My Hubby!

Kelly over at Kelly's Korner is doing her Show Us Your Life meme. I have done several of these over the last 6 months or so. This one was a no brainier to do since it's about my hubby! I have talked about him before & how we met but I thought it would be fun to do it again!

Hey it's my blog! :)

The GD & I met at church in the college & career ministry. I don't remember our first meeting, but I do remember the first time God stirred my heart for him. We had a meeting with some of the leaders of the C&C ministry & I was upset about some of the changes that were taking place. After the meeting he came up to me & simply asked me "How are you?" But there was something in his voice that told me he genuinely wanted to know how I was. I remember walking away, after talking to him for at least 30 min, thinking how he was someone special. After that he started helping me with our weekly bible study & afterwords we would go get coffee or get a snack & talk for hours. Long before we were actually dating, people started questioning if we were in fact dating. We even joked about telling people we were getting married & planned out a ceremony! (God was up to something!) Then one night (Feb 22nd to be exact) after bible study we were sitting in my car talking & actually approached the subject of having feelings for each other & what to do about it. We both expressed how we wanted the next person we dated to be the one we were going to marry, which is a little daunting to go into it with those expectations already set up. He was concerned about taking our friendship to that level & if it was worth it. Without skipping a beat, I reached over, held his hand so that our fingers were intertwined & said "I want this."

Ever since that moment when our fingers were first intertwined, I couldn't see where he stopped & I began. 3 months (May 7th) later we were engaged, & married one year later (May 18th)! We became one, working together, loving together, starting a family together & growing together. We have had many challenging times in our relationship, whether is was the possibility of not being able to have children, or when we did have children, or money, or family or so many other things, one thing I know is he is still intertwined with me. He is my other half, my better half. I have learned so much about myself because of him. And I know that I am a better person for knowing & loving him. He has always told me that his heart beats in my chest & I have always said that when I am in his arms the world makes sense again. And it does!

This May we will be married 8 yrs, the best of my life so far! We have 2 beautiful boys & can't wait to see what God has in store for us next!
