Friday...

5 years ago Friday Mike and I spent the day preparing to be married.

We had no idea what the Lord had in store for us during the first years of our marriage.

We knew we loved each other.

We knew God created us for each other.

We knew we were ready to begin our journey as husband and wife.

*

I love remembering when Mike and I first met, started dating, got engaged, became husband and wife, and all the other things we've shared together. As we celebrate with friends who expereince those things, I think back to that point in my life.

Brad Paisley has a new song and it has such a great lyrics for remembering those times!

I Thought I Loved You Then

Brad Paisley

*

I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me mesmerized

3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss you goodnight

I hadn’t told you yet but I thought I loved you then

*

Now you’re my whole life

now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than it’s ever been

We’ve come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

*

I remember taking you back to right where I first met you

You were so surprised

There were people around But I didn’t care

I got down on one knee right there

And once again I thought I loved you then

*

Now you’re my whole life

now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than it’s ever been

We’ve come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

*

I can just see you with a baby on the way

I can just see you when your hair is turning gray

What I can’t see is how I’m ever gonna love you more

But I’ve said that before.

*

Now you’re my whole life

now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Well look back some day at this moment that we’re in

And I'll look at you and say I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then...
