Shawn & I dated during high school, and then we caught back up with each other in 1988. I thank God for letting our paths cross again! My husband and I are best friends, and we believe that is a solid step that anyone should have in a relationship. It's great knowing that we can talk about anything. Another step to keep in mind..., always "discuss" problems. Yelling and fighting definately doesn't help the intial problem now does it?!?! And as they say, "Never go to bed angry"!! We have known each other for over 22 years, and each year gets better and better!!!
Having children was a task in itself. I had problems carrying, and honestly didn't believe that we would be blessed with them. The first child that I carried, Aarin Shane; we lost her at 5 months. The pain was unbelieveable!! Especially considering that Aarin's due date was Shawn's birthday. We didn't give up hope, and again I was with child. The doctor ordered bedrest and close monitoring. Arriving into this world four weeks early, ((and 36 hours of labor)), Troy Ethan was born!!! The best part of that day was when Shawn called his Dad. He wished Tom a "Happy Birthday", and "by the way, congratulations Grandpa!!" Yes, Troy was born on his Grandpa's birthday!!!
We didn't want our son to be an only child, and two years later, with bedrest and monitoring, our daughter was born. Casey Elizabeth arrived three weeks early, and..., are you ready for this??? Casey was born on Shawn's birthday!!! We couldn't get over how blessed we felt, considering that this was Aarin's due date. You can sit back and wonder, "Why the pain and now the joy?!" All I have to say is, "God does work in mysterious ways!"
