The Drakes: love.

No, not because it is almost Valentine's day, but I am so in love. Cheesy sounding I know, but I am head-over-heals for "the one" that God gave me, Joseph. He is such an amazing person. He is studying so diligently... here is a small glimpse of "his life". (I know, this is what he always does, study)...

BUT he still thinks about me and does everything he can to please me. As he was walking upstairs (to continue to study) and as I just getting home from a wine tasting (hard life, I know) eating chocolate and watching TV, he said, "if you don't want to to the dishes I'll do them later tonight..." 1 of 12,345,468 examples of selfless-ness he shows to me.

When Joseph and I met, in February 2007, I had no interest in him or any "long-term" relationship for that matter. Well, then summer came. We both were in Dothan for the summer and I began to realize, O-M-G, THIS is who I am marrying. I remember vividly this moment. We were actually in Auburn for the weekend and I remember looking across the room at him and thinking, oh my goodness, I am going to marry this man and I don't even "love" him yet. It was the most exciting, craziest, scariest feeling I have ever had. Well, 3 years, 7 months later... I am married to him and I am in love. The Lord is great and amazing. We dated for over 2 years and we got to know each other. We learned about each other's prime times and not-so-prime-times. We formed each other and we made it so that we did not want live without each other. He proposed to me with the most perfect proposal (see previous blog post) and we have began our married life together and it has been the most wonderful 71/2 months of my life. We are still getting-to-know each other and boy does it have its ups and downs. We both love the fact that we know we are going home to the person we love. I overheard Joseph telling his brother that, "It's actually easier studying when you are married because you know she is here." I loved that. I am here, forever.

Well, on a lighter note. I know I haven't blogged in forever. I feel like every post I am posting I am apologizing for this... Everyday, once I get home from work, I look at Facebook for about 15 minutes (ridiculous, I know) and then look at all the blogs I am following, so about an hour later, I usually need to get my butt up to cook dinner, go to the gym or do school work, and well no time for blogging!

Well for a little update! We celebrated the new year... Happy 2011!!
