[five minute friday] together

scI met him just before we walked down the aisle together. Afterward, he remembered feeling my hand shake and my heart pound as we walked down the aisle, and I remembered that he wasn’t ashamed to cry at his brother’s wedding.

I little dreamed that life would turn our two paths into one, or that we’d walk down Lover’s Lane, hand in hand. But we did, and when he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, I said yes.

 

That first day we met, I never dreamed we’d be walking down another aisle, pledging to stick out this unpredictable adventure called life and set out together on our own happily ever after

That was three years ago now. I still feel butterflies when he says my name, when he takes my hand. I miss him when he’s at work; everything is so much better when we’re together. He is my best friend. More now than ever before.

Oh, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Every life is going to have bumps along the way. But I’m thankful that it is him and me. I’m glad that when God wrote our stories, He decided that we were better together than apart.

I’m just glad that he + I= together.

  1. Wonderful! I can’t wait till I can love someone so fully, like you two. The picture is beautiful. You two look so happy together! :-)

  2. *awww* SO sweet!! :)
    It’s amazing to see what God can do when we let Him weave our life stories! I’m happy that He weaved your two lives into one.

    • They are real! I must admit there was a time when I was beginning to be afraid they had gone extinct. So glad it isn’t true. :)

    • Aw, thank you! That picture is one of my most favorite from our courtship days. And the “hidden dog” (our family springer spaniel) in the picture makes me giggle. :D

  3. Your love story almost makes me cry whenever I think about it!!! It was such an honor and pleasure to “be there”, talking with you and watching it unfold. This is the type of love I can’t wait to find. :)

    • Ah, you don’t know how much it meant to me to have you there to talk through those days. They were somewhat confusing and scary and I couldn’t talk to just anyone about it. Thank you for being there. <3 And…you don't know how often I pray and how I'm looking forward to the day when you find it.
