A simply spelled, eight letter word, that holds even more meaning that you'd expect. Why do I bring it up? No, Anthony and I didn't get engaged recently, but it's defiantly a topic that him and I have been talking more and more about. I'm not sure what has really been bringing it up, maybe it's all the pins I'm seeing on my Pinterest, or the talking about it on Facebook/Twitter, or the fact that quite a few people in m life have recently gotten married or are soon to be married that is stirring up all these feelings. I just don't know, but I am honestly loving every second of all of the talking and planning ideas I've been doing!
Am I looking to rush and be married? No, I am more than okay with taking our time, we've been together for a little over a year. I know there are still things we need to do before we get married, the biggest thing is to live together for a while. And to be honest I'm not rushing to move in either, but just knowing that I have found "the one" is such an amazing feeling, I can't help but picture my future. There have been other guys in my life that I thought were the one, but being with Anthony, experiencing the relationship we have, it's made me see that what I had with them is NOTHING in comparison to what Anthony and I share.
I have been lucky enough to have the most amazing role models in the love department. I am the youngest child of three, born to a set of parents who have been together since high school. They have known one another pretty much their entire lives, but became a couple in high school, got married right after it, had their first child a year later, the second child two years later then me two more years later. And the best part? They are still happily in love as they were back in the late 1970's early 1980's when they started their relationship. Of course they have had their ups and downs, what relationship doesn't? But they've over come it all and have stayed just as strong as ever. When I look at my parents, it's funny because I think to myself I want that. I want to be married for 31 years and still act like they just got together. I want to be able to say that I am living my life with my best friend and nothing is going to change that. When I hear the words true love, in all honesty my parents to me are the definition of that. But you know what makes me even happier? That when I look at my relationship with Anthony, I see a little bit of them in us. If I can find even the littlest amount of them in us, I'm not worried about our future at all.
With each passing day, I am finding myself more and more in love with Anthony. And I can't wait for the day that I say yes, and I really can't wait for the day we say I do and I become his wife.
