We've known each other since we were 12 years old. We both won "Best Personality" in 8th grade, and there's a picture in our 8th grade yearbook with us standing back to back, shaking hands with other people. I wish I still had this pic. Anyway, this was our first sign of compatibility ;-)
We didn't actually start dating until we were in 10th grade. Justin sat behind me in Miss Holstead's Biology class. He would tell me I had great hair, and that I must use good shampoo because I didn't have any split ends. So lame. =) I'll give him a break. He was only 16.
When we were 18, we both accepted Christ into our lives. This is when our lives changed. And so did our relationship...all for the better.
We got married going into our senior year of college, and my parents blessed us with the most beautiful wedding in Malibu, California(I wish I had more pics of this to post as well! I only have the same one that I use over and over again).
We graduated from CU Boulder
Then we bought a house in Louisville, and decided to set up shop. However, as soon as we found out we were expecting, I knew I wanted to be back in California to be around our family and so we sold the place.
Ever since we moved back two years ago, our things have still been in storage, and our lives unsettled. Everything has been a whirlwind since I was sixth months pregnant and we found out about Moriah's heart defect.
We have been on a total rollercoaster ride since our daughter was born.
But there is no other man in the world that I would rather be living this life with...that I would rather have hold my hand or give me a hug after a hard day.
I love Justin with all my heart, and couldn't have wished for a more devoted, adoring, loving husband. He is my best friend. He is my soul mate. He is my partner for life.
Happy Anniversary, babe. =)
I love you.

Justin - - I love the shampoo and split ends line... and clearly it worked for you! :-)
Victoria - - someone out there MUST have access to that pic from the 8th grade... I hope when it makes its way to you that you'll post it! :-) Maybe the school library keeps the yearbooks...? You just have to have that photo! It's part of your story! :-)
