"Neeley has a crush on you!"

On March 21, 2010 it will be one year since we said, "I do!" Wow what a year! New home, new city, new callings, new challenges, new experience, and new blessings! On a gift Robert gave me for Christmas it said "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!" In high school, I was given a book (I can't remember who gave it to me, but I really liked it!). As I read this book about life and what the future holds, the book invited you to pray about your future and the path God has set before you! So being a typical teenage girl, I prayed about my husband! Okay, you can laugh...its dorky, I know! But as I got older, the prayers seemed more real...who is God creating for me? What kind of Godly guy will he be? o and goodness Lord, I hope he is cute! God - THANK YOU! All that time I was praying for Robert Michael Lane and didn't even know it! On our first date..o yes we went to MOE's, Robert and I recognized we had a spark! On our second date just a few days later, Robert came to pick me up from the Pelican Perch in Litchfield, as he got out of the car, Robert was bombarded with the family hanging over the porch and some dangling like monkies in the tree!! I am so thankful he didn't run when he had to chance to escape my crazy family! He met some of the fam as he picked me up for our second date! (It was around the 4th of July...big tradition in our fam!) As he opened my door for me to get in, my dear ole sweet cousin Edward decided to shout out: "Neeley has a crush on you!!!" Now three years later we are married and celebrating one year of marriage in almost two weeks!  the title of my blog is "It takes two!" As Robert and I started dating and getting to know each other we had a saying that we put on our engagement party koozies: "It takes two, you and me babe!" Our little motto was affirmed as Jeri told us that marriage is work, its about making choices, its putting each other first, its a "we" thing! After one year of exploring life as the Lane's, it is definately a WE thing! "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!"
