Anniversary

Today marks 2 years since Nathan and I first met! First date went a little like this: I got ready about 2 hours ahead of time. I took the time to super straighten my then long hair, and put my pretty girl makeup on. We were going to meet somewhere in the halfway point from where we both lived - about 70 miles away from each other. We were set to meet at Starbucks, the perfect first date spot! I went to Barnes and Noble and got a table in the Starbucks nearest the window so I could see him in real life from afar before we met. See, we met online. I got a text some time later asking where I was. I was at the wrong Starbucks. Mortifying! He said he would come to me (what a gentleman) and I got to see him from 2 stories up walking to meet me. I had a butterfly circus going on in my belly! He came in with his hands nervously in his pockets and sat down. That was the beginning of forever. It gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes to think about that. That was our last first date ever! God had us in mind from the start, and it is a wonderful feeling. It hasn't been the easiest 2 years. We have had some severe losses and hardships, but we have also grown a lot and made a lot of things happen together too. Life has been hard lately. Money problems, life problems, work problems... but we will overcome everything together! I am so happy to call Nathan my fiance, and I cannot WAIT for him to be my husband. I have lucked out with the sweetest, most thoughtful, manly, handsome, funny, strong, caring man in the entire world. I have been blessed.
