The story of us..

Okay, so I have had a super busy weekend but a weekend spent getting to be around my Wes is priceless to me, especially now that I am not able to see him as much as I would like since he is in Athens and I am in McDonough,  any time spent with him is so precious.
So where to begin..... I just am in one of those moods where I just want to shout from a mountain top how much I love that kid. So instead of doing that I will write about him here.

So let me take you back 5 1/2 years ago.. I was a junior in highschool. I was at a crossroads in my life where I was tired of the same ol guys who were out to break your heart or just had the wrong intentions. So I gave it all to God. I remember claiming the phrase that I was "letting God write my love story". I am sure I quoted it all the time because I remember reminding myself every day that I was not going to search anymore for "the perfect guy". I was gonna focus on my relationship with Christ and let him bring me the man of my dreams. I never imagined it would happen so soon but it did. In April of 2006 I met Wesley at church and later actually got to meet him at a friends house for a movie night. Wesley was so different than any guy I had ever dated, he was smart and had his head on straight. And there was something about him that captured me from day one. He was the ONLY guy I saw after that night I met him. Needless to say we started dating about a month later, and the rest is history....

I have never in my life been so happy. Wesley makes me feel important. I always have him on my side telling me how smart I am or how beautiful I am when I am feeling not so. Its the little things I love the most, like the flowers he brought over after I had a horrible day in dental hygiene school, roses for no reason? KEEPER! Or the text messages he will send me before a test or interview telling me not to be nervous because they will see how amazing I am.

Lord how do I deserve such a person? I can truly say he is my best friend. I share everything with him and he is that person I want to talk to about everything. From venting after a stressful day at work or calling to ramble about a great deal i found at a store, he listens and is always there for me.

Every single that that happens in my life, he is there. I cry when I think about the fact that God placed him in my path when I needed him most. And we both agree God wrote our love stories and led us to eachother. And although its hard to not try and take the pen from God and write our own story, I am so thankful we have been patient and trusted God with his timing. I truly mean this because I recently had to really sit back and stop trying to be in control. After graduating from college, I moved back from Athens to McDonough, just until I found a full time job then I would move back to Athens and get my own place (that in May would become mine and Wesleys when we get married). Well things havent really gone as I planned them and I have still not found that full time job. But I am trusting God with this because His timing is perfect. Although it might be hard right now not being in the same town as Wesley or being able to do what I went to school today full time, but we are growing so much and learning to appreciate eachother even more during this time. God knows what He is doing and He will place the perfect job in my path at the right time. God is taking care of us and will always do so.

I dont think I can emphasize enough how amazing Wesley is. He makes me SUCH a better person, and those of you who truly know me and Wes probably see how we complete eachother. For example, he is the sweetest most laid back person I know. When I am in line at a store and someone tries to cut, he calms me down lol. Or when my emotions get to me when I see a needy person and I want to cry, he calms me down. He is perfect.

(This picture is from church camp in 2009, he is so cute!!!)

Aside from being my handsome, genuine, loving fiance, he is one of the smartest people I know. I am so incredibly proud of him and all he has accomplished thus far but even more excited for the next four years for him, as he goes through pharmacy school. Last weekend was his White  Coat Ceremony and it was so special getting to have all of his family and my parents and grandparents there to support him. He was the most handsome one there :)
I really dont know how I got so lucky to have found the most amazing guy in this world.

(This is a picture from the White Coat Ceremony, ughh so stinkin' proud of him!!)

All I know is that in 8 months and 28 days, we will be starting the first day of the rest of our lives together and I cannot wait. I hope I make him the happiest man in the entire world because thats what he has made me (happiest woman ;) ). I dont deserve him, but God has blessed me with him and I will count my blessings twice everyday for the rest of my life.  I cant wait until someday (years from now) when God blesses me with a beautiful little red headed baby, I couldnt ask for more than that :) So I went to a website to find out what our future children would look like (yes I know its completely inaccurate but i loved seeing the results!!)
I love it! Ha so much fun!!!
Anyways, here are just some pics of me and my man showing our true colors :D






Ha these all just make me laugh so much. I love being able to be silly with my best friend.
On another note, I had a second interview at the dentist in Alpharetta. She was mainly concerned about the distance and that I would grow tired of it, but hellooo in todays economy I realize I have to take what I can get. So hopefully she lets me prove that to her, I should find out this week!!

Also, yay for my future brother in law who moved out for the first time this weekend. He has got himself a nice apartment in Roswell. It was kind of surreal seeing him in his own place.

My mom and Greg are in JAMAICA right now. I miss them so much. I am so used to seeing and talking to my mom all day, so I miss her terribly. She is my best friend :) Please pray for safety for them during this week and safe travel home.

I am going wedding dress shopping this friday with my mom, nana and future mother in law again... I plan on making a purchase Friday so wish me luck. After thats its officially time to start wedding planning :) I cant wait!!!!


Okay so thats it for tonight, I think I have ranted enough. I am going to get some sleep. I love you all that are taking the time to read this!! <3
