OUR STORY THUS FAR
Me and my wife met when I was 10 and she was 13. I lived in Missouri and her in Mississippi. She lived next door to my grandma which we visited about twice a year. I was always eager to go to Mississippi to visit family but mostly for that walk through through the yard, across the fence and through their yard up to the door...I would knock nervously and just hope she was there. Sometimes she was, sometimes she wasn't. Most of the times she wasn't I would leave a message with her mom and it would be no time she would be home. We both grew older and ended up in relationships with other people. We both still had strong feeling for each other and still had the feeling we were meant to be together. But every time I was single she was involved and vice-verse. I ended up having two children with a girlfriend I had at age 18. And then shortly after ended up marrying another girl and moved to Arizona We were married a little over a year and it ended. I moved back to Missouri About 6 months after being back home I got a call. Soon as I said hello I hear the voice on the other side with a strong southern accent and I knew who it was.We talked for a long while and as soon as we both mentioned that we were single we knew it had finally became time. I started driving down to Mississippi every weekend to see her. Eventually I moved in with her at her mothers house so we could not be as far apart. From previous marriage she had already 3 Children so together we had 5 Kids. It wasn't long before she was pregnant and we had a child together. A little boy. And we named him Tristen after Brad Pits Character on the movie Legends of the Fall....as did every parent that named their children Tristen. I went through a few jobs and eventually found a job at Recovery Network. While working there I met a friend who had been volunteering for Habitat for humanity. We had been trying to get a loan for a house many times and we were not getting anywhere. Both of our credits were destroyed. So with the suggestion of my friend Daniel I applied for a Habitat Home. After a few month we got the call. We were accepted and we were getting a home big enough for all 6 kids and me and my wife. Soon after we started building and soon after that we were moved in. Right Before Christmas. ---Well its getting late so I will update this post later to continue.
