Our Love Story

Skyler & I haven't had a typical relationship.  & I always want to remember all of trials we've faced together.
We dated long distance for 6 months, got engaged, did the long distance thing for two more months, and have finally spent the last few months together.  We had a 6 month engagement.  We come from very different backgrounds.  We were raised in entirely different cultures.  It used to make me crazy.  Now, I love it.  Our kids will have the best of both worlds.
We have dealt with a lot of things in the past year: crazy exes [some crazier than others], not seeing each other for three months at a time, going off of very little sleep so that we could stay up late talking, deciding who would move where, figuring out how we were gonna swing school and finances and getting married, amongst all of the day-to-day stuff that everyone has to deal with.
Some people think dating and marrying in just less than a year is crazy.  If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd have completely agreed.  I would have told you I wasn't 'that Mormon' or that I wasn't 'ready to settle down.'
I had no idea what it's like to truly find your other half.  I had no idea what it's like to be with someone who makes you feel the way he makes me feel. I had no idea how amazing 'settling down' can feel.
I am so blessed to be with a man who takes care of me, puts our relationship first, and loves me unconditionally.  I'm so blessed to have someone who is happy to do whatever I want: watch One Tree Hill and Maury with me, or snuggle up to whisper-talk all evening.  I'm blessed to have a partner: someone who does what needs to be done, someone who doesn't keep track.  I'm blessed to be with someone who looks at me, now, and who I can become in the future, not my past.  I'm blessed to almost be his Mrs. Jorgensen.
I'm happy. I'm so, so happy.
