LOVE

I obviously have some time on my hands this morning so I thought I would share a little about Jeff and I since it is Valentine's day ;)

Jeff and I met in 8th grade, I was actually hanging out with a good friend of his when I realized how cute he was!  When you are 14 years old you don't really do the dating thing it's like you hang out with friends and you are labeled boyfriend/girlfriend kinda thing (Silly I know) Jeff asked me to be his girlfriend Sept. 9, 1999 (9/9/99 strange!)  We were together for 11 months and went our separate ways going into high school, new school called for all new friends.  We spent 2 years apart for many reasons, but I think we both knew we cared for each other.  In that time we both dated other people but when we would run into each other that feeling was always there.  Our senior year in high school was when we decided enough of this being apart and we have been inseparable since then. 

Jeff is my rock, he knows me inside and out.  We understand each other for the most part and are still learning.  We have the same goals and are on the same page with what we want out of life.  I have to give all the credit to our beautiful son Deaken.  He was the one that truly taught us about love and life.  Before we found out about Deaken, Jeff and I were not sure about our future together to be honest.  Yes, we love each other very much but at that time before Deaken we were on a different page in life, Deaken brought us on the same page and I am forever grateful.   I love that I can be myself with Jeff and he doesn't judge because he is just as stranger or stranger!  I am looking forward to April 30th and celebrating "us" with friends and family. 

Today Jeff and I Cheers and Celebrate our 11 years of friendship, 8 years together and a little over a year of marriage!  We love our crazy and out of order life! The best part is we have each other on this journey....
