The Notebook

I watched this movie last night I was up until 3am it was by far the greatest love story movie I have ever seen. Just beautiful. I cried several times and knew when they were coming but that was ok. Such a pure love , happy love, comfortable love, ment to be love. Kirk and I do have that somewhere underneath all the lifes bs. I was drawn to him as him to me. Fate as you have it brought me to him. Let me elaborate if you don't know. The first night me and Kirk got together was right after I graduated highschool about a week or two. I was coming home after hanging out with some friends and it was about midnight. We lived in a small town so in order to get home I had to drive through the "square" in town (its just a couple of blocks of businesses and a courthouse). Anyway I saw kirk walking through the square and normally being by myself , a woman, and it was midnight i wouldn't have stopped. But fate stepped in and made me turn my car around and drive to him. I knew him from school we had a brief make out session my freshman year and i'd seen him several times after that but we never really talked. What made me turn around I KNOW it was fate because I would have normally NEVER done something like that. We hit it off immediately and we drove around in my car for hours after that just talking just being together. About two in the morning I told him i had to go home I didn't have a curfew but i always came home. So i dropped him off and before I left him he ASKED me if he could kiss me. I melted at that point. We kissed he got out of my car I told him to page me the next day. (back then pagers were the "cool thing") He didn't page me. But about two weeks later right before i was to go take the state board test for my cosmetology license he paged me. I called back and we talked and I invited him to go down to Austin with me and we could hang out after I took my boards(test). I told him to meet me on the square and we would go. He didn't meet me. He apparently forgot to set his alarm clock. When I came back from taking my boards I thought for sure whatever spark we had was gone and i'd never see him again. So I lived my life for two more weeks and didn't see him. Until he paged me while i was at work. So I called him (yes at work) I worked at a burger and catfish diner and it wasn't busy lol. Anyway I told him to come to my work at about 10 and we'd go hang out after. He showed up at 5pm and he sat in the place the entire time till i got off work just to look at me. He played the song amanda on our jupbox several times during my shift and he told me that he did come to the square the day i was leaving to go to austin but he was too late. And that day he also told me that one day I would marry him. Which I in turn laughed off with a huge blush. After that night we were inseperable. My grandmother was very much like the mother in the notebook, Expected me to be with someone up to her standards , then I brought home kirk to meet her, PUNK with a mohawk and piercings and tattoos what a shocker for her. I think I gave my poor grandma the shock of her life. He was so not the type of guy I had dated before. Not the cleancut, athletic type. He was punk hard core and i LOVED IT. I felt rebellious and liberated. He made me feel great, happy, blissful, playful, beautiful and fun to be with. He didn't mind my chick music and i didn't mind his punk stuff. Then summer came to an end and so did my job at the burger place. I got a job at American Airlines. I was moving to the big city ( DFW) and out of that crapass cowboy and old people infested town. He stayed behind and ever single weekend I drove to see him right after work which ended at 2am no less. I would get off work at 2am on friday and immediately drive to see him and on the way he would page me over and over I love you. We had it worked out so you could put i love you with numbers. I would spend from the time i got off work on friday until Monday until about noon before I would go home and get dressed for work until the next weekend. We did this for about 6 months. The last time we did it we discussed moving in together and that very day he told me he had saved up all the money he had made in that 6 months to do that and that very day he quit his job for me and we went and got an apartment in Dallas. And the rest is history. We moved in together went to school, got pregnant had a baby, got married , graduated, moved to california, had another baby , had another baby, kirk graduated college, moved back to texas, kirk got a great career and we bought a house and we are living happily ever after . We have had lots of bumps in our road together but we are still together and beat the odds of marriages that fail we've been married 8 years been together 10 this month. Love is ment to be pure not manufactured because it s ment to fit. Love is ment to be messy, chaotic, freespirited, fun, oblivious and blissful. Love is ment to be forever and soulful. Love is ment to weather through storms. Love is ment to be wholehearted and gentle. Love is ment to be as fate and god see it. And I can say that am happily in love.
