They say there is a first time for everything and there have been a lot of firsts for me lately.
For the first time in my life I know that I am with a man that truly loves me. I don’t wonder. I don’t question. I don’t worry. I know. It’s in the way he looks at me. It’s in the way he treats me. The patience he has for me when I am having a bad day or when I’m being ridiculous. The way that he has accepted Taylor and I both for who we are and as a package deal. The little things he does for me every day. The time he spends with us. He makes sure I feel special and taken care of. I’m certain that I am not always easy to love but he makes it seem so simple.
I’m engaged to be married... me, engaged. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to be in the cards for me, but here we are making wedding plans and talking about our future together. Our big day is just around the corner and I can hardly wait.
I have never been in a wedding dress before. I have been in a few bridesmaid dresses over the years but never THE dress. Now it is my turn. Finding my dress was so much easier than I thought it would be. Cori, my maid of honor, had picked it out for me to try on. Thankfully she did because I had seen it on the rack but passed it up thinking it wouldn’t be flattering on me. I put it on to humor her and when I looked in the mirror I knew I had found my wedding dress.
I’m looking forward to many more firsts… building our life together, growing our family, and planning new adventures.
