7 years . . .

Once upon a time there was a cute little high school girl. She was head over heals for this boy, and he seemed to feel mutually for her! One day, this girl's piano teacher cleverly devised a plan to get them together. The piano teacher, lets call her . . . Debbie, decided to take this cute girl and some friends, and this boy to St. George on a road trip! Debbie invited her son and his friends to come along, so this boy wouldn't be the only boy among a bunch of girls!

This cute girl, who we will call . . . chelle, had been looking forward to this trip ALL summer. She spent quite a bit of time at her piano teacher's house when she was not playing the piano. One night a few weeks before the trip she and her friends decided to watch a movie at Debbie's house. Debbie's son wasn't home, but his friend, who shall be named Steve, decided to come and watch the movie with them. Chelle and Steve ended up sitting next to each other on the couch while they enjoyed Harrison Ford in "Air Force One" (the edited version of course). Steve kept making funny comments, and Chelle kept making funny come-backs.

Finally, at long last the much anticipated trip was here!! August 5th, they all packed up two cars and drove to St. George. When they finally got to St. George, Chelle was able to spend some time with the boy with whom she had waited so long to see! Unfortunately for this boy, Chelle's attention was elsewhere! **GASP**

Steve, whom Chelle hadn't spent much time with since the movie, was somehow taking all Chelle's attention! Chelle kept trying to convince herself that she still liked this other boy. She kept trying all night, but ALAS! It was to no avail!

The next morning, Chelle was helping the girls make breakfast. She was stirring eggs, getting ready to scramble them. All of a sudden she heard a cute voice in her ear. "What'cha doin'?" He asked. Chelle was elated! Steve was standing right behind her looking over her shoulder. She stuttered some inaudible response, and realized then that she was completely head over heels for this boy.

From that point on Chelle has been completely taken with Steve. They were married 3 years and a few months later. That was 7 years ago today.

The En . . . or rather the beginning of a wonderful journey through eternity!


Steve, I love you! And I've loved spending these last 7 years by your side! It has been an incredible journey. It's been harder than I ever thought life would be, but you've been amazing. I wouldn't have made it through anything if you hadn't been by my side- supporting me. I love you more than I can say, and I look forward to the eternities, and to never having to say goodbye!
