4 Years and counting!

So we've passed the 4 year mark! That blows my mind! I found an entry in my journal the other day that almost made me fall on the floor laughing. It was from our 4 month anniversary and Logan had just told me that he loved me more than just puppy love lol. I was freaking out because I started looking at my Mom and Dad's relationship stats... met at 19 (I was 19 when I met Logan) Dad proposed within 4 months and Mom just said he realized he loved her and that he didn't want to let her go (Logan had just told me he really loved me and didn't want to loose me), they were "promised ringed" within about a year and then Mom planned their wedding in one semester! That last part freaked me out because I was silly enough to believe that Logan and I had to get married right then. I know I was crazy but hey I was only 19 and had a man actually care about me so I freaked. The funny part came when I was saying how we'd have to wait until after we both graduated college and that would be 4 years and I couldn't imagine being with someone for so long and didn't know if anyone would ever really wait that long to get married.

And now you see the humor! Four years later and we're still not married and still waiting... I'm happy that we are but it just kinda cracks me up that what I feared couldn't happen has happened and we're both okay.

I am still baffled at the idea of knowing when you're ready to get married. How on earth do you know? Still lost and that one but happy God has blessed me with a man who loves me and stretches me everyday.

I love you Logan! Here's to 4 more years ;-)

That girl...

So over the past few years God has been working on me in an amazing way. I have had the Holy Spirit bless me by guiding my life and my areas of self study and growing my relationship with my family, my friends, Logan and God. In this time I can't believe how different I feel and think than I did as that young high school graduate going to college feeling lost in the world and even in my own body. I am now on a path of following the guidance of the Lord and I know that I am that girl. I am the girl. I am the girl who knows who she is in the Lord and wants to follow His light. I am the girl that Logan was praying for when he wanted a real relationship. I am the girl my parents were hoping for when they found out they were having their first little girl. I am the girl God wants me to be. I am speaking this into existence and will live it out everyday! Pray for me in the process :-)
