Emotional Day

Phillip and I went to a wedding today. Phillip was actually in the wedding, as a groomsman. It was nice to see him dress up and walk down the isle to participate in such a romantic day.

As I was watching this ceremony of our friends, I couldn't help but take what the pastor said to heart. He said "It's not about finding the right person when you get old enough and mature enough, but rather finding someone to grow and mature with you." Those words really got to me and made me realize that you can find something so young and make it last. What Phillip and I have is real. It made me fall in love with him even more.

He also talked about being pure and transparent with each other at all times. How powerful. If a person can be themselves entirely in front of their soulmate, it's love in one of its purest forms. I feel like I have that love with Phillip. I have never felt more myself than I do with him. I don't have to appologize for being me, or feel like I have to look or act a certain way. What a great feeling.

After the wedding was said and done, Phillip told me he can't wait until we have a wedding. He's always said he wants a wedding and wants to marry me, but that's the first time he said he can't wait. That excites me because now I feel like he wants to get married and is ready to get married. Of course, we'll still wait until summer 2011, but it's nice to know that he's ready.

Overall a great day. :)

Busy Summer

I have been super busy this summer and so swamped! I haven't had much time to write, but today I do so I'm going to write.

So far, Phillip and I have been able to spend so much time with each other. It's been so great! Last week we went out on a date to the Studio Movie Grill. It was by far, the best date I've been on with him in at least a year. Other than that, we've just hung out a lot.

2 more of my friends got engaged this week, and 2 people I've known for years got married this summer. It's really hard for me to be patient when other peoples' excitement is thrown in my face. :/ Jealousy is definitely a feeling I've felt a lot this passed week. But alas, I will wait my turn. Every day I wait, the more exciting I'll be when he proposes. God has a plan. I will follow it.

I move back to College Station in 4 weeks. I'm not excited to be doing the long-distance relationship again, but at least I'm halfway through with it.

I'll keep you posted, as always.
