Happiness

Lately I've been smiling every morning I wake up. I smile before I go to bed. I'm so happy that it's hard to keep it all inside. In 6 more days, Marc and I will be moving into a brand new house that we own!! 2 years ago I could have never imagined us in the place we are right now. We live in Rio Rancho, NM and while it's super tough at times, it is worth it. It's tough because we love our friends. Friends mean soo much to me and spending time with them is one of my greatest joys in life. In Rio Rancho, we don't have that. We have our work friends and I've met some great people with that. But its not the same as the ones I've grown up with. And not in the sense of growing up since a little kid, but growing up during the past 7 years. I've changed more than I ever thought I could, and the people who have witnessed that, and loved me at the time, those are the ones that have a huge place in my heart. Like I said, its tough not having them around but with all that Marc and I are accomplishing right now, it makes things much better. We have solid jobs that we both enjoy and have people at work that make our days go by quick. And I cherish the relationships I've made with them. Which is another reason I'm so happy lately. I've been able to branch out of my comfort zone...the one where I have built in friends. We were able to move to an unknown place and still have people we can count on.

But the real reason I'm so happy and thankful lately is because of Marc. I have no idea how I found such a caring, loving, thoughtful man. Often times I feel like I don't deserve someone as special as him. Honestly, he is the best thing to happen to me in my entire life. When Marc smiles at me or laughs with me, I always think, how did I get so lucky? Every day he'll send me texts that bring a smile to my face. He'll tell me how much he loves me or how he is the luckiest man to be with me, and it always makes me blush. Because I feel like the one who is lucky to have him. About a month ago, someone stole my camera. And for those of you who know me, my camera is my world. So the next day, Marc went out and bought me a brand new camera, wrapped it up, and left it on my pillow for when I got home. It made me cry because he is too good to me. When I look at the ring on my finger, I get overjoyed at the thought that someone like Marc wants to spend the rest of his life with me. And that is why I'm so happy lately. Because I am about to marry the most perfect guy out there and for some reason, he feels the same way.
