June 8th, 2002, I woke up that morning feeling horrible. The night before our Camp Willow Run staff had gone to Rocky Mount for a night out. We were going from my house over to another girl's house to watch a movie. Because I knew where we were going, I led the caravan. Sadly one car of 2 guys got caught by light and lost us. I tried to go back and find them but to no avail. (We later find out that they just decided to go back to camp, since neither one of them had a cell phone at the time to locate us.)
I felt horrible for losing them, especially since I was attracted to one of the guys in the car (Jeremy). The next morning at camp, I ran over to his boxcar first thing to apologize. Luckily he didn't seem to mind and I ended up going to lunch with him and bunch of other staff guys.
While we were eating, everyone commented on what a pretty day it was and how we should go sailing. We agreed to meet back at the dock after changing into our suits. Wouldn't you know? Jeremy and I were the only two to show up. We decide to go sailing together...it turned out to be an epic trip! We spent time talking and getting to know each other. While we were out there, the wind died. We were two inexperienced sailors and had a hard time trying to get us back in. Finally 4 hours later, we have a ski boat tow us back to camp.
We arrive back to camp where everyone has gathered for dinner, right by the docks. Of course we were now the talk of camp, but we really didn't seem to care. During that 4 hours, we really got to know each other and began to fall each other.
This year marks 10 years since we took that first boat ride. The picture above was our first picture together taken a few weeks after that trip. We look so young..and skinnier!
Jeremy and I were reflecting on the past 10 years just the other night. It seems like this picture was taken so long ago yet it seems to have gone by so fast. It's amazing to see how the Lord has directed our path and now we are married with two awesome little boys. I love this man and feel so blessed that the Lord has put us together. I can't wait to see what the Lord has for us in the next 10 years!
