Our Story: Her Side

I have a love/hate relationship with our story. It's messy and sometimes not too pretty, but we rejoice to see how the grace of God brought our relationship to this point. We met at college in WI. I thought he was cute since my freshman year (okay but my freshman mind thought 75% of these christian college boys were cute). He had a girlfriend at the time and didn't know I existed. Fast-forward to my junior year: We happen to be sitting beside each other in one class. We barely talk, but my intuition tells me he might be interested in me which is further piqued when he asks me to join a group to a restaurant for a project. Of course, I was very much interested in another guy at the time while also dealing with my health completely crumbling. I was still a little interested though. I mean he was cute, intelligent, and everyone seemed to like and respect him. It was at that dinner that he learned that I had become sick and was not returning after Thanksgiving break. Poor guy thought I would be back in January. I ended up sitting out of school an entire year. Meanwhile, Tim's friends encouraged him to reach out to me. And thus like any true romance, a Facebook messenger relationship emerged. Unsurprisingly, things were awkward when I returned to campus nearly 1.5 years later. From then on we had a bunch of ups and downs and confusion, and ended up breaking off things and trying to stay friends (always a foolproof plan). I was truly heartbroken. I was falling in love with this guy and really thought he was going to be a part of my future. Over the next 1.5 yr, we both tried to move on. And we both realized our feelings weren't going anywhere. So, Tim decided to be bold and Skype me to see if there was any chance of our relationship being restored. Well, we gave it another shot and here we are! And we couldn't be happier. God is good.

For all the days along the way
