made for each other
Dave and I are both pretty comfortable saying that we are made for each other. We truly feel blessed by God to have found one another and had that epiphany: “ooohhhh, ok, now I get it. . . this is right.” With that it mind it is pretty hilarious to think that, if we were made for each other, would we have known that when we were nine? Were we made for each other starting at birth and just go through life like that until we find eachother, or do we change and move around until we lock in (like a slot machine)?
I am not saying I know the answer, but I am going to share some photos from Dave’s childhood that make me think, it was just a matter of meeting up. Enjoy!~
I don’t think I would have ended up with the boy who had the “no absences” award, or the “best science experiment”. However “doodle king” strikes me as attractive for one reason or another.
This is a grenade one of Dave’s friends gave him to communicate, “you are the bomb!” I am not sure if this makes me like Dave more or the girl who gave it to him. Can you imagine how cool it felt to be told you are the bomb with an actual hand grenade in 1996 or when ever he get this? Either way, Dave was part of this transaction and that is endearing to me.
This one is a real heart stopper for me. Maybe because I am pretty sure my little brother Tim would have been right next to him making a clay oozie. It is comforting he would have fit in the family, even then. The fact that Dave needed to clarify it was not just a gun, but a GAT, well, it just shows he is a man who strives for excellence and details count on important issues.
Last but not least. His Cabbage Patch Cat. He assures me that Xavier Roberts gave the cat a terrible name in true Cabbage Patch fashion (I got a CP cornsilk who’s name was Dorcus). This cat has been loved, therefore I love this man even more! Wouldn’t you?
I hope this post didn’t make anyone sick to their stomach. I just took a romantic spin on some pretty hilarious stuff of Dave’s I just had to show you! Really though, it does drive home the point that Dave is too perfect for me!
I would like to clarify a little more. It’s not a GAT, but the GAT. It also represents the “Year of The Gat”. This was preceded by the “Shoe String Potato Scare”.
the GAT, although made of meager materials, solved many a’ conflict throughout high school.
where is “My Buddy”? he was definitely the man for Dave back in the day.
I think about that question all the time when I wonder why Sam and I didn’t meet earlier. I particularly like the cabbage cat, even though it is dressed more like a rainbow bright friend. I’m inspired to go track down some of Sam’s old stuff.
a) this post is hilarious.
b) that cat-doll is scary.
c) isn’t it the best feeling in the world to meet the person that you were meant to be with? i finally know what its like and it’s holy-crap amazing.
This only proves..God knows who goes with who in this world. You tow are perfectly matched. I’m so happy you two found each other. Yes Jess, you would had a crush on Dave at the cabbage patch Birthday party when you where 4. Remember the great words of Alison Phillips…. I shoudadah known.
