Dalton's friend married this weekend. He was the best man and it was a very sweet service. The couple is very young and has a baby on the way. It reminded me so much of how our family started. When I saw that bride round the corner looking so young and full of hope, it reminded me so much of how I probably looked at seventeen getting married. I was so young and so in love....nothing else mattered. When we are young we don't think about anything but the moment. Then as we "grow up" we realize how we change and begin to ask what have I missed. I prayed for her right that minute as I cried my eyes out. I cried because I can so identify with her feelings that day.....a little sad, very happy, very naive, looking forward but not having a clue what is about to hit her. Please pray for her!! Please pray for him!! I truly believe that everything happens for a reason.....God brought us our sweet Dalton. He was truly a gift from God that came very early in my life. I just realize now how fast we had to grow up and that I was growing up with him! I know that God has a plan for this young couple too!

What a sweetheart you are ~ no, they don't have a clue. But don't you think that's a good thing :) some of my best married years were when we didn't know any better or expected no more than the moment at hand~
This makes me cry because your heart is so transparent and sweet. You make a great mom and I believe everything happens for a reason, too!
This post made me cry. I remember the day you found out you were pregnant with Dalton. We were best friends in 11th grade and were having the best time. I remember being scared for you and me. You, for what the future would hold and me, for having to go to school without you. I too believe things happen for a reason. I'm proud of you for making the right choices back then. I'm also proud of the person you've become today.

kaitlyn and i were so close and when i found out it really hit me hard! i look up to the people that can have babies and get married so young! god takes care of them in a very special way and i just couldn't see myself being successful if i was so young!
