Here is a little back ground on myself, I grew up the oldest of four kids in East TX with two loving parents. My siblings and I are all only about a year apart, so that means there are four of us within five years of age. We are very close knit, and did just about everything togther growing up.
I remember when I was little and wanting to play soccer, so my parents put my brother, who was only a year younger than me, and myself on the same soccer team. I hated this because he was better at the sport than I was. But when he wanted to play little league football, my parents placed me on his team as well. Which he hated because I was older, and played better than he did for a while. My parents grouped my two younger siblings in the same fashion. So instead of having four different sports going on they only had at most two going at the same time.
I am now 21, my brother Jacob is 20, my brother Justin is 17, and my sister Jolie is 16. Unfortunately my parents divorced close to four years ago. They are both happily with other people now, and everything has evened out and become the new normal. But my parents going the a divorce was tough and brought its own challenges. Each one of my siblings handled it differently, but that is another post for another time. I was 19 years old when I met the love of my life, Joshua Mack. He was 22, and amazingly shy. We had gone to the same high school, and he was a senior my freshman year of school. I had seen him around the school, and he was always the Jock, the cool kid. He dated the head cheerleader and was on the varsity baseball team. I had a huge crush on him then. But time past, and he was in college playing baseball. I was still in our home town doing a couple of classes here and there at the local junior college.
In may of 2014, Josh messaged me on Facebook and wanted to go on a date together. Which I would have loved, but I was about to leave for the whole summer on mission work to a Summer Camp. So I told him that I couldn't, but that when I got back at the end of the summer I would love to have a rain check. I didn't think he would still be around when I got back from the Summer Camp, but he messaged me on Facebook again in September and asked me on a date. I was so excited I don't think I slept at all the night before.
We had our first date on September 11, 2014. And yes I know that is a national holiday, but on this day it was one of the best days of my life. We had an amazing time, and I was literally on cloud nine when I got home from the date. We hung out every chance we got for the next three days.Saturday September 13, 2014, we had gone to the lake that day with his sister, Courtney, and his nephews. They apparently fell in love with me and told him over and over to ask me to be his girlfriend. I didn't know any of this was happening, but I found out later. So when we got to my house that night he leaned in and kissed me, and then whispered "will you be my girlfriend?" I was ecstatic, and squealed "Yeessss!"
Now fast forward two years, and we are happier than ever. We live in a beautiful home, we both have careers, and we have our puppy dog, Bevo. I am so blessed that God chose this man to come into my life two years ago. I have never been shown more love or understanding than for this amazing man, and I know I will never find someone as caring as him.
Things we like to do in our spare time include guns, and water sports. We love going to his families ranch in Waco and shooting our guns. Just being outdoors is our happy place. I hope this gave you some incite into m world, and helped you know a little more about myself and Josh. Please comment if you have any questions or sweet remarks.
