him "We need to Talk." I told him I needed to tell him something and he said he also had something also. I let him go first hoping he was going to say I Love You first.... and he did!! I was so happy. I had never told someone that before or even came close to feeling that way before him.
Needless to say after that our relationship got worse he started pulling away and wanting to run. Nov. 9 2006 was the worst day of my life. I went down to Oregon to visit and was raped. Robert drove all night to come get me from the hospital after I was examined. Even though we were broken up at the time he was there for me it was then I was reassured him and I would be together forever. Robert stood by me through all the emotions and hell I went though. He then became not only my boyfriend but my best friend, but he continued to tell me he was never getting married again. I just stood by and waited until he came to his senses. After 3 years of waiting, breaking up, open relationships, living together, and constant arguing he finally asked me to marry him.
Nov. 15th 2008 was our wedding date....but Nov. 1 2008 I had some second thoughts and we had still a lot of issues to work through before I could walk down the isle. So I called off our wedding 2 weeks before. After that Robert and I separated and lived in different places.
Months later I found out I was 9 weeks pregnant. To my surprise I got pregnant after not using any birth control for three years. I called Robert and told him we needed to talk. At this time he was going out and trying to forget about everything. We met at my house and I told him that I was pregnant. Let me tell you that was the happiest I had seen him in awhile. I thought it was exactly what we needed to get over this trust hurtle.
After finding out I was pregnant we still lived separate but stayed with each other a few times a week. He was still doing his thing while I did mine. Then I started having issues with my pregnancy and was told told to take it easy. So Robert and I moved in together after living apart for 3 months.
After that the pregnancy seemed to be going fine and Robert and I were doing OK, but I still wasn't sure he was the one anymore or that he had changed. So I decided we needed to live apart.... far apart I planned on Moving to Missouri with my parents and he could come later if he wanted. I would leave in May after my rap case was settled.
March 12th 2009 I had a miscarriage. His umbilical cord had wrapped around his neck and he died. It was the saddest day for the both of us. It was then I knew I really needed to move and really truly figure out if Robert and I were meant to be.
I left for Missouri in May and it wasn't long before we both realized how much we loved one another and wanted to be together. We lived apart for three months before I moved back to Washington. We then decided it was time to tie the knot. So we did Nov. 18, 2009 at Ocean Shores with just his parents our witness' and my parents on the phone, and of course the minister. It was the best day of my life. I married my best friend. So then begins Chapter 2 as Mrs. Sullivan.....
Coming Soon.....
