We celebrated my husband’s birthday yesterday. His birthday is always special because we first started dating the day after his birthday.
Nine years. It is so strange to realize that we’ve been together for almost a decade. We started dating in our late teens.
We met the first day of college band camp. We were both freshmen and we became fast friends.
Two weeks later he met me in my dorm lobby with a teddy bear and flowers. He awkwardly asked me to be his girlfriend.
The rest is history, and a great history at that.
We experienced college together. He was my first kiss. My first real love.
We decided to save sex for marriage. It was not an easy choice to follow. We dated for three and half years before we became engaged and another year before our wedding.
It was worth it. He was worth waiting for. He has been my best friend for nine wonderful years. He has been a source of strength, encouragement, and comfort.
Almost five years ago he became my husband. Three years ago we became a family of three. Almost a year ago we became a family of four.
It has been an amazing journey and I look forward to continuing along together in this crazy, beautiful life.
We’ve had some trials and rough life situations but God has been good to us.
Happy Birthday Andy! I love you!
