Thankful


There are plenty of things I should be doing right now... studying being the top of the list. I do have a test in approximately three hours, but my sister has been, Ahem, hassling me of late to write a blog... I figured Valentine's was a good excuse to tell the world about my favorite man.


It's true, we haven't even been dating for four months yet. Maybe that will take away the sweetness of this for you, but not for me. To me, it's just perfect. I moved across the country and I couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, it was a bitter-sweet  move and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss my sweet babies back in the NW, but it was right. The timing could not have been better. Everything - and I do mean EVERYTHING - fell into place. From getting out of my lease, to starting school, to having a place to live. It's funny the things we worry about from day to day when the truth is God makes things happen.

Without further adieu, my top ten favorite things about this man...
1.) Loves God with all of his heart and LIVES in that everyday.
2.) Loves his family unconditionally.

3.) Constantly striving for excellence in all that he does. Not in a prideful way, just that everything he does, he does it at 110%. From disc golf to work ethic, excellency. :)
4.) True to his word. Face value. No facade.
5.) Walks in humility.
6.) RIDICULOUSLY competitive. Trash talks like there's no tomorrow.
7.) Selfless. Always putting others before himself.
8.) Generous.
9.) Chivalrous. Opening car doors, paying for things... just good 'ol southern hospitality :)
10.) Gentle, sweet, caring, quick to listen and slow to speak.
11.) Reliable friend and confidant.
12.) Excellent communicator.
13.) Lets me cry when I need to.
14.) Watches chick flicks with me. Even lets me fall asleep during movies.

15.) Is so goofy... just fun. We have so much fun together. Genuinely enjoy him.
16.) Makes me laugh more than I knew i could and makes me smile at just the thought of him.
17.) Has the BEST sense of humor.
18.) Oh, and definitely nice to look at. A fine specimen of God's divine beauty, if you will.

... sorry... got a little carried away... I guess it's my top 18 list! :)
So thankful for where we're at in life. So thankful for this wonderful man. I am one blessed girl. I keep asking myself, "How did I get so lucky?" Not sure I'll ever know the answer to that one, but I'll just keep thanking God for this amazing man each and every day.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
