22 years later...

In 1987, I was 15 years old, and I began dating a boy named Jamie Thompson. He was a year ahead of me in school, and he drove a blue sports car. When we had been dating about 3 months, he told me he was going to marry me one day...my mama said boys lie, so though I wanted to believe him...I wasn't so sure!

Just before Christmas in 1992, he asked me to marry him and had a ring to encourage me to say yes. I often tell him thank you for asking...on July 17, 1993, Jamie and I were married. Today, we have been married for 16 years.

Over the past 16 years, I realize each day that I love Jamie more than the day before...I am very thankful that God put him in my life. He is a wonderful husband, father, and friend. As we get older, I feel very blessed that such a young love has been able to survive and turn into something that words really cannot adequately express. I guess everything changes and grows through the years...I am thankful that as we have changed our love for each other continues to grow.

Siblings...

Sometimes they fuss...even fight, but when all is said and done...I don't know two other people in this world who think more of each other! (Especially when they think no one is looking!)
