Today is Josh’s birthday! I don’t spend a lot of time talking about my wonderful husband on my blog. I should spend more time doing so!!!
Josh and I met my freshmen year. I was only 14! He was in the 10th grade. I walked into my science class and there he was. I thought to myself “I hope I can sit by him.” The whole love at first site thing, yeah I
believe in it, I knew that he was someone special. I can’t really tell you what “it” was, it just was! Well, we did sit beside each other that year. We wrote notes back and forth, we were lab partners, he kissed my finger when I burnt it on the Bunsen burner, I talked about my boyfriends and he hugged me when one broke my heart, we got in trouble for talking to much, and we really got in trouble from his then girlfriend. Oops!!! HAHAHA!!! I found out later that Josh had told his Grandma that he had met a girl at school that he wanted to date. :) But with my
strict parents I couldn’t date until I was 16. He told her that he would wait.
My 10th grade year Josh went to the vocational school, but we still didn’t lose touch. His girlfriend and him broke up and he quickly started calling me more. He wanted to date me, I told him no. I broke his heart and I still feel bad about that. But this was not a line, I swear, I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. I valued our friendship. I loved having him as a friend.
The next few months kind of run together but Josh and I did end up dating. Our first date was April 28th. I will never forget our first kiss, those soft lips that had kissed my finger in science class were even softer on my lips. I will never forget the first time Josh told me that he loved me, it was worth getting “caught” by my dad, kissing him.
Lots of water passed under that bridge of ours; lots of wrongs on both our
sides. But our love, that love at first sight, has always held us together. That love at first sight was God leading us together. The story of us continues on from those first few moments of love at first sight. Together Josh and I have grown in our love. We have had lots of firsts: our first apartment, our first Christmas, our first home, our first, second and third children. We have had lots of heartache. The loss my three grandparents, his grandma, our miscarriage, the year we spent on the string because of his job. We have had lots of happy times, oh so many, to many to list. I look forward to the future and spending it growing old with Josh. Watching our boys grow in to men, seeing our grandchildren, walking beside him holding his hand though it all.
Josh is the best husband and father I could ever dream of and to this day he is still my best friend! That love at first site thing… it is still working pretty good for me, 16 years later.
Happy Birthday baby, I love you with all of my heart and SOLE!
Yes, I know I spelled sole wrong…
