My husband

I am very blessed. I fell in love with Justin when I was very young. I am thankful that God brought Justin and I together at such a young age. I realize for someone to know who they want to marry when they are 12 years old is very uncommon. Even more amazing that it actually happened. (I was really in 4th grade (about 9 years old) when I first saw Justin and knew I liked him, and I knew he was different.) I was VERY much a "boy crazy girl". When I was 11 and 12 years old, I had many, many little "boyfriends". Maybe that is common for 6th and 7th grade, but I really believe God led Justin and I together when I was in 8th grade as a protection for me. I believe that Justin and I are meant to be together and meant to be married for life. Maybe we could have met when I was 21 and he was 23, and we still would have gotten married and be where we are today, but I think God knew that I needed Justin from the age of 12-21.
I believe that God see's the BIG PICTURE of life, and I believe that God answers prayer. Justin's mom is a godly woman, and she is a woman who prays. She has even told me before that she prayed for Justin's future wife from the time he was very young. Pretty awesome lady, huh! She was praying for me before I ever met her or even knew who Justin was.
I am thankful that my family and Justin's family allowed me to go out with Justin and allowed us to be "boyfriend and girlfriend". We were young, and I am sure for a lot of young teenage boys and girls it is best to just be friends. But, I believe my having Justin in my life protected me from many things that I don't even know about.
Justin is truly my best friend. He takes care of me. He eats whatever I make for dinner and he never complains. He encourages me. He makes me smile.
I am very blessed!
