So, some of you know that July 3, 2009 was the day that Cory and I first met. 3 years ago this past Tuesday. On that day Cory asked me to be his girlfriend, and to marry him..... little did he know... he he he. And then, the 4th of July was the 3 year anniversary of our first date.
I've been remembering those days and the circumstances leading up to them. It was amazing that we even met. For those who don't know, Cory and I met at a YSA (young single adult) activity. From what I understand, Cory hardly ever went to those, and almost didn't go to this one. Me, on the other hand, LOVED YSA. I wanted to be 5 minutes early and stay as late as I could. Well, I was staying with my sister, and they needed the car, so I was planning on going with a friend of mine. He baled on me the day before. Saying he was moving. So I called my friend Eden, who I was going to invite anyway, and asked her if she wanted to go "oh and by the way, can you drive us?". Luckily she did want to go, and she could drive us. (When we arrived, my first ride was there. Just having the time of his life. Thanks dude.) This was a very delicate window. Cory would probably not have gone to any more YSA activities and we would have never fallen in love.
I am so grateful for having Cory in my life. He is such an amazing man, and truly is the best man for me. I am so glad he didn't give up on me. I really had no idea how to be in a relationship, and I probably drove him crazy the entire time.
3 years. It's funny how one day can change your life forever. How Heavenly Father knows what you need at that time in your life. I had no idea why I needed to go to Kansas, I thought it was to help my sister through her pregnancy. It was because I needed Cory in my life for so many reasons.
I am so excited to celebrate our 3 year anniversary of marriage in 5 months. Time really does fly. I still feel like we are only in our first year of marriage. I am so glad I have eternity to spend with the love of my life.
Well, that's enough cheese. Stay tuned. Remember, you are a child of God, and He loves you very much!
I didn't know that you started dating and were engaged on the same day! Hope you're well, lady!
