I Love This

I love this so much.

Heavenly Father knows everything, People.

Like, all of it.

He knows the time frames, the bigger pictures.

I have no doubt in my mind that God knew I would be with Mike and that we would be a family of 8.

We were brought together at a time when both of us were in therapy and working so hard for the first times in our lives on ourselves.

We were both working through our entire lives in counseling and were so driven to be our best selves when Mike moved in next door to us.

I was absolutely 100% no questions asked NOT DATING.

Period.

Yet, I had this strange crush on this guy next door.

My boys talked about him.

And liked him.

In fact, it was they who finally had a sit-down, coming to Jesus meeting with me...

"MA! Just go on a date with him. He's a good guy. And the most persistent man EVER."

Nope.

No thanks.

Not doing it.

Then, he moved.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!

So, Colton took the lead and gave him my phone number.

Still turned him down like two or three more times.

Until I couldn't turn him down anymore.

We were both in a spot in our lives where we were discovering everything about ourselves and how to be our best selves.

Because of that, our relationship has been built on integrity, knowledge of who we are and what we want to be, a pure love for each other, and all the things that I've always prayed for.

It will all be okay in the end and if it's not okay, it's not the end.

We continue to learn and live and love and laugh and learn more.

We both continue to go to therapy on our own, because our journies will never be over.

We continue to grow and develop into exactly what we are supposed to be.

We are so blessed.
