God brought us together

There really is no place to begin except the beginning. Shane and I met when we were 12 and 13 yrs old. His grandparents went to our church. Arlington Alliance Church in ...Arlington, TX. Shane would attend occasionally with his grandparents. When summer came, my mom sent me to church camp at Pine Crest Bible Camp near Pine Crest, Arkansas. There I met Shane and his best friend Curt Ford. Two years in a row and in between times we wrote and saw each other at church when he could visit. My family moved back to Pensacola, Fla starting my 9th grade year. Shane and I stopped communicating and we lost track of each other. Shane and his family moved to Georgia. In 1994, Shane contacted his grandparents to find a current address and phone number for me. The only phone number they could find was my grandfather's. Shane calls, he get my mom's number and has to leave a message. I was living in Mobile, AL at the time working in the airport. My mother tells me of the message, but I do not return the call because I was dating someone at the time. One year later, Shane calls again, but this time I had moved back in with my mother and was on a business trip. My relationship with my significant other was not going well, so when I got home from my trip I called Shane back. This phone call lasted 3 hours. We talked once that week, three times the next week, and then every day after that. I broke up with the other guy(that was another drama that I wish to forget). We wrote letters, sent audio tapes, and exchanged pictures. This was in February. By the time April came, we decided that it was time to meet up because we had not seen each other yet. I was a travel agent and could get cheap airline tickets, so I flew up to Atlanta, GA for Easter weekend. I met his immediate family and stayed with them. We had talked about just about every thing I thought. I was in la la land, floating on cloud 15, I had won the heart of a cowboy, my dream guy. I would live in the country, and life was going to have that fairy tale life all little girls dream about. On that weekend, we had our first serious talk. Shane shared that he was falling in love with me. I told him that I had fallen in love with him too and we would face the future together. He then asked me to marry him and well.....here we are 13 years later!
