It all started when I was working at hy-vee. I started working there when I was 14 and I loved my job! I live in a small town so I know pretty much all the customers. I loved it when a friend or family member came in...it just brightened up my day. Occasionally Oreo and her parent(s) would come in and we would talk for a bit, then they'd leave. It made work seem enjoyable. You never knew who you were going to see. All of a sudden I didn't see Oreo come in with her parents anymore. Instead, Hubby was the one coming in to shop with them. I never really thought about it at the time. But he would always make me smile and laugh! He always made it a point to find me too. He would do this hilarious wave and I thought he was just being funny. Both my and hubby's parents quit going to church in Shen so we were in search of a new church home. We had visited Council Bluffs A/G a couple times. But we didn't feel connected at the time. So we stopped going and started attending Clarinda. In the mean time, hubby's parents decided to try out Council Bluffs, they liked it and so they started attending there. Not long after that we realized God didn't want us to stay at Clarinda, we were just using that as a excuse to stay close. My mom had received a scripture and we believed it was going to be used at the church we were suppose to be at. So while we were searching for our new church, we decided to try Council bluffs (CB) again. That's when we heard the scripture. In the Sunday morning church service the senior Pastor used it in his sermon and preached a message me and my family really needed to hear. So we figured that was the church we were suppose to be at! Me and Brad weren't too thrilled becasue from the looks of Sunday morning there weren't too many youth there. So mom said we would drive up to youth group on Wednesday night to check it out. And when we did we knew it was the church for us. Anyway, so my family and hubby's family now attended the same church again! Oreo and hubby wanted to go to Wednesday night functions too but their parents didn't really have a reason to go up there both Wednesdays and Sundays. So my mom would take them with us. That's kind of where it all began for ME. I would hang around hubby more and we became best friends. We would usually go to Taco Bell after service because it was the hot spot....lol. I remember the night I started the struggle of dealing with the thoughts of whether I liked him as just a friend, or more. The guys took one side of Taco Bell and the ladies took the other. I was sitting in the corner against the wall, I don;t remember how it happened but all of a sudden Taco Sauce packets were flying! lol. Hubby had thrown a packet at me and I started throwing them back. For those of you who don't know, Taco Bell taco sauce packets have funny sayings on the front. Me and Hubby snatched a pen and started re-writing them with funny things....in an essence, we were "passing notes". That night I couldn't determine if I had a crush and me throwing those packets was a way of me flirting....or if he was just a friend and we were just being goofy. I spent the next few months pondering that thought. Then that summer, Bee asked me if I wanted to go to Driver's Ed with Hubby. I told her yes, because I hated doing things alone when I didn't know anyone and the classes were in Essex, so I literally didn't know anyone. lol. I didn't really think Hubby would agree though. I mean I grew up with him trying to always AVOID girls, there wasn't anyway he was going to go for this! But he did! We started Drivers Ed together and that is truly, where it ALL began!S
