Introductions: AJ and I

Aj and I met in the summer of 2006. I was on a camping trip with my cousin and her friends. Friday night was youth with her church and so we all met at the youth pastors home, then drove to Wasaga Beach. That is where I met AJ formally. (I informally met him at the youth pastors house when I helped Katrina hide his very expensive sunglasses, heehee). I was 15, he was 19.

We fell hard and fast for each other. I was his princess and he, my garage band king. We lived 2 hours away from each other and wrote daily emails to each other. We also wrote letters (helloooo Snail mail!) and used MSN as much as we could.

We vowed to be together forever Febuary 10, 2007. From then on we were completely smitten, head over heels, deeply, truly in love. He tied a white ribbon on my finger, and I did the same for him. Our love grew stronger each day.

It wasn't long before we started dreaming of the future, our future, together. We dreamt of marriage, children, growing old together. Soon we had it all planned out and couldn't wait to finally be closer to each other.

We spent as much time together as we could. He would visit weekends and we would go exploring, cuddle and watch movies, and go for long walks. Sometimes I would go to him in Alliston and we would have fun there.

On November 7th, 2007 I found out I was pregnant. I immediately phoned AJ who was on his way to work. We instantly went from being a couple in love, to a family. And that phone call changed our lives forever. He hung up saying, "I love you, BOTH of you." I knew right from then that he would be the best father to our little one growing inside me.

Nearly 7 years later we are still here! We have had immense struggles, heartaches, and hard times...but we are here, and we love each other. It has been the best 6 and a half years of my life! We now are a family of 5! I have a wonderful life. I am so incredibly lucky.
