Although Slone and I got married almost a year ago, I still want to reflect back on this day in 1998 when he first asked me to be his girlfriend. We were in junior high school, 12 and 13 years old. During our friend's birthday party he asked me to go outside with him and I just knew what was about to happen. He said that he had been "practicing" asking me this for a while now and then asked me to be his girlfriend. I'm sure you all remember that feeling when you were that young and the boy of your dreams asks you that. Well, I was in heaven, and to this day I can still say that he brings the same smile to my face as he did on November 13, 1998! I love you Slonie!
We began our journey in November 1998. Through many years of being together, and being separated at times, the Lord brought us back together for good on December 29, 2007. We said our vows on that winter day and have been on this adventure called love ever since! In the words of my husband, "God is good and will always provide." He has certainly provided an awesome best friend for me.
