For this I did pray!

I keep looking at this picture and thinking of how blessed I am!  Wanna know the story?  Yeah, I thought you might! :)

All of you know the bad stuff so I will just skip right over that, okay?  Well, most of it anyway. Remember the blog post about "Something Beautiful"?  Here it is!  THIS is my something beautiful.

Here is the song again! :)

He took all of my broken pieces and started turning it into something beautiful.  Little did I know that he started working this miracle when I was in kindergarten.  Look at this: 

Now, check this out. . .the little boy seated on the far right front row - he saved his Valentine from the little girl on the far left front row! Can you believe that? 

Chris and I never had another class together!  I remember talking to him in the hallways at Junior High and High School, but we never were at the same parties or events that I can remember.  To me, he was this sweet little boy I had in my kindergarten class.  What I didn't know was that he had a crush on me for all those years. Seriously?  HE had a crush on ME?  I had NO IDEA!!!  

As adults, we lived just down the road from each other.  For several years he has lived just three miles (or so) from my parents.  I've never ran into him.  Never passed him on the road, never bumped into him at the grocery store - nothing!  

This past fall, he noticed me on Facebook and saw that I was going by my maiden name.  Well. . . the rest is pretty self explanatory.  :)  After months of prayer and conversation, here we are. . .  

Chris is the kindest, sweetest, meekest, most amazing man I have ever known.  I prayed for a good man to come into my life - here he is!  I wonder what the future holds. <3
