"Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get." Yep this quotation is of course from "Forest Gump" (Kyle Soderman's favorite movie) but it also has a special meaning for me...This is it.
In January of this year I traveled from California to Florida for Kyle Soderman's wedding. Kyle is the amazing twin brother of Korey (my ex-boyfriend at the time and now the love of my life forever.) Anyway, as the hours passed by on the flight there, I wondered how I would feel after not seeing Korey in a year and a half. Would I still be so stubborn about not being in a long distance relationship or might I remember why I had fallen in love with Korey in the first place? I didn't know "what I was going to get." That is, of course, until the rehearsal dinner. When I saw Korey dressed as Lieutenant Dan, decked out in army gear, a brown wig, a red bandana, and a smile across his adorable face, as part of his parents Wendy and Kris' surprise Forest Gump themed rehearsal dinner, I knew Korey was the guy for me!! Korey in that ridiculous costume stole my heart away again! Then, the following night, at Kyle's wedding, Korey,who can't speak due to having CP, did an amazing best man speech via a video. In it, he thanked Kyle for introducing him to me. I fell deeper in love. I didn't want to tell Korey this yet though. It was so busy with his family in town for the wedding. I waited until the day after I got home and told Korey I was in love with him on facebook. I didn't know how he would feel or how he would react...i again didn't know what i was going to get. Korey did tell me he loved me and the rest is history.
so for all the Carrie Bradshaws of the world who analyze every aspect of a relationship, we should just stop and enjoy. Life is messy like a box of chocolates but if you have love like Korey and I do, you can get through anything!
