8th Anniversary for me and hubby

So our "dating" anniversary was March 15th. Today marks 8 years for us. Mark says we shouldnt go by it anymore, but shoot.....I think today is a special day (and we get 2 anniversaries back to back). Were not going to be doing anything special, because we forgot. lol. Today in church was singing for all of the anniversaries and birthdays, so we got to go up there while they sang to us. It was nice. Im not sure if I ever written on this blog, how Mark and I met. I was 15 and he was 16 and we met on the internet, lol. He lived in San Antonio and I lived here. It was Spring Break and we were up all night on the internet and I posted a blog in AOL at the time saying my age, sex, and location (15/f/tx) lol.....wow....I dont know if they still do that anymore. But anways....we started talking and the guy drove me banana's, but he kept IMing me (instant messaging) almost everyday. We grew on each other. I started to like him more and more. Then I asked my mom persmission about giving him my phone number (FYI: my mom had STRICT rules on this, she was an overprotected parent, which i am thankful for, and she made sure he was a boy, lol, and was okay). So we did and started talking.....then in November my mom died. I told Mark and I was devastated, though I knew she was going to die and he wrote a letter to his dad, telling him, that he needed to be up here for me and he explained why and everything. Him and his dad and mom talked and they came up here a few days after the funeral.

Now it was awkward....lol....I wasn't sure if i liked this guy, but the thing was, is that I knew i liked him because we talked and we knew everything about each other, so its kinda like I fell in love with a guy that i never met.

But anyways, from then on, we made sure we seen each other every 3 months. It was hard for 2 years to have a long distant relationship at that age, but 2 weeks after he graduated he came and lived with me and my grandpa. From there he lived in my moms room for 4 years and then we got married, a week before our 6 year anniversary.

Alot of people don't believe me when I tell them, that me and my husband stayed celibate before we got married. It was something important for me and for him, and especially our relationship in Gods eyes. My mom never got married and wasn't with anyone till she died. She raised me up the right way, and I always listen to my moms words to this day. I know, not every kid out there is perfect and can do it, but I teach the kids and my friends the right way....that its not impossible!!!!

Now, I also wouldn't recommend meeting your lover online, lol. I guess that was Gods choice in matter how we met that way. * I wonder what I'm going to tell my kids, lol*

But that's a short version of our life as teenagers :)

I want to share some pics of my wedding.....DeEdra Folmar with Photo [e] motion did my pictures and she does an amazing job!
