Our Story.

{day thirteen}

Today's prompt. "Your current relationship status. If dating/married, give us a glimpse of your story!"

I am Married To the Love of My Life John, 

& here is Our "Love Story"

I will begin at the Beginning.

When I was 14 1/2, God told me I was going to Marry John, 

At the time I had a hard time believing it, 

I had absolutely no interest in him plus he was 3 1/2 years older then me, 

and for a 14 years old that a large age gap! 

But I figured I should probably trust God ;) [he knows what he's doing]

So for the next 6 months I tried to get to know him, 

He went to my church.

I didn't really talk to him much, just watched him how he acted, 

and seeing what his personality was, 

as I watched him I realized that God might be right [ imagine that ;) ], 

I found myself liking him more & more.

On my 15th birthday I felt God telling me to Talk to him, 

So I texted him, 

and told him I liked him and asked him if he liked me.

[totally real high school right? haha]

He replied he didn't think so, 

I was devastated, 

I cried and prayed to God to tell me what I should do,

 and to help me know what his plan was, 

I felt lost, 

I trusted God & then felt broken. 

About a week later, 

I got a text from John, He said that he thinks that now he might like me, 

I was surprised and confused. 

*Back story, Before this John had been praying to God that whoever he was supposed to marry would basically tell him that she was interested, 

When I Texted him, he didn't know what to think, 

Then later he realized God gave him the sign he wanted*

Over the next few weeks We talked and asked my parents if we could date, 

they said no, I needed to wait till I was almost 17. 

So for the next year and a half we texted and saw each other at church and youth group events, 

I have to admit it was a hard time, liking Someone so much but not being able to talk to them in person for more then a minuet or two, 

but finally the time came,  in December of 2011 we started dating, 

It was so nice to be about to talk and hang out and be a couple, we went 4 wheeling, skating & to movies, games at my parents, it was so nice to do things together! 

Early in our relationship we know we wanted to get married, so in august I went wedding dress shopping with my mom, 

I didn't tell john because I didn't want him to feel like I was trying to make him propose, but I know it was coming pretty soon, 

And on September 23rd 2012 we got engaged, 

We were at his sister after spending some time there with her watching movies, 

we walked outside to say goodbye and go home, 

we were by his truck and he said

 "I have something for you" 

Opened the door to his truck and pulled out the ring box and then the RING! 

I said yes and I was so surprised & happy! 

that started all the wedding prep!

 It was so fun getting to know him even more with getting stuff ready for the wedding, 

seeing him make decisions about about wedding stuff, & our future house and talking about  building our lives together,  

it was great seeing him and knowing he's going to be my husband! 

On March 23rd 2013 we got married, it was such a cold day, 

I was hoping for green grass and sunlight, nope snow! 

But everything still turned out beautiful, 

we went on our honeymoon to South Carolina, 

we flew there and drive back in a truck we bought, 

it was so fun road tripping it back home, 

talking on those long drives was great, 

when we got back I got to ride with John while he would plow,

 or help him fix a barn roof, build a fence.

I loved being a farmers wife, but we knew we wanted kids.

and on February 12th 2014 we had our sweet boy Cort Granger! 

Now it is so fun seeing John being a father to Cort,

and seeing him with Cort makes me love him even more,

 and I know with each passing day, month & year our love for each other will grow, 

There are three things that amaze me --

 no, four things I do not understand: 

how an eagle glides through the sky, 

how a snake slithers on a rock, 

how a ship navigates the ocean, 

how a man loves a woman.  

Proverbs 30:18-19

Whats your love story? I'd love to hear alittle bit about it!
