My Love

In the summer of 2004 this cute boy in a stocking hat caught my eye on the first day of church camp.

We were 15.

I talked to him for the first time in the gazebo and stole his hat during capture the flag.

We snuck away to play basketball. We held hands during the bond fire. 

We worshipped God together.

His faith and quiet confidence was, and still is, what drew me in.

Every year we came back to church camp and each other.  

He told me he loved me our senior year.  

After graduation I told him I would marry him some day. 

But our relationship did not glorify God and was not the love He described. 

We broke up in March 2009.

God used our time apart to grow our relationships Him. 

Michael proposed on November 15, 2009.

We said I do on August 7, 2010 at the church camp where we fell in love with God & each other.

The gazebo where we met.

Where I beat him in basketball. :)
