My Most Precious Valentine

My husband and I went to school together for one year. I was in the 1st grade and he was in kindergarten. We lived about 30 minutes away from each other at the time. My parents only sent me to the christian day school for that one year and then they put me back into public school so we didn't see each other until I think 1990. To be honest, I really don't remember him that well except a Christmas program we were both in together...as my mom has pictures to bring back the memories :-) He says he always had me on his mind and always wondered where I went to...not knowing I didn't really move I just didn't come back to that school. His mom was expecting her 4th child - a girl - and she didn't even have a name picked out for her yet. So my husband asked his mom to name her M------ after me...isn't that sweet? And she did! We just have different middle names as I am sure he had no clue what my middle name was. I didn't find that out til 1990 while I was at a church camp and we met back up. At the time, I really wasn't interested in him though...as I had someone else and I am SO thankful the Lord brought my now husband into my life in 1991...a year after that.

This is a Valentine my mom found in her cedarchest---after we were married---and she surprised me and gave it to me. I was amazed. This is a Valentine my hubby gave me when he was in Kindergarten. WE WERE JUST MEANT TO BE!!!! I love my hubby immensely and pray the Lord will allow us to have a LONG life together serving HIM!
