Looking back....

It's so amazing. I have been looking back on my life before Vin, and how it has changed since I met him! I was reading my old blogs and his old blogs and it is so evident God made us for each other. It's so funny to think we both were going two completely different directions, yet in our hearts we were longing for one another. I never believed in "real deep love" before I met him. I had thought I knew what it was, but I truly could not fathom it. I was a lost girl trying to find myself, trying to belong to someone, trying to fit into someone's arms and find my place of being. I knew I belonged to Christ and I knew His love, but I longed for a companion. A man to love me, someone I could be myself with and have them love all of who I am, good and bad. I was ready to be a wife. Little did I know Vin was around the corner....
One night in mid December 2004, a typical night for me, I was at Dragonfly typing away on my laptop. Listening to music. Watching all the people pass me by. I WAS not expecting to meet the man I would call my husband! We had met through our blogs, and e-mailed a few times. We exchanged e-mails and MSN screen names. I was signed on and he sent me a message. He asked what I was up to and I had mentioned I was hanging out at Dragonfly and he said " I was just there!" We were there at the same time and didn't even realize! So he wanted to come back and hang out with me, so he drove on over and bought me an apple cider and we talked for a couple hours! I wasn't aware we were going to fall in love at that moment, but I thought about him a lot after that night. Time went by, I had given him my address and he wanted to send me a postcard from Canada when he was there for Christmas. In December I received it, and wrote him a "thank you" on his blog. A couple months went by and he e-mailed me again. I had been busy working nights at the hospital, my birthday had come and gone then I got really sick for a month and didn't interact with anyone really! Plus I was housesitting for a couple months and keeping busy with that. Vin sent me a message via my blog and asked how I was, and he hadn't seen or heard from me in a while. Then a couple days later he called me and invited me to come over to his apartment to meet Grant and Tamara. That's when it all began! I was really excited to have a new friend! God sent him into my life at such a PERFECT time! In the midst of a lot of heartache in my life, He knew I needed someone as fun and sweet as Vin to make a very needed change! Literally after that one night at his apartment, we hung out almost every single day. I started going to church with him, and spending every moment of every day with him. We were totally falling in love! March, we spent becoming bestfriends. April I took a road trip with him to Calgary and we became even closer! I knew he loved me on our way back home from that trip. AND I knew I loved him and I didn't want to spend one moment away from him! The same day we got home from Canada, it was actually Easter day, we went home and took naps and then he called me as soon as he woke up and asked if I wanted to hang out :-) So in April he confessed his love, and we began to date. May he proposed to me and asked me to be his wife! October we became Mr. And Mrs. Thomas! We had the most beautiful precious wedding. Then we had the most romantic amazing honeymoon! From then until now, we have grown so close, and so much deeper in love. Everyday he never fails to prove his love for me in so many ways. Every morning I wake to his sweet kisses on my cheek. Every night I get to cuddle next to him. Every day I get to hear his voice and get e-mails about how he loves me and how he misses me! I can't believe how God changed our lives so quickly but so perfectly. Vin is the truest evidence of an amazing miracle in my life, true evidence that we have such a faithful loving God who wants us to be happy, and has a perfect plan for our lives! I feel so blessed to be Vin's wife. To have babies together, to share the rest of our lives loving and cherishing each other.
My heart is overwhelmed with love! I just wanted to go back~
