So October 21,2009 I had my son Cole Patrick. He is my world and i would do anything for him (no questions asked). His father and i weren't meant to be together so a year later we started our journey as a 2 person family. It was a hard choice but it was needed and for the best. So for the year of 2011 Cole and i were a 2 person family and loving it very much. I always knew something was missing but i wasn't going out looking for a man to complete my life. As far as i was concerned i had the perfect man in my life.Around August of 2011 my cell phone kept acting up so i had to go into Verizon to get it looked at. That is when i met John Berg :-) Unbeknownst to me, he fixed my phone just enough to last a few days and for me to return 5 times that month. Clever if i do so say myself. On September 18 i went to one of his classes and schooled him on my phone. Lol, but in that time he completely deleted all of my phone numbers. Then 6 hours later and a new friend later (Emily) i went home. Now that night i posted on facebook about how i hated my phone and couldn't go to Verizon because they were closed. I got a text maybe 10 mins later from a number i did not know (or i did but without contacts i didn't know if i knew them). When i asked who it was Johns reply was " The ass that deleted all your contacts" i told him he wasn't an ass. But I had no idea that that was going to b the beginning of the rest of mine and Cole's life. I asked john out on our first "day date"on September 20th because i really wanted to go mini golfing and let me tell you how bad of a mini golfer he is even though he tries to pretend that he let me win. After i think a 8 hour day together it was time to part ways. But we were constantly talking and seeing each other.
September into October was a rough time for me with my job and some family issues. The whole time John was there for me. barely knew me but never left my side when i needed someone to talk to or lean on. I knew he was a keeper but i was scared. I wasn't used to someone being so kind and sweet and pretty much the male version of myself. We started dating on Cole's 2nd birthday and he at that time he met my family. They instantly loved him. How could they not he was the sweetest guy ever.
Not gonna lie come November I got scared bc i felt like i was moving to fast with him and has to take a break. I know it was hard on him and i didn't want to hurt him but I as a mother first wanted to make sure that i was making the best choiced for my son and myself. Now if you ask John he will tell you that he has know since the first day he met me that i was "the one." I look at him and laugh because it took me a little longer because it wasn't just my life it was my sons also.I also knew in my heart that he was the one i couldn't live without. They way him and Cole got along and how much you could see they already loved each other, it was hard to deny that this was my happy ending. Not only did my family adore this man as much as i did, but johns family accepted Cole and i with open arms and love within a matter of months. Cole and i felt the same way. I was talking to Johns mom almost everyday and enjoyed our conversations. Cole fell in love with Johns family just as quick.
February 2012 John and I planned on moving in together come March 1st. But more to everyones surprise and in away mine and Johns, we had a BIGGER announcement. On Feb 29 2012 ( leap year ), we were getting married. i thought Johns mom was going to kill me and boy was i shaking like no tomorrow when we told her. Now she is the heart of his family so she was the first one we told. She didn't object, which made us happy and neither did anyone in his family, BUT she tried hard to get me to change the wedding date (because we only did give 1 week notice lol) but because john and i had a unique relationship the date fit us so of course i didn't change it. She did do the normal mom thing of asking if we were sure and my response was this " i wouldn't be getting married if i wasn't sure" plus she wanted to make sure i wasn't going to take her son from her. My reply is hell ill send him to you lol. In one week my wedding was put together and it was perfect. I never wanted a huge wedding so it was small with about 30 people mainly family and even though my mom couldn't be there, she was VIA skype with my cousins.That day was the beginning of my perfect life.
FEB 29,2012
We had a fun and amazing Easter as a new family
In June John, Cole and I went to my home state of Oregon for our honeymoon/family vacation. It was the GREATEST thing ever. Now it had been many years since i was there but it felt like i never left at all and to top it off my family loved it there as much as i still do. My new husband was actually asking my dad to call us in dead so we didn't have to come back. that was the funniest thing ever. But i wasn't 100% against it either lol. I had a blast showing my family where i was from.
Beautiful in every way possible!!!!
Now here we are in august and we found out that we were expanding our family by 1. We were excited and couldn't wait. We found out in December right before Christmas that we were having a little girl that we have named Rhylyn Laurel Berg. And honestly i don't know who is more excited john, me or Cole (I'm going with Cole).And that brings you up to now!!!!
We have a little over 4 weeks to go before our little girl is home. Cole asks me everyday is his sister is home yet. He helped paint her room, set up her furniture and prepare all the fun stuff. Every night that he is home he has to "cuddle with his sister" and sing to her. He is already in love with her that it makes me feel more blessed then ever.
So i think i have caught you up to now lol. My family is perfect. My son loves Daddy John more then me when he is home. Which is the best feeling in the world. My relationship with my in-laws is perfect and the way i always dreamed it would be when i got married and my husbands relationship with my family is the exact same. We were meant to be together and a family. We all fit like the perfect puzzle. And a BIG family is what Cole and i got. there is so much love that i couldn't ask for anything more or less. John and I never fight (well we do now because my hormones are bad at times lol) we talk about everything. We don't lie to each other or keep secrets from each other unless it has to do with surprises.And now my family is complete. I didn't look for love i actually gave up but when fate has a hand in your life you know. I truly believe this was fate. I married my best friend and i couldn't be any happier. And in a matter of weeks we will be making our family bigger.Our life is negativity and drama free. Our house is a home and it is filled with love. They say a happy wife makes a happy life, well there wrong a happy family makes a happy life. I hope everyone finds the love and happiness that i have found or shall i say has found me and Cole. God bless you all!!!!
