I would like to share one of my favorite stories that holds a special place in my heart.
I had been in the hospital for four days by this time for excessive migranes and that day was the day that Dustin, asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. He got out of his classes early and came to my hospital room. He asked me if I would take a walk with him. So I got out of bed, IV and all, walked down to the lobby, and sat next to him on a little couch. He held my hand and told me that, these are the times that make him realize how much he loves me, how he doesn't want to lose me, and that he wants to spend his life with me. Seeing me sick in the hospital made him want to ask me even more. He said he wants to be the one to wake up to me in 80 years! So with that said, he told me he is positive he wants to spend his life with me, even though I am in pajamas, sick in a hospital, etc...So he said, "If you're sure you want to spend your life with me, will you marry me?" I started giggling, curled up in his arms, and said, 'Without a doubt, yes!" (He even asked me twice to make sure it wasn't the medication talking). He asked if I was sure, and I said, "I have known for months that you're the man I want to spend my life with, and I know it is God's plan." And he said, "And God does not make mistakes."
A little while later, I sit down in his lap, he pulls out the most BEAUTIFUL ring, and slips it on my finger. :-)
I never thought the day would come that the godly man I've always dreamed about and wanted, would propose and profess his love to me! I'm in awe and I'm in love. :-) Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for bringing me through the trials in my life I have gone through, for through them, I found Him, and then, when I was ready, He brought me to Dustin. And for all of that, I will always be thankful. :-)
Now THIS is a real life, God given blessing! It is perfect!
