A heart full of love

One of my friends at work just told me the story of how her now fiance proposed to her over thanksgiving break. And now I will be nostalgic. (Sometimes I like to be mushy).
I absolutely love my husband. I love how we met, I love how we dated, I love how we fell in love, I love how he proposed, and I love how we got married. A lot.
It is so crazy to think that I met someone who I knew nothing about a year and a half ago and now we are married. Love is a wonderful thing. When we first started dating it was so crazy and unsure. Matt was so wonderful and he let me control how fast everything went and I think that is probably the best thing that he could have done. I am kind of ridiculous in case you all didn't know that already... when we were dating, the first time I held Matt's hand I actually grabbed onto his arm because I was too afraid to hold his hand and I could tell he thought I was weird so then I grabbed his hand and I literally yelled "is this better!" and he just laughed at me. The first time I kissed him was on the cheek because I didn't actually want to be the one to initiate the kissing and we were at my apartment making dinner and I like made him bend his knees so that his face was level with mine and I told him to turn his head and I kissed him on the cheek. He thought I was so weird, but after I did it he was shocked and smiley. OH! so cute!! I love it! The first time we kissed I asked him before hand if he wanted to kiss me because I love making things awkward, when in reality I didn't want to make things awkward I just wanted to know. I don't like the guessing game of dating. But yeah..first kiss was definitely so funny. We were at my apartment again and he was about to leave and he kissed me out of the blue, I totally wasn't expecting it and after he did it I fell backwards onto my couch and started screaming because I was so excited! And he didn't even do anything except smile because he is just silly and I was like"Matt! You have to give me some kind of reaction besides that! I just screamed and fell backwards onto the couch!" and he laughed at me and said "okay!" and he came over and kissed me again! AH! SO CUTE! So perfect. He texted me while he was walking home after he kissed me and he told me that he had just jumped in the air with his fist raised high and he yelled with joy (if you can picture him actually doing this then you will probably laugh out loud because I just did) and then he told me that some guy was walking on the other side of the road and he totally saw him. hahah. oh husband. The first time he told me he loved me I asked him "are your feelings for me stronger than like?" like...really? who am i? Who does that! I do! but then he got all serious and declared his feelings for me and it was so good. Just so good.
Seriously, I just want every person to have the wonderful kind of relationship that I have with my husband. I love the memories that we have together and I love that through all of the memories I can always say that my husband was respectful and honest and patient. Every girl deserves someone that will help make them better by uplifting them. I am so thankful for all that my husband does for me. He is the best thing in my life. I remember when we were talking about marriage I was so so so so soooo worried and scared to get married because I am so young, but looking back on it and evaluating my life the way it is now, I had nothing to be scared of. I mean yeah, I still get people who are all "what? you are married? how old are you?" and people whipping their heads to look at my hand to make sure i have a ring when i talk about having a husband... but it's like..that stuff does not even matter. What matters is that I love my husband, and we are doing what the Lord wanted us to do, and we are so happy. I mean, this post was kind of more for me...but if you got something from it then yay!! I just want every person to know that they shouldn't settle. And if that person comes that helps you spiritually and emotionally and they make you want to be better and they are trying to be better too and if you both are doing what the Lord would have you do and if you pray and you know it's right then don't wait. Don't wait. If you do you are just postponing your eternity.
I just love my husband.
