A few years ago, I began to feel desperate about finding a boyfriend. It seemed like everyone was getting married or engaged and I started having mental images of myself at age fifty sitting alone in my house with 54346 cats. It was very disturbing. Things weren't made any better when I was single as could be and I received an email recommendation from Amazon called "Get Married...What Women Can Do to Make it Happen." Talk about a burn! HA. After a few months of stressing, I just decided that I would find the RIGHT someone when the time was right. So cliche, but it's true. I just stopped worrying about it.
Pretty soon after that, one of my favorite people from high school (he also happened to be my ex...(a whole other story)) called me on a January afternoon right after Jordan & I got out of Environmental Science to tell me about getting his identity stolen. It was the most random call...sometimes we still chatted on Instant Messenger but we weren't exactly on the "phone call level" anymore. We talked for about an hour that day. I felt myself start liking the boy a little. Of course, I would have never admitted it to anyone. It took me a couple of months to even admit it to myself. I should have known he was a keeper when I texted him and said I was sitting at home bored and alone on Valentine's night. He texted me back and told me that I had him. I sweetly replied HAHA. He's so persistent --- one of the MANY things I love about him. Anyway, we went on our second first date in March of 2009. The rest is history...
Let's just say I have had some pretty interesting relationships in the past. I knew right away that this one was different. We had a few rough moments, mostly due to the fact that we are the two most stubborn people on the planet....but my relationship with Josh has been so enriching in so many ways. By the summer of '09, I knew I could marry him. My mom always said that once I fell, I was gonna fall hard....yeah, she was right.
We have been inseparable for the past almost two years and I wouldn't have it any other way. Josh is the most loving, sweet, amazing person in the universe. I adore him. He has made me a stronger and better person and he's soooo encouraging. I just can't say enough about how wonderful he is, but he knows how I feel.
Happy 22nd Birthday, Baby! I love you!!
