Fiancé

I am so wonderfully in love with Matt. The last week has been a week I will remember for the rest of my life. I came back from visiting my family in Mexico (which in & of itself was amazing because I haven't seen them in 7 years) & was greeted by my handsome boyfriend dressed in my favorite flannel at LAX. Long awaited embrace & kisses followed the whole morning over. Later that morning marked a moment that would change the rest of my life forever; Matt said some beautiful words then asked me to be his wife. Every day since then has been great. Getting use to being called one another's fiancé is exciting. What gets me the most is hearing my family talk about the wedding & the planning. Gives me chills. One of our first "activities" as an engaged couple was to see Paul McCartney at the Hollywood Bowl last night. It's almost symbolic for us. Our love began talking about & listening to The Beatles, & here we are seeing Sir Paul on stage giving an amazing performance full of stories & beautiful music. I am so happy.

In love

I didn't expect Matt & I to fall in love. Not that I expected less than that, but I had learned not to set my hopes so high. I don't believe in luck or chance but the beginning of our relationship was struck by a number of fortuitous events that even I cannot deny, but that, I believe is fate. Matt & I met a week before my 22 birthday at a Halloween party at a mutual friends house & really hit it off. We had great conversations about our family & jobs. I put my number in his phone & went home with a smile on my face. We talked a few times in between, but on the night of my birthday he drove to my house & we sat in his car & listened to The Beatles LOVE soundtrack & talked & kissed for hours. Falling in love came very naturally & quickly for us after that.
