I just posted a series of older posts from 2000. In 2006 Rob and I wrote out our courtship story (August - December 2000) so that we wouldn't forget any more than we already had. Then I scrapbooked the story. I decided a while ago that I should put that all on here, but didn't get to it until today. So for now all the text is in place. I might scan in a few more pictures and mementos in the future, but for now, this'll be how it is.
As a warning for those of you who are thinking about reading this (what, all 1.7 of you): It's long. Can I write anything brief? Of course not. It's 35 pages, all told, in a single-spaced Word document. I've broken it up date by date, so each post isn't too long. But again, it's detailed and over-descriptive, so only read it if you're really really really really really really bored.
Each of these posts is labelled with the label: My Version of How Things Happened. That's the title I gave to our story.

Ok maybe I am really lame but I did read your whole story, well I skimmed over some parts but I love knowing how couples met and decided to get married. Yours was a great story and I have to tell you something. Rob reminds me a LOT of a guy I almost married. He even looks like him only my guy was a little heavier. As I read about how you met and Rob's comments I can see that he was a little hesitant in the relationship at first because he was worried what other people might think of it. My ex was the same. He was 7 years older than me ect. ect. The difference btwn Rob and my ex is that he followed the spirit and looked inside himself at his true feelings and decided that he was happy with you and as a couple and it didn't matter what other people thought. My ex let it get the best of him and the rest is history but I think Rob is unique in that way that he realizes what is really important. And it sounds like you knew from the get go and were proactive about being with him which he probably needed. You guys are a great couple and a great family. Thanks for sharing.
You READ it? Wow. ... I think Rob is unique in that way. Which is good, else we wouldn't be married (as your story shows)! ... And we laugh about me being "proactive". He'll tell people that I stalked him, and I can't deny that. Girls always pursued him instead of the other way around. Some guys just "got it" I guess.
Thanks for reading the story. I'm seriously impressed you stuck it out.
