Husband and I met on the sandy beaches of Florida back in 2005.We were both volunteers at a youth camp for a week. I thought he was hot stuff and tried to sit next to him every chance I could get (without looking to obvious). He gave me butterflies. I silently vowed that when I moved to the big city I would "stop by" the bookstore where he worked and buy a book.
Well once I moved to the city I was overwhelmed with life after college. Grown up stuff like bills and trying to not get lost in a new place so the bookstore visit never happened. Little did I know that God would bring us together again in January on a ski trip.
In January of 2006 we met again and it was like meeting an old friend. My heart beat a little faster each time he was around and I tried to sit next to him whenever we were riding up the mountain to ski (without looking to obvious). I think he did the same. :) We hit it off instantly and spent the 13 hour drive back to the city sitting with each other and sharing our stories.
After a few months of just being friends he asked me out on our first date and we have been together ever since. On January 1, 2009 he proposed on Jekyll Island and asked me to be his wife. I jumped up and down and we both laughed under the stars so excited about our life to be.
May 24, 2010 we were wed and it was one of the happiest days of our lives. Surrounded by family and close friends we said our "i do's" and then danced the night away down by the sea.
I am so grateful for our awesome God leading us to each other in His perfect timing. Allen is an awesome man of God and I am honored that he has chosen to share his life with me!
