Love, Look What You've Done to Me...

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter whatever else there is, it's not enough. ~Ann Landers

My whole life I looked for it, I waited for it, I suffered heartbreak for it, I cried myself to sleep for it, and now I have it, LOVE. I've always felt loved by my family and friends but I wanted that special kind of love.... The love you look for all your life, the person who makes you whole, the person you spend the rest of your life with, the person you rock next to while you watch the sun go down, the person who still gives you butterflies even though you've been together for 6 years. I think.... no.... I know I've found him. Ever since I was old enough to know what a phone was, I've been waiting on him to call. While I was waiting on him to call, he was just one county over running around in the back yard with a shark he caught at the beach.


I went through so much in high school, I only had long term relationships but I never felt the way I do now. Chad and I have been together for going on 6 years. We have traveled across states together, met each other's families, worked out at the gym together, flew on a airplane together, we've been gem mining together, we've been to the Biltmore House 5 times together, we saw my grandmother get married together, we saw the Blue Angel's together, we've climbed a mountain together, we've seen two lighthouses together, we have done so much but we've only been together 5 and a half years. Chad's grandparents are about to have their 50th anniversary, Chad and I have only have 5 full years together. I can't imagine what we will experience in the future, and I can't imagine how I would go through life without him. Chad is my rock, the person I can trust, the person who makes me feel my best, the person that I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with.
