He is 99% cheekiness for sure...

@ 4:37pm my time and 3:07am Toms time he called me today…. I love it when he calls me randomly during my day after we have said good night already!!!! Those are the little things that make me happy, and make me fall more and more in love with him every day!

I can’t wait to get married, this is going to be one of the best days of my life, the day I become Tom’s wife. My mom and I were talking about the wedding yesterday and she said when we know what day he is coming we can plan to get married the following weekend. We are hoping that Tom will be able to come in like August so that we can get married in my moms back yard, or if its raining we can get married at our church also, either way I don’t care.

Our colors for the wedding are Red and Black, and I have tried to get things in my home that are Red and Black so we can recycle our wedding things all over our home. Im a recycler, if it can be reused then lets reuse it for sure, or give it to someone who can use it, don’t just throw it away. So I have bought vases for the red and black feathers to go in, and I have bought candles, which will be used that day, and I have gotten some candleholders also and we will be able to use them for candles or ashtrays at the house.

Im just so very excited to have Tom here, I feel like our life is starting now, I just feel totally differently about us the past few weeks in a good way. I feel as is I am calmer now than I have ever been, and don’t get me wrong I have bad days just like anyone but I feel calmer now. I do try to modify into our relationship as so does he too; we both are doing things to make us better. I believe when you are in a relationship you need to work together to make “us” better, better as couple and better as a team together.

I never thought in a millions years God would send me someone like Tom; he really keeps me on my toes for sure. He is one of the Cheekiest people I know, I mean he is 99% cheekiness for sure!!!!!  He always messes with me and says that there is no other girl in the world who would put up with him like I do, they would of dumped him a long time ago, or at least smacked him then left him hehe…. Not me, Im so used to it now, that there are some days I try to mess with him, but he always messes with me back, and then it always ends in his favor. ALWAYS!!!!!!! Grrrrrr ;)

Im just blessed that next Christmas I will be spending it with him Im sure of it, and we will have our little Christmas tree in our little house. I can’t wait to start traditions of our own for us and eventually our kids, I just sit back and wonder what we will do! Whatever it is it will be “our” traditions, and that just makes me smile just thinking about it =) …

Merry Christmas everyone…

We will be in it together ...

Jacob and Rachel- Old Testament Love Story

After Jacob ran away from his brother Esau, he went to live with his mother’s family in Haran. While looking for his uncle Laban, Jacob met Rachel, Laban’s daughter. She was caring for her father’s sheep. Rachel took Jacob to Laban who gave Jacob a job and a place to stay.

Jacob negotiated with Laban to work for him for seven years. In return Laban would give his daughter Rachel to Jacob as his wife. The Bible says in Genesis 29:20, “And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.”

At the end of the seven years Laban offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. However, at the wedding Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah, the older sister. Because, he said, it was not right for the younger daughter to marry first. The Bible says that Jacob continued to work for Laban another seven years to be able to have Rachel as his wife.

Jacob originally consented to a seven-year contract to wed the girl he loved. Even after the deception, he continued to work another seven years for the hand of Rachel.

Wow…. Jacob worked for 14 years for Rachel, and I think waiting 1 year for Tom is a long time, but what really is a year? It’s a whole year to get to know him better! I do have to say I we know each other pretty well; he knows how my day is just by how I say “Hello”. When he asked me what’s wrong I never think he is saying that out of habit or because he has too, I truly know its because he really wants to know what wrong with me.

When we were in Agra we went to this little white temple looking building, a very pretty building, but Im not sure if it would be considered a temple or not. Anyways there were only a few people in the whole place and Tom took this picture of me leaning against the wall next to this really pretty picture of some flowers. Its probably one of my favorite pictures of me that was taken the whole time we were in India. I feel like I was genuinely looking at Tom, my smile was real not for show, and I was just so happy right then and there. I can even remember walking into the building and just looking at everything, with amazement in my eyes, thinking how beautiful this building was.

Tom loves to take picture as much as I do, and so in this building he was the main person taking picture pretty much. He took pictures of 2 burial sites of 2 people inside the building, the walls, the pretty ceiling, and pictures of me of course ;) … He captivates me with how kind he is, and how loving he is with me, how when he would take a picture it had to be right on, and always looked great…

Tom never makes me feel like Im not good enough for him, or Im not pretty enough for him, or smart enough for him, he loves me for me. He never took a picture of me and said it was not a good picture, no matter now much I didn’t like that specific picture, he always says positive things to me. The other day he told me I am good exactly how I am, he loves me for who I am not who anyone wants me to be.

I was in my car the other day driving on the express-way and I was think how much I love Tom, how much he means to me, and how grateful I am to have such a wonderful man in my life. I speak with him everyday, from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed he is on my mind. There are no decisions I make that I don’t first think how this will affect him or us, because he is my life, and its important that he is part of my daily life as much as Im part of his daily life.

I often feel as if God put Tom and I on this earth to do something more than just get up and go to work everyday, come home eat dinner, and go to bed. I can’t even imagine the great things Tom and I could do in The US, In India, In Malaysia, In China wherever we choose to go our options are endless. No matter what happens in Our lives we will be in it together and that’s the best feeling in the world!!!
