How I met my husband?

My husband and I met at the Church in October 1985. I was baptized, and on exiting the church he congratulated me. Friday's were youth church and in the following youth meeting I AGAIN :* saw him.

He was a youth leader, and from that day onwards we started contacting each other frequently. That December I joined my parents on holiday and notice I really missed him. (No Mobil Phones) ;-)

Returning from holiday things happened fast.

We started seeing much of each other. We both knew that this was right and there was no doubt in our minds that we were meant for each other. What followed was normal for my husband and me but from the outside people reacted differently. Some kept on staring at my clothes, others winced when they talk about the date. Our true friends were happy for us.

What followed was the big question and we were both eager to find the right date and didn't want to wait any longer. High and Low the next available date happened 5 months from the day we met. We are blessed with 2 lovely children our son Leon 26, full-time in the ministry, and our beautiful daughter Chelene 22, is a hairdresser.

What is your love story?

Baby #8

Challenge #8 - Baby

started at Scrapping4funChallenges. Join us for some fun time!

I hope you all had a good new year's start.

We have a hectic new year start. We rushed my daughter to the hospital on the 1st of January, she was in so much pain we couldn't wait for the ambulance. She was in the hospital for 4 days with kidney stones. Auch!!!!! ;-(

I have posted about the young man of 28 years who passed away last year with cancer, other friends of ours were also at the funeral and the husband had also cancer. In September he was still going strong and was very positive. Well, he was in December in the hospital with a high fever and I don't know what else. He lost so much weight. He passed away on the 5th of January, the funeral is on Monday the 12th of January.

What a start in the new year!!

The new Challenge at Scrapping4funChallenges started and the theme is Baby. I made this layout, the pictures are from my son and me, I was pregnant with my daughter. I can not believe it is 23 years ago. Phew, time flies!!!!

This is my layout

I used Pion Design Paper, and some chippies, I embossed and glossy accents the chippies.
