Chapter 1

We were in Jr. High and he (Nick) my husband now of 9 years was actually dating my best friend. When they broke up like most 12 and 13 year olds do Nick had a friend of course call and ask me to go with him I said "No" for about Oh 5 minutes then said "Yes" what a change you can make in your life with just one simple word. I would never be the same and would never find another love like that for, well all my life that I know of. We used to meet at ball games and sneak out and meet at friends houses and sometimes at parties. (Please no one tell my kids HAA!) I will never forget our first kiss which was so incredible any one who knows what it is like to kiss someone that is not a good kisser compared to someone who is knows what I am talking about. Our kiss felt like a key in a lock and only that one key went with that one lock and I knew by his eyes he felt it too. After that we were together any time we could be and talked on the phone a lot we loved each other and that's just the way it was we dated non stop for almost my whole Jr. High until he had to switch schools because they found out he was in a different school district and was sneeking to our school. (Well we broke up one time when he asked another girl out then I was asked out and he did not like that so we went back together, silly kids.)When that happened it changed our lives again, but not forever. It is important for me to tell you I do not support dating at this age for my children or any child. I feel we should go back to courtship for marriage and really get to know each other as people and not be kissing and sexual until after marriage. I know it sounds old fashioned but I wish we could all practice this and include God in our lives and in our dicisions and maybe divorce rates would drop which would not only be a positive impact on our own lives but the lives of our children. We are to be equally yolked the Bible says. Non the less I am not perfect and have had many instances in my life to learn from in which I will share many. What good would it do to go through life, make mistakes and then not witness or help someone else. I thank God for my mistakes and the fact that I can learn from them and have compasion for someone else it allows us to relate to each other... it means we are humans.
