Unlike most love stories, ours isn’t what you find in most storybooks. Devin was 31, and had two boys. I was 30, and had three kiddos of my own. We had both been down long, rough roads. Neither of us were really “searching” for love, and in fact, had gotten to points in our lives where we were content being independent and raising our children. When we met everything just flowed. The night of our first date, we sat in the restaurant parking lot for hours and hours (well after they had closed...) and just talked! We talked about our past, what we wanted for our future, and just life in general. Being with each other felt so natural and easy. We have been together ever since. Things haven’t always been as easy as that first evening full of conversation and laughter, but they have been worth it. We have grown in love, and blended our families into one big, beautiful one. God carried us through the difficult parts in our life and crossed our paths at the perfect time, His time! We may have taken the long way around, but we finally made it to where we were meant to be. We cannot wait to commit to each other, and commit our relationship to God. Thank you for sharing this amazing day with us!
