Married the last 16+ years to my sexy highschool sweet-heart. You hear it said all the time, that He works in ways we can't even imagine. That's how it was for us. I went to the Homecoming game, under pretense of writing a yearbook article but more just to drown out a broken heart. Next thing I know, there she is..! "Can I sit by you?" she asks, "My dad decided not to come."
I asked her to the dance, and got a quick, "That would be really fun!" Next day, I get a letter, to ask if that means we're going out...(?) Of course I'd want to date her! I think she's funny and smart AND hot! So we started dating, got engaged a year and a half later, and married two and a half after that.
Let's be honest... Neither of us would have imagined that turn of events. There've been great times, and some pretty not-great times, but He sees us through it all. There are struggles we've been wrestling for almost 10 years, with what seems like a steady decline towards even more struggling. But still I wouldn't trade her in for anything. The Father gave her to me, and me to her, so we can fill the others needs. The only thing left to learn in all this is how to make sure I'm doing that. The rest will, eventually, fall in to place.
