6 years ago today I checked out (literally and figuratively 😉 ) a cute tall skinny guy who was buying a Sponge Bob Squarepants calender. Little did I know that he was going to be my future husband!! Looking back it still amazes me how God orchestrated our circumstances so that we met that day. Even more amazing is looking back on all we’ve been through and how far we’ve come to reach the point we’re at now. I used to get so mad when we started dating that very few people seemed to take us seriously and so many seemed to think we weren’t going to last. Now that my younger brother is the same age I was when Bob and I started dating I can see why people think that! He still seems like a kid to me, not someone who should be meeting and falling in love with their future spouse!!! However we did make it and 6 years later are happily married with a beautiful baby girl. Although he does “drive me to distraction” at times, I’m so so happy that we met that day, and am more in love that ever 🙂
On a little side note–God is just really so good isn’t He? I have been super super stressed out about money lately. This month is going to be really rough because we have 2 out of town trips (both of which I’m extremely looking forward to but will be expensive) and just found out we have to renew Bob’s license plate tags which was an unexpected expense, also Bob is working on several projects on his truck in order to get it ready for the 2,000+ mile trip home. Considering we have been living paycheck to paycheck since I quit working all this extra financial pressure has made me pull my hair out. Not to mention the fact that I was hoping to save up some money for the trip home–An SUV and a truck pulling a boat with the way gas prices are–OUCH! LoL, anyways, enough of the complaining and to the praising part. I’ve been telling God “Ok Lord I really don’t know how we’re going to do this but if it’s your will I know you’ll help!” So today I got a check in the mail for $379 😀 It was a refund from my ultrasound which we had to pay for up front because they didn’t think Tricare was going to cover it 😀 Yey! What a blessing! I should know that God will always take care of us just like He always has–I just need to quit stressing and start praying a little more!!!!!!
Amen, girlie! 🙂 I know exactly what you’re sayin. We’re supposed to take a trip up to NY this month and we’re still not sure where the money will come from and I’ve been stressing too. Thanks for the encouragement!! 🙂
that’s so great Nicole! God is good and faithful! Btw, I love your digital layouts! Good job!
When Jared and I got engaged I had just turned 19 (that day) and people thought we were crazy. When you know you just know!
omg, i just realized that you went to buy a sponge BOB calendar, checked out a hot wal-mart employee named BOB and ended up actually marrying a guy named BOB!!! 🙂 LOL
I totally remember this day. I wasn’t there, but you told me all about it and when I met him, I told you that you HAD to marry the guy 😉
Thank God for Wal-Mart (can’t believe I just said that!)
Ahh so sweet!
Getting the check in the mail right then was super cool! I love how God works!
God is good! I’m so glad things have worked out for you. 🙂
