9 years

Nine years ago today Stan and I made the decision to take a new step in our relationship. We had known each other for a year and in that time went from not getting along so much (more on my part) to being good friends. We were both having that feeling of more than friendship for a while, but you know how it goes, we were both afraid to admit it. I wouldn't even admit it to my best friends who would tease and I would deny. Finally Stan took the step and told me he didn't want to just 'date' me but pursue me as his wife. This was either the complete true or a VERY clever way to get me to start dating him. :) Whichever it was, it worked. I am so thankful in the Godly way that Stan pursued me and has continued to pursue me to this day.

Nine years ago I don't think either of us could imagine what was in store. I was 20, yes T-W-E-N-T-Y! What on earth or heaven did I know?!?! I'm glad I knew enough to take Stan up on his offer, that's for sure. Stan I love you and I look forward to many more years of our adventure. I love you!
