February 25, 2000- This was the day we made it official. We went with some friends to the Seattle Aquarium, Buca-de-Bepo's and then ice-skating, and followed by a movie at a friends. We had an awesome time together and at the end of the night, we talked...we had talked the week before and shared our feelings for each other for the FIRST time (after being good friends for a year). We agreed at that time that we would pray and see what God was saying. When we talked on the night of Feb. 25th, we had both sensed that God was saying it was time. So that night at Northwest College, we made it official and started our dating relationship. The above picture is of us with our good friends, Kelly and Takeshi, at the aquarium.
The morning after we started dating, I woke up feeling all kinds of excitement and it only grew when I saw what my new boyfriend had done for me. He had gotten up early in the morning and gone down to the florist and picked out some of my favorite flowers, had them put in a vase and called my friend Kelly to come down to the lounge to get them from him and bring them up to put them outside my door. He was off to an amazing start right from the beginning.
Here's a picture of those flowers and believe it or not, I saved some of them dried, and here's a pic of that along with the card he gave me with the flowers in which it said: "I hope this brightens your day as much as much as you have brightened mine. -Jeremy"
Here's some other pics of our early dating relationship...thought you may want another peak!!
And now 10 years later, we've been married for almost 9 years, have 2 wonderful kids, been youth pastoring here in Singapore for 9 years this coming July, and we are loving life and each other!! Thanks for letting me share with you a little of "Our Story".
