Gabby Nigro Descriptive Essay

    I never thought that this day would come, and I would never be this happy about it. The days would drag on and it just felt like forever to me. The days seemed longer after my husband brutally kicked my children and I out during a heavy snowstorm. I had to go out find a better paying job, a place to live, and a man who will actually be there for my children and me. My two children are always happy, but these past days I can sense the feeling that they were going through a hard time and struggling with it. That night we got kicked out I brought my kids to my mother's house and I went out shopping to get them clothes until their father would let us get our stuff.
    The next day I dropped the kids off to school, when they left they gave me a big warm hug and wet kisses that were with me threw the whole drug out day. Today was the day I went to go look for a job. It was difficult. I went from store to store filling out applications. My last application was put in at ShopRite.” Good morning all customers!” it was the morning of a beautiful day.  By the time I finished the last page of the application my hand felt like a thousand rocks fell on it and it had cramps running through it like a crab biting at my toes.
    I came home to my mom's house from filling out the applications and the girls were just getting home from school. I told them I went to fill out applications today and I should hear more on it tomorrow. The looks on their faces made me know they were happy. The only felling I had was would I ever find a man that will help me out with this hard time. He needs to understand I have 2 children in my life, who come first. The feelings just washed away and I got the girls ready for bed.
    The next morning was the same routine as usual. I dropped the kids off to school and I sat there smiling at their precious faces when they left. I went on with my day and checked my phone for responses to my job applications. I had a response it was from ShopRite they said I start tomorrow! This is great; tomorrow is going to be the best day. Knowing this great news I was about to burst with excitement like a balloon bursting that was filled with too much helium. It’s the day my children are going to have a big smile stretching across their face like a never-ending street.
    The girls were proud of me. Its Saturday so when I left for work the girls were still sleeping so I went up quietly snuck in to give them both kisses then I left for an easy flowing day, I hope! The day went on and it was great. After my shift was over I went shopping in the store to get my girls snacks and lunch for school. This was it the day I met the man I knew would understand what I was going through and would be there for my children and me. It was in isle 13 the frozen food isle where I seen him. He was packing out the frozen foods. He noticed me looking at him and we met eyes. We looked into each other’s eyes; it was love at first sight. Little glances went on between us. I introduced myself as Patty and told him I was a new worker. He introduced himself as Joe and he was the grocery manager and has been working here for 18 years. When the conversation was over we were both proud to say it was a date.
    The day of the date was a huge surprise the kind of surprise that takes the words right out of your mouth. It wasn't a date it was another chance to spill out the truth. So I told Joe about the time me and my 2 girls were going through and he dropped a big secret a secret that I never expected, but he didn't tell me until the date was over. We went to eat at a beautiful restraint and we ordered delicious expensive food, I enjoyed everything. It was time to go, but before I left Joe had to tell me something. I acknowledged him. He said, “I am dating this other girl named Mary, but I think I love you!” I left the restaurant speechless with nothing else to say.
    We went on other dates. The other dates led to me introducing him to my family and kids. My family loved him, but the girls were not quite certain if they were ready to have a new father figure. It was written all over their faces the day they met. The next date was when I met his family. I was scared I had that feeling in my stomach like I was about to go on my first upside down roller coaster. It all just happened in a flash I seemed to get a long with everyone. His family was so nice. That night I did not go home I stayed at his house for the night and went home in the morning to tell the girls all about his family and how nice they were.
    Months past and so did years and at a blink of an eye Joe was living with us. He bought us a house in the Northeast and we started to realize everything was going great. We got settled in around Christmas Eve and we had a great party, a big surprising and unforgettable party. “Everyone come upstairs!” Echoed down the stairs of my basement steps. I looked at Joe very confused,” what’s going on?” Joe blew off my question. He knelt to his knee very slowly sincerely looking into my eyes. His eyes were shining bright and sparkling like a fresh cleaned glass window. He popped the question,” will you marry me?" I was left speechless I could not get the words out, I stuttered over my words and sounding like a baby who just learned how to talk. I was astonished the people around me were surprised. I answered. "Yes!" I glanced over to the girls and they were standing there shocked. They both ran over to Joe and me and gave us a big hug. My youngest daughter spotted something, she asked, “Joe what are those boxes?” He looked over and responded by pulling out two smaller boxes. She walked over to go see that they were two gorgeous white gold rings shining up at her with every look. Joe said, "ones for you and the other is your sister’s."
    We began to plan the wedding, and before I knew it the day was here. This day was better then the day I had when I started my job at ShopRite. My fiancé was out of the house for the day and it was just the girls and I getting ready. My daughters and I were pampered to the fullest that day. We got our hair, our makeup, and our nails done. The day was going great we had lunch at my neighbor’s house cause she was the one who did our makeup for us. We did our talking we had our laughs; then the time came that split second my heart started to drop we had to get ready for the big day. When we were finished getting ready me and the girls looked in the mirror and was shocked at how pretty we all looked. I think I am ready I thought to myself. We went back to our house to get the bridesmaids and made our way to the hall.
We arrived to our separate rooms, waiting anxiously for our signal. Then the DJ came on the microphone and said, “Time for the welcoming ceremony!” so all the bridesmaids and groom men matched up with whom they had to walk in with. With the flower girl and ring barrier going first.” Introducing the maid of honor, Noelle Bond and the best man, John Hatch!” The music was blasting and I could only imagine the smiles going across the family and friends faces. My stomach was full of butterflies, it was almost my turn to see my husband to be and walk out. I heard the song dramatically change and my stomach received more butterflies, it was time. “Give it up for Mr. & Mrs. Patty and Joe Muth!” we came out arm and arm jumping up and down happy to be here at the moment.
