Jake

I've met someone though we are far beyond the point of just meeting as we are now seriously discussing marriage. It seems like I've met the man I'm going to marry.

I have fallen in love, except I don't like saying I've fallen in love. My love has been a choice one step at a time. I'm feeling emotions to a depth I've never felt before in my life. My mind is full of a person in a way it has never been. I think about him all the time.  My most current thoughts are filled with moving closer to him and what it will be like to not be long-distance anymore and my heart jumps for joy.

People say I'm happier which bugs me in some senses. I don't like that my emotions can be so tied to one person, but he does bring me such joy. Many people have commented that I look happy. Does that mean I didn't look happy before?

People ask what I like about him. His smile is what first caught my attention; I love his smile so much. His work ethic and straightforwardness; his desire to follow the Bible. I love his friendliness and how we can talk or text for hours. I love his smell, I find it absolutely intoxicating. I love how every interaction with him has been comfortable. I love how he fits right into my family and we both get along with each other families. And his kisses are just fabulous.

Recently, he was talking about our retirement. How did my life change so drastically in a year? At this time last year, he was not even on my radar. Now, I sit here a year later talking about retirement, grandchildren, and marriage to this man.

I cannot wait to continue to go through life with this man.
