Falling in love with Reese was something I never expected to happen- I had other plans.
From our first date I knew he was something special. He was different from the other boys I had dated- and that scared me.
Reese always stood out to me- he was such a hard worker, he really respected me, and he never let me pay for a single thing when we were together.
He knew falling in love with him wasn't my plan- and he was patient with me. He was patient with me up until the day I knew I had to tell him right then and there that I loved him so I drove to island park- and walked a mile in the snow to tell him in person! (That is a good story haha)
I was 19 when we got married, he was 22. People always ask me if I regret getting married that young- but I never have- not for a second.
Contrary to what people might think- I didn't miss out on my college years, or my young adult free life. In fact, it was just 10x better to do it with the guy I loved!
Back then we were running on love and macaroni (and hot dogs). And now our dynamics have changed as we have added Ruby (and penny) to our family.- and I couldn't love my little family anymore!
I'm so glad I said yes that day Reese Hawker asked me to be his wife- because he makes me a better person!! He makes me so happy, he is the best daddy, and he works so so so hard to provide for our family so I can stay home.
So when people ask if I ever think about what I missed out on by getting married so young- I tell them "no, but I do think I about what I would have missed out on if I wouldn't have gotten married"
Anyone else a teenage bride?? 😂
