23 and 30
The numbers in the title of this post represent my and my husband's age. Now take a look at us. Would you have thought that we had such an age gap? That we are even as old as we are? I met Roberto when I was 10 going on 11 and he was 16 or 17, I'm not totally sure. We met through church. We were in the same district in NYC(smaller than a stake) and our families had become great friends. As an 11 year old girl, I looked up to him (literally and figuratively). He was funny, he was nice, gosh just the fact that he talked to me left me in awe. Even though we had this age difference, I found myself becoming such great friends with him and he didn't seem to mind being my friend which was just SO COOL to me. Did I ever think that this same guy would fall in love with me? No, I didn't. As a little girl, I guess now I admit- I had a little crush on him; loving the fact that he would dance with me at the ward parties and acknowledge me in public. I loved the attention.
