And here is my Honey!

I would like you to meet the love of my life and soul mate!! His name is Matt and we have been married for 5 1/2 years! I met Matt about 7-8 years ago, (I have lost track), anyways, we met through a mutual friend. I lived in Chattanooga, TN and he in Newnan, GA...he is a youth pastor and had come to Chattanooga to do a college weekend retreat, which was being hosted at my parents house. Well, I really had better things to do than to go to a bible study that Friday night..but I am so Glad that GOD pushed me in the right direction. I ended up going to my parents...LATE of course, and my honey and I actually had a rough start...I thought he was snotty and arrogant, (which he was..LOL), but for some reason that attracted me more. He stayed with my parents at there house since they were hosting the retreat (NO, I had my own apartment), so I was basically with him all weekend...we became good friends and then I found out he had a girlfriend...which was not a big deal cause I was dating someone at the time. I became good friends with his girlfriend and over the next couple of years we would all take trips back and forth to visit with each other. Let me say this one more time before I can go on with the next part, WE WERE ALL FRIENDS, HIS GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE GOOD FRIENDS...NOTHING EVER HAPPENED BETWEEN MATT AND I WHILE THEY WERE TOGETHER!!!!
So, about 2 to 3 years went by and I got an terrible call one morning from that mutual friend that introduced Matt and I...the friend said that Lindsey (Matt's girlfriend of a lot of years) had been killed in a car accident. I was devastated...some friends and I got in the car and drove to Newnan for the funeral and to support Matt. When we got there we immediatly went to Matt's house to see him...he looked so tired and shocked...my heart sank when I saw him and I didn't know what to say...all I could say was I am so sorry...this shouldn't have happened to her.
Matt seemed to get better that night and over the next couple of days. Not to say that he was over it that couple of days...just saying that when you a christian you deal with stuff better than others.
My friends and I left that night after the funeral and Matt gave me hug and said to be careful going home...I told him I would call him in a couple of days to check on him. I got in the car and began to cry because I hurt for him so much. The ride home that night was silent...no one wanted to leave Matt and we also had no idea what to say to each other.
A week later I decided to call Matt and check on him...I called his house and his mom answered and said Matt wasn't there, and that he had gone fishing with his pastor. I left my name and number and hung up the phone. He called me back the next day and we talked til about 3:00am . We talked every night after that until he ask me to meet him in Atlanta to hang out...and we have been together ever since.
Now, a lot of people would judge and say that was way too soon for Matt to move on and at the time I probably would have agreed but after Matt and I talked about all that, Matt made me realize that there is no set time that one person is suppose to grieve....I mean I still miss Lindsey to this day but I also know that God put me in Matt's life for a reason....and we fell in love because of God and everything we had been through. We did go through a rough time with a lot of friends that judged us and did not approve of our relationship...but those people didn't matter...the only peoples opinion that mattered was Matt's and mine!
So, that is the short version of my fairy tale story...and yes...we lived happily ever after!!!!
