Today marks a full 1095 days since I first met Sara! Of course, besides being 2 full weeks + a weekend before the 1111 day marker, 1095 is exactly thrice the number of days God gives us in a common (non leap) year.
On July 15, 2008, soon after I arrived at the Dalbys' home for our regular C3 meeting, a beautiful redhead entered the abode. She wore a Heidelberg University T-shirt, reminding me of a high school trip with great memories to that old German city on the Neckar River, where I'd fly back to in a heartbeat. Introductions were made, pointing out that we both spoke German, so in such speech did our first conversation happen. It was pretty exciting to have a new, fun, kind friend with whom to practice and maintain that language. It was very nice of Josh to be accompanied by his sister that week.
After the Bible study, as people were filtering out, a game of Cash was initiated, and my new "German friend" and I partnered up, with very decent results. It was a lot of fun!
I was completely oblivious to what was later to come, in what ways this cute lady would impact and bless my life, just in the few short years to follow. I can only imagine how Sara will continue to bless my life in the decades to come!
