Thankful Thursdays

Ok so I have been having a hard time lately trying to decide what to blog about. I decided to take a page out of the book of Jenna and designate a subject for a certain day, thus Thankful Thursdays. Each Thursday I will talk about something I am thankful for. Today for the debut, I feel it is fitting to talk about my sweet husband.
When I was in about the ninth grade Annie Schmitz did a Bible study with us and expressed the importance of not only saving our bodies for our husbands, but also saving our hearts. It was after this Bible study that I began to pray that God would not let me date unless it was the person I was going to marry. This became a source of heartache for me in high school when all the other girls had boyfriends and I did not. It wasn't that people didn't ask me out, but rather that I knew the people asking were not the ones for me. I remember crying and feeling so alone, but I always had that prayer of giving my heart completely to my husband and not just the leftovers from those I had dated. My freshman year of college I met a boy and in true Kimberly form, I got impatient with God and went on a date with a boy knowing that it didn't feel right. After this experience, I knew that wasn't what God had for me and decided that this time I was going to truly wait on God. I remember feeling so content, because I had finally wholeheartedly given this area of my life over to God. It was not long after this around October, that this boy I had always thought was cute started sitting by me in Sunday School. It seems funny now, but I remember thinking why in the world would DREW HUNT sit by ME of all people. I went home from church that first day and mentioned it at lunch, my mom immediately said "Don't discourage him, he is a good boy." I just couldn't imagine why on earth he would even be interested in me, but apparantly he was. This continued and in December we began officially dating. I guess we went through that awkward first few months, but I really don't remember feeling that way, it was always evident that this must be a God thing. 5 1/2 months ago I married Drew and everyday I thank God for sending him to me. God knew exactly what I needed; Drew & I compliment each other in so many ways.
It amazes me how one person can make you feel so complete, but that is what I feel with Drew. He is a hard worker, and he does so much to provide for me. I always had this idea of what my husband would be like, Drew is all that and more. It takes a special man to watch Project Runway every week, and it takes an even more special man to put up with me. It is for these reasons along with so many more that I couldn't feel more blessed to have Drew as my husband.
