Choosing Love



I couldn't tell you the exact day that I fell in love with Aaron.

Just over a month of dating he asked me to be his wife.

We were 20 & 22.

Married one year later.

Football for a job.

Had our first girl just after our two year anniversary.

Injuries.

17 months later had our son.

Moved around.

Settled in Oregon.

Blessed with a new career.

Renovated a cottage.

Had another little girl.

Made memories with family and friends to last a lifetime.

Said goodbye to our dreams and accepted God's plan.

Moved to Massachusetts.

Walked through dark valley's.

Still holding hands.

And I realize neither of us really "fell in love".

This wasn't an accident.

We knew what we were doing.

And we've been "choosing" love ever since.
