We're getting married!

I remember back in my "wild" days before I started going back to church that my family wanted to scheme to get me to go to a singles event that my brother went to, and of course a young guy doesn't typically turn down the possibility to flirt with cute girls so I went. Which is were I first layed eyes upon the most beautiful woman in the world. I remember very specifically her smile and how in seemed to hold me captive. Though not much long after, she left to serve a mission and I went back to old habits again. Until she got back and decided to message me and try to get me to come to church with her, which admittedly I wasn't really for but for what ever reason I decided to go when Sunday came around. I didn't stay for long but it lead to us talking more till we spent most of every day talking. (Yes clearly I realized I loved her first, if you know her you'll understand that she is stubborn lol) after she had rejected me she went on a trip to Idaho visiting her mission and ended up realizing the truth of her own love for me and once she got back that's when our adventure began! Though by that time I already was working on going on a mission too. Which she clearly decided to wait for me (I mean, I'm such a catch after all hehe) She truly makes me want to be a better person through and through. I couldn't imagine a life where I didn't have her to stand by, to struggle with, grow with, learn with, love with, fight with, cry with etc. They say that anything you give to a woman they multiply and I found that to be true with Morgan. She is the love of my life and I'm so excited to spend eternity with her.

I'm not going to lie I don't really remember the first time we met. However, I do remember how much he always made me laugh and how easy & comfortable it was to talk to him from the start! My mission was full of amazing experiences, I loved every second of it! But it also disconnected me from a lot of people in Michigan. When I got home I just wanted updates on everyone so I asked a mutual friend about Isaac and decided to reach out and invite him to church that Sunday! I misread his text and thought he said no so when he showed up I was delighted! Only to have him leave early without so much as a "welcome home"! My pride was hurt so clearly I reached out again, this time with slightly less positive feelings. Which then turned into talking and texting pretty much all day every day. He quickly became one of my very best friends and I looked forward to seeing him whenever I could! When he asked me to date him I said no, giving the lame excuses of "not being ready" blah blah blah but looking back I realize it was just me letting my fears get in my way! It took a trip to Idaho and talking with a couple of the very best people to realize how much I loved him. The whole time all I wanted was for him to be there with me to meet the people and see the places I loved! But of course, my stubbornness has its consequences, by this time he was already in the process of going on a mission of his own! Knowing what an incredible experience it is I was so happy that he chose to go and dedicate 2 years of his life to service. It wasn't easy waiting but there were soo many miracles and blessings that always made it worth it! He teaches me new things every day, is constantly making me laugh and has been there with me through everything. He is the kindest, most loving, supportive and genuinly good person I know and I am so excited to spend forever learning, growing and making memories with him! The good, the bad, the ugly, I couldn't dream of anyone I'd rather experience it all with!
