Would I change how things have happened in our life? Well realistically yes, and we both totally agree on this. As we are watching Juans little or not so little anymore grow up, and have girlfriends they "love" it takes us back to when we met. We were the exact same age almost to a tee! Why do 14-15 yr olds think they know the world? How can they love someone? As we think back to when we were that age, Juan and I were so in "love." Only little did we know we were far from loving each other. Did we have deep feelings for each other? Absolutely. Being married almost ten years now, what we thought was love has grown to such a mature understanding and adoration for each other. Respect for each other, and the "your the only thing I think about" is bygons. Yes we think of each other multiple times a day. If I can stress anything to my kids is to enjoy your teenage years. I gave up that time in my life to enjoy friends, enjoy sports, date so many girls, dont get grounded! We did everything the absolute hardest way. But here we are, we are making it, we are treading on, and we are doing a dang good job of it! We have come so far! And that I am proud of. But I hope my kids will choose a different path. I gope they choose school first, and girls second.

I told Josh that I hope our kids choose not to have a steady boyfriend/girlfriend. It wasn't easy and I think they are kind of a joke looking back. I too missed out on fun things because I was so crazy wrapped up into my boyfriend. Glad you guys are doing great though. But yes, we could have picked an easier route. :)
