How we became 'we'

This is my story: (justin can post his own)

I saw Justin months and months ago at SuperFranks... at my 30th birthday party. Because every 30th birthday party should be at a 'pumped up' chuckie cheese family venue. So yeah... I knew who he was, because my roommate spoke about him a lot. In my mind I was interested... but he had been in a relationship... and yeah. So... I shot him a big smile... which I think won him over... and then waited. A few days later, we ran into each other at church... and mentioned how we should grab coffee and talk about my past trip to Israel. yeah yeah.

He went into class (School of Ministry), and I went out to his car and placed my business card on the window. It said "Let's get together and talk about Israel". (I am so nuts!)

A few days later... he sent me an email... then brought me a present for my birthday... and a few more dates and boom..... I bolted. As normal. Just as things go well... I run.

I headed to Africa for three weeks and prayed about Justin and I. I came home... still rather skiddish and fearful. We spoke a few times... watched some fireworks on 4th of July and then walked away from each other.

One day, I was with one of my friends and I saw him walking out of the church.... and I felt a twinge in my heart... like a bit of sadness. I missed the boy. I was wishing I could talk to him. So... a few days later... I approached him and asked him to go to a baseball game. We had an incredible evening... and slowly my heart was wrapping around his. A few months needed to go by for me to get used to a boy loving me the way Justin does. On August 12th, I really came to a place of healing from past relationships. I called him on the phone... and said "I love you". I had said it one other time... but this came from the deepest place in my heart. I haven't thought any differently since.

Justin fits. perfectly.

That's my story.
