I love our love story. It started 21 years ago, in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where small town boy bumped into big city girl during PT formation. We had late night conversations over walkie-talkies because we were not allowed to have cell phones. We snuck kisses in the urology section of the library during the day. Jason bet me that he could make my boots look like glass using only a cotton ball and water. I lost the bet and we went out to dinner. Three months later, we became husband and wife.
Sometimes losing is winning.
In losing I gained a friend for life. In losing, I gained the privilege of being called mama by two little human beings that aren`t little anymore. In losing, I gained the blessing of God through the valleys, mountaintops, the twists, turns, sweet joys, and trials of life all built on the foundation of our marriage.
I love that God used the U.S. Army as a conduit to bring the unlikeliest of couples together. I love the depths of love God revealed in our marriage after we put Him first. I love the home we have built together, a home that serves the Lord and has hosted laughter and tears. I love my husband, Jason Newberry, who loves fiercely and embodies a nobility and honor most men could only aspire to.
Happy 21st Anniversary amor…..looking forward to many more.
