My Beau

*Warning, this is sappy.*In the beginning of freshman year, I was on and off dating/crushing on this old middle school friend. This was when I met Brandon, and forgot the other kid. I thought he was the most adorable thing in the world, but he barely knew my name. Eventually we became friends and he asked me out in the most awkward conversation ever.
We're celebrating our 3 years together and I'm so excited. We've grown up a lot in the past few years and I love it. We've both become stronger in our faith, in ourselves, aand our future.
And he could not be a better person for me. Last post when I was stressed, he brought me flowers that night, we both got off at 8, and we had take-out salads from crispers and organic dark chocolate covered espresso beans and watched an old movie. Little stuff like that has been perfect for us. I love his heart and everything he stands for, and how he makes me a better person, too.
He's studying EMT now and will do paramedic and firefighter and nursing and all kinds of crazy stuff. We don't really know how everything is gonna go down with his training and career paths,we're planning the best we can. But he's driven and I'm so proud of him. And I'm amazed, I mean he wants a career and he wants to marry me, and travel, and do mission work, and adopt kids. He's religious and devoted and believes in purity.To good to be true right?
Yeah, that's my guy.
This sounds like a ridiculous "OMG I love him he's perfect" teenager post, but sometimes that's how it feels. Trust me though, I know that neither of us are perfect haha. We've had many fights, issues, tears, everything. But we know we'll be better people on the other side of whatever we go through.
He puts up with me, takes care of me, and relies on me as well. Since graduation I feel like everything has been a hiatus, and even in high school too. But always having him by my side has given me assurance and faith no matter what.
But he isn't totally perfect. I mean, he can't write an essay worth crap. But he does give me a venti soy latte from starbucks for every essay I write for him. ^_^
So, long story short I love this boy. I'm blessed to have him in my life, and I couldn't have asked for a better man to have grown up with, and it only makes sense to grow old with him, too.
Who knows where life will take us, since we are in the pivotal point of young adulthood where anything can happen. But I know we will be together in it, because that makes us better than we could ever be apart.
I <3 my fella.
