:::Mine:::

Wake me up when September ends... well that's in like 1 day so I better hurry and write this ehh?? :)
jk.

I am an engaged woman.
...

let me repeat that.


I am an engaged woman.

!!!! WHAT??? When did that happen???

Haha honestly I can't believe this phase of life is even real for me right now. I've DREAMED of this for as long as I can remember. I've had my wedding planned since I was like, 6. (Of course, my styles and tastes have changed since then, but you get the drift.)
The shock isn't only from me tho, I've had the same reaction from my best friends. They keep saying, "Jo, remember when we talked about being engaged in 5th grade c vffff and how we wanted to get proposed and all of that?? Well... it's like, real for you now."
Everybody is literally freaking out about it.

But I prolly have more freakout moments than anybody else. I'm so incredibly happy/excited/nervous/freaked/shocked/ecstatic. It's all so surreal to me!!

-- I can't believe I now KNOW the face of the man that will be waiting for me at the end of the aisle. (Never could I guess that he'd be so dang hot!! Lucky me:) I can't believe I now KNOW the name of the man I've been praying for all these years:)
-- I can't believe I can actually write my first name with my crush's last name.... and have it actually be LEGIT!!!! :)

I am so blessed. I am blessed to love and be loved by a man like my fiance.
Not only is he really fun to look at, but he has the most INCREDIBLE heart.
The people he loves in his life, he truly LOVES.
He is real and SO down to earth.
He loves God and doesn't try to fake their relationship; when he's on fire he's on fire and when he's dry, he doesn't cover that up.
He's taught me more about myself than anybody else I've ever known.
He loves me SO unconditionally, through my mistakes and my imperfections and my emotions and my temper and even at one point my slight unfaithfulness.
He is the MOST forgiving person I've ever met in my life.
He is not afraid to be himself around me, and I think we are more than 100% comfortable around each other.
He makes me laugh and laugh.
He's sarcastic (which makes for great little flirting sessions since I'm pretty sarcastic as well:)
He's not impressed with superficial things in life, he's the simplest guy.
He brings such security to me; since our first date he's been so sure about us and his confidence has only grown since then and has even rubbed off on me.
He sucks at talking on the phone, in general, but when I'm on the other line, he's the exception:)
He's not afraid to let me in his heart, and I'm so grateful because it's such a precious thing.
He seeks out mentors in his life; men who are wise and in love with Jesus and he seeks out their opinions and values them!
He's SO GOOD at communicating! Seriously, I thought I was good but since we've started dating, I realize that I have a LOT to work on.
He's so patient with me:)
He loves me SO well.

And the list could go on and on, no joke. He's incredible. I'm so blessed. If there's such a thing as a soul-mate then I've met mine:)

Thank You Jesus.
