One year ago this weekend is when Shaun and I really got to know each other better and became friends. It was the during the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Today, we will be walking together again with Grace Institute students and staff members, but as a couple. Who would have thought that we would start a relationship? Jolene and Maggie did! They knew we were meant for each other a long time ago.
We started dating in July and Shaun has been absolutely wonderful! Our relationship has blossomed from becoming good friends to being best friends. He is the one I want to plan a future with and start a family. We may have opposite personalities but our views and values are very similar. However, he is definitely more patient, calm, and rational than I am, which in a sense balances out our relationship. I have grown accustomed to all the PDA (public displays of affection) and don't mind it so much anymore; sometimes I even like it.
I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my partner in life and to share adventures with. Shaun is a really special person and the more I learn about him the deeper I fall for him. I don't know what I would do without him now, he's like my other half that I couldn't possibly live without.
