something you may not know.

it's the husband's birthday today!

wahoo!

so here's a fun post about the husband and i that i thought you might like to read...

many of you may know this fun tidbit about me already...but here it is anyway!

a reader left a comment under this post about my husband and i a while back. she said:

It does seem really heaven-sent that you found each other so young

and that you stayed together despite your differences.

Christ really put his hand on your relationship and guided you both

- I am in awe.

she was referring to when we became friends and started dating junior year in high school...but high school was not the first time we ran in to each other.

my husband and i had been going to the same school together since 6th grade {11 years old}. while we were never friends and never knew each other personally, we definitely knew who the other was and had the occasional class together.

after we began dating i use to joke about the possibility of us having a run-in with each other at an even younger age... since we both grew up in the same town, from a very young age, surely there was some park, some birthday party, some time that we both played together unknowingly {a far-fetched, yet fun idea to amuse myself with}.

3 years later i came across this footage {that i turned into a little movie this week} as we watched the husband's home videos:

i kid you not, that cute-as-can be little blondie is my man! and the little-rat-like girl, hair {always} in her face, with an unmistakable grin {as most of my front teeth had been chipped after slipping and hitting my head on a coffee table} is ME!

can you believe it! 4 years old and right next to each other! he likes to joke that i have been stalking him ever since that day so long ago... what can i say, he was as much of a stud then as he is now!
