There's a ring on my finger that gleams in the sun and sparkles out of the corner of my eye, reminding me of the wonderful fact that when I graduate college, I'll be getting married!
My wonderful, wonderful boyfriend has now become my wonderful, wonderful fiance. He proposed on a summer evening, August 21st. I'll never forget his sheepish, happy grin as he knelt before me bearing a black box in which was nestled the shiny diamond that now adorns my left hand. We met Thanksgiving my freshman year of college and we've worked hard ever since to stay in contact in spite of the hundreds of miles between our respective colleges, our various busy schedules, my frequent trips outside of the country, away from America's cell service and easy wifi. It hasn't been the easiest relationship yet, but it just makes me all the more sure of him, of our future, and of how happy he makes me.
While we got to spend a wonderful summer together, we're back in our busy school schedules and hours apart once again. But it's easier to be apart now that I have a concept of a whole life together. Two years doesn't seem too long at all, before we can start a life together, become our own little family. And I am so excited for that future. Whatever the future has in store, I know that I'll have someone to share it with.
I love you, Cody :) And I can't wait to share my life with you.
