OK! hmm do you want the short version or the application version
I went to JA in May 2012 with 3 other adults and 16 gr 11 & 12 kids for a Missions Trip, met my dear hubby three days before I left to come back to Canada when we had to do two evenings of youth events at his home church - turns out he was a youth leader too. We totally hit it off and chatted all evening for both nights -took some pics- and end of the second night he gave his number and asked if I'd call him to make sure I got home OK. a few days later I did, and he's called me ever since! best. decision. ever.
I went back in September 2012 for 3 weeks and met his family and friends and the two days before I left he proposed. Went back again for 10 days in Feb 2013, my father went for a week in April to do some work on their church and got they got to work side by side all week and got along great. Wedding was August 17, 2013 - best day of my life. I was there for just under a month finished up our paperwork, got home sent it off, they rec'd it Oct 1, approved me as sponsor Oct 17, 2013 and now it's in KGN and we do our long long wait. Hoping to go back in March 2014 for the first time since the wedding...bring it on, longest time apart to date.
