I Corinthians 13: 4-8

4] Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5] It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8] Love never fails.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Josh had gone to my father and asked him to marry me and he said yes. About two weeks later he took me to the coast where we spent an amazing day just being with each other. It was perfect weather and we walked and talked about our life and dreams while listening to the ocean around us. He took me to a five star ocean front restaurant and we ate and watched the sun begin to set. It was so romantic. He then asked me to go for a walk on the beach with him and we took a blanket and watched the sun set. He stood up and I followed as he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him......Needless to say, I said yes!

{how we met}

We met because our parents are best friends. My Dad said Bill had a son who was my age and we should meet. Every time we were to meet something would interfere with us meeting each other. On a Saturday night worship service at Applegate Fellowship his family came and met us there. Josh sat by me and from that moment we just clicked. His parents and mine both looked at each other and said, what have we started. Needless to say at family gatherings they all take the credit for our meeting but Josh and I both know God knew we needed each other at that moment in our lives.

-About Josh & I-

First off I love Joshua more than the air I breath and Iam so thankful that God brought him into my life. I have two wonderful sisters, Alyssa, who is almost nineteen and right now in military school {OYCP}. I have missed having her here and helping me plan my special day. Kimberly is nine going on sixteen and Josh and Is entertainment. I am a very simple person who loves the ocean and all old fashioned and elegant things. I love my family very much and am proud of who they are. I go to Edgewater Christian Fellowship right now with Joshua and my family. This summer I bought my first car (yippee) It is a red Volkswagen beetle. Josh said he would never drive it because it was a girls car but that didn't last once he saw how fast the turbo made it lol. We are both a fun loving and very easy going couple who just love being in each others company.

What can I say about Josh, He loves me and calls me his sweet angel. He loves the Lord and has become a man after Gods own heart. Josh loves anything that contains bullets or has a sharp edge. I guess that is why the army national guard appeals to him so much lol. He deploys shortly after our wedding day. Josh is more excited about our apartment then I am and obsesses over shelves and paint chips. Josh loves to be at the ocean just as much as I do and says some day we will live near it. He loves his family and the outdoors and often fishes with his father, Bill on the Rogue River. Although I think they spend more time talking and laughing than fishing.
