I'm so incredibly happy today.
He asked me to marry him last night. Well, I think his exact words were "Sooo... since I love you, and you love me... would you like to marry me sometime?"
It seems I've been waiting my whole life for this man. And the closer God has brought us together the more I realize just how perfect he is for me. It's not just the big things that line up. It's the little insignificant things, too.
During the last two weeks while he's been visiting, I found myself thinking back over the last year that we've been going together - if it can be called going together when it's long distance, and I still question that. *grin* Anyhow, I was thinking over all the things we've learned about each other, thinking over all the things I wrote on my list from years ago, thinking of all the small things I didn't even dare to hope for because they seemed so trivial and even silly. And yet he so perfectly fits even those things. Even the things I couldn't put words to, but I wished in my heart.
He is absolutely perfect for me.
If I had written out every single detail of what I wanted in a man, everything from personality to eye color, from height to a description of his smile, from sense of humor to the way he hugs me, from passion for truth to a knowledge of God's Word... if I could have found the words to write out all those desires and longings, he couldn't have been tailor-made any more perfect for me.
And I'm so grateful to God for bringing him to me.
And I love him more than I ever thought I could love someone.
In case you're wondering... no, I don't have a ring on my finger yet. That's going to have to wait until I see him again. But I'm perfectly content with that. I've got his heart. The ring will wait.
