So world that is viewing my blog meet Manny... yep i am marrying this man next year. some of you maybe surprised and wonder why you havent heard about him before... let me explain. after talking to my mom she said that she is a little shocked because i don't seem like i am over the moon excited about marrying him... i actually am! but i have learned that over the years i have embarressed myself by talking about boys that just really in the end meant nothing, but just sucked the life out of me slowly over the course of our friendship. so when manny came bounding into my life i had my arms out to block any advance he tried to make on my heart... not only did he have get around that but also the walls that i have erected over the years... he tried valiantly to get around that then he had to conquer my stellar personality and cutting words... so basically i was a horrific beast to him... i tried so hard to push him away. but he persisted for whatever reason, cuz if i was treated the way i treated him (oh wait i have!) i dont think i would have persisted like he did... anyways, over time and for many reasons my heart softened and i realized that the things that held me back from loving and accepting him were crap in comparison to the amazing heart that he has!!! so here are some of the things that i love about him... i love that he is forgiving, understanding, strong, loving, willing to jump through hoops for me, persistant, loves his family, genuinely a giving person that gives his whole heart to the people he loves, i love that he giggles with me, i love that he is the hardest worker i have ever met. i love that he makes my life a little easier that i have a partner in my daily life, i love that i miss him when he is gone (which is often) but i am HAPPY when i see his face come around the corner! i love that i believe in him and all that he has to offer me and the world around him. i love that i feel safe and cherished by him... i love that he knows that i am a butt and he still loves me. i love that he is nice even when he is in pain. i love that he is sooooo tired after work but he still wants to see me... and goes out of his way to do just that! i love that when i was soooo tired after my flight home from greece i could fall asleep on his shoulder at dinner when i couldn't be home in bed!
i love him. so now that you know just some of the things that i love about him i will tell you this... that after i made the decision that i loved him and didn't want him to go anywhere i didnt introduce him to anyone because i wanted to cherish him and keep him close to my heart. i wanted to protect what was now sacred to me, so a didnt tell anyone how i felt about this amazing man that blesses my life... so if this hurt you or you are concerned about me... this is my reasoning!!! so world my wedding will be sometime next october just to give you the heads up!
