Meet the Family?

Although it mostly just dangerous to advertise your personal life over the internet I feel comfortable and excited to say that Caleb and I are back together. We dated for nine months last year, had a 5 month hiatus (over which the last 10 weeks we had no communication), and are now officially & intentionally pursuing a relationship. Crazy! I remember telling my parents more than once that "It would just be a MIRACLE of God to get back together!" And, you know, it has been. It has actually happened fast considering our first face-to-face meeting in many months was just May 13th.

I thought I learned a lot over the past 5 months, but it turns out I am learning even more over the last 5 weeks. We have had a few obstacles come our way, as well as many conversations about the past, the present, and the future. We have been learning to navigate life more with a "we" mentality rather then a "you" or "me" mindset (although I am sure I am just discovering the tip of the iceberg on learning to be selfless). God has just given us a precious time to re-get-to-know one another under less stressful life situations. Although not without growing pains, it has been such a joy to be together and grow in our faith together. It is just amazing to see how God used our time apart to mold us into who He wanted us to be together. As Caleb says, "He just accelerated the growth!"

I am repeatedly amazed how good/kind/patient/prayerful/loving/considerate/calm/persistent/generous Caleb is to me and how such a great fit he is for me & I for him! There is SO MUCH GRACE in his life.

Turns out Caleb and I are sort of big nerds (BIG SUPRISE!) and don't have a "group" of people we both individually hang out with outside our small groups. We have a lot more one-on-one, long-term friendships (me more than Caleb). So, it's been weird who to know to bring around, and besides, we just like hanging out and do life together by ourselves too. All that to say, Caleb has only met two of the Kunnari Klan extended family. Well folks, he is about to dive in head first at a family wedding this weekend...all 60+ Kunnari's at once :) It will be fun! Plus I get to wear a new dress - whoo-hoo!!!!

So, if you like, you can be praying for God's clear direction and voice in our relationship, as well as our own individual lives as we move forward in His sovereign will.
