. this blog is the story of their journey together . 
The story of how we met is the kind that generates sweet awwws from 12-year-old hopeless romantics and groans from the rest of the well-meaning world.

The conversation begins as such:
"So, how did you two meet?"
"Well, we actually met in pre-school."
"Oh" **sigh and non-verbal cues of disgust** "That's sooo cute."

We, too, also recognize that this is uncommon and perhaps the recipe for a sickening love story, but we figure we are uncommon special people, so it's a good thing. :)  While it is true that we met when we couldn't tie our own shoes, we didn't start dating until college.  This part of what makes our journey unique-- undiscovered love waiting to blossom.

We grew up just blocks apart from one another and passed each other for years in the same classes, the same marching band, birthday parties, and prom... and when our compatibility was sparked, we were inseparable.  The Lord has truly blessed us.  When people say "It feels like I've known you my whole life," with Charlie, it's really true.  Its kind of cool to think we were always with each other, even when we didn't know it.


“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” ~Winnie the Pooh
