This blog is dedicated to the beginning of my relationship with Sarabeth's and how it came about. It's not meant to be a bragging post, just one that gives some of you some insight into the beginning of our relationship. I figured SB could use the encouragement when she is in Chicago, so this one is for you baby!
10/1/2005 - I took this picture of my phone because as you can see there is no battery left, but I really wanted to call her because I told her I would; enough to take a picture of my phone just to make sure I'd have the number.
10/8/2005 - Here is Sarabeth and Drew at Campus Crusade's Fall Retreat, one of the final confirmations that yes indeed, I did want to ask Sarabeth to be my girlfriend. Little does she know, that I sat up till about 2 with my friends Dan Blosser and Robbie Burg from Crusade talking about my feelings for Sarabeth, and how miraculously different she was from anybody else I had ever been interested in. Part of the discussion I had with Robby hasn't really been talked about ever, so I'll shed part of that insight. Robby really called it when told me that he thought SB and I would get married. At the time, I didn't really want to think that, because I said, thought to myself, "I know that the reason I'm getting into this relationship is I think that we do have a good potential for that, but I'm in no way going to think about it for the time being, just getting to know her and appreciate her."
10/14/2005 - Ahh yes, the first date as officially "boyfriend/girlfriend". We went to Danielle's house for pumpkin carving.
The first time Sarabeth came to church with emo Joe. We were still having worship in the old sanctuary back then.
4/30/2006 - The famed, "Joe...don't take my picture right now. I'm SERIOUS Joe, don't take my picture!!!" Shameless flirting in her dorm room at 63 Beech.
10/22/2006 - I asked her to marry me. She was sold hook line and sinker on the 5 year plan and was shocked like crazy, but sooo happy. I can't believe it's almost time for us to get married. I love her so much and I'm so excited for our lives to start as a married couple.
And finally, here's some of our engagement Pics. I absolutely can't wait for the wedding!!!!!! I love you Sarabeth!!
