My Greatest Blessing

Hey you,
        Remember this?! I just came to say.. I love you, STILL. And I am so so so glad I kept on loving you. When I started this blog (hey, my first blog was for you!), I made it in hopes to get you back. I wanted to win you over again. I had lost you and I was devastated. I will always remember crying in that stair case at 2am. No words can explain that hurt and emptiness. But I know you know how that feels.
       Go me because.. IT WORKED. Maybe it wasn't the blog. Probably wasn't. I will also always remember walking through that airport - NERVES. And I walked out of that gate, called you, turned around, and saw you limping to me. What. A. Beautiful. Limp. I hugged you for the first time in months. I came home. We bumped in the car like old times. You showed me around your new city, like I had showed you mine. You took me to your new "residence". You showed me how you had been getting along post-surgery and made me feel really, really bad for you. You made me want to kiss you. You kissed me when I admitted I was holding it back. You fell for me again. You fell into me again. You took me ring shopping that night. You cried with me that night when I had to leave. You became my official, for sure future that night.
       My future. 2 weeks short of a year later, I'm living that beautiful, amazing future. I said yes to your marriage proposal 7 months ago. I married you 4 months ago. Oh, my beautiful life because you became my future, my present, my forever.
       I have loved you for 3 years today. It has not been easy. It hasn't been perfect. But it has been exciting - with good and bad roller coasters. And through everything, I love you. I love you so much. I am so, so thankful that I can update this blog with this:
                 My husband is my greatest blessing.
                Our anniversary changed from November 15th to July 23rd.
                I MARRIED my greatest blessing.
               You're still my greatest blessing.
               I still love you.

Love, your wifey

                                                             Happiness

It's real.
Dang, we make one GOOD looking couple!

Just because I know you love it haha

        It had been a month of being in love, and I deeply hoped you'd take me to my first high school dance. You had just been to homecoming with Lexi Davis, so I was hoping you'd now choose me to take. Obviously, you would since you were in love with me.
        This was my favorite time of you. It got dark early and light late. It was getting chilly, sweater weather, and snuggle mood. There was yummy Thanksgiving food and Christmas music in the stores. It was basketball season. And my favorite, it was the season of falling in love with you.
        Our friends, Jezzy Diaz and Troy Mitchell, were talking to each other as well. As I walked to my first class on a chilly morning, Jezzy handed me a piece of light brown paper written boldly with black sharpie. I knew it was you. However, I wasn't allowed to open it until after school. After school, I opened it and it was clue #1. I was supposed to head over to Coffee Bean for clue #2 later that evening. It was dark when I went. It was awkward when I got there because the cafe was empty, and the guy barista was behind the counter. I awkwardly went up there and said something like "uhh I'm on a scavenger hunt and I think I'm supposed to come here." He then handed me a drink with my 2nd clue. I'm pretty sure this one told me to go to the place of our first date. So I jumped in the impala smiling and drove to the mall. Finding that clue in Starbucks was EXTREMELY hard, because 1. so many people felt like hot chocolate on a cold night and 2. it was DECKED out with Christmas decorations. The barista there also had to help me out. I'm not sure if there were any other clues or places, but I still have the papers to go back and check.  The hunt lead me to the huge Christmas tree in the middle of the outdoor mall in front of Harkins. That clue said something like "go to the biggest star in town." I had to text Jezzy for help on this one, because I didn't think about the big tree. I walked over there and found a clue in the tree. I didn't stand there to open it; I just jumped up in the platform, grabbed the envelope, and jumped off. Apparently Donovan was behind the tree expecting me to read it up there, so when he came out and I was gone, he had to call me back over. Before I even read the next clue, I turned around and saw him standing at the cheery, bright-lighted Christmas tree with a pink sign saying, "Light up my world, FORMAL?" Awwwwwwwwww, SO CUTE! Yeah I was pretty cheesy and smiling. Jezzy and Alana Blanchard, fresh out of soccer practice, were hiding behind bushes recording the whole thing. Adorable. They squealed with happiness at the cuteness when he popped out in front of me. Afterwards we headed back to Starbucks to get drinks. We had another awkward moment at Starbucks, because he wouldn't let me pay for myself so he had to call his mom (who was at Sports Authority buying Maya black sweats) to ask her to bring over her card. She brought it over, I met her for the first time, and he bought me a drink. It was a short awkward but cute conversation to end an adorable night. Afterwards, I went to Joe Henry Optimist Center to go to Parley's basketball game and I showed my parents the picture and told them all about it. Surprisingly, my mom thought it was super cute.

I'm sitting in a university's library. I just counted 39 people in this room. I have met approximately fifty people this semester so far. I walk by, who knows, hundreds of people on the daily. Out of all these people, all these interactions, all those conversations, not one person replaces you.

Not one person comes close to you.

I still see you as the best. I still love you the most. Heck, you're the only one I'm in love with. The only one on my mind.

Out of all these people, I picked you. I choose you.

Nobody compares to the literal "one and only."

The odds are no longer one out of our high school class of 86 people. No longer the one out of 2,000 teenage guys in Yuma, AZ. You're officially one out of 20,000.

I'm sure you're 1 out of 100 billion too.
