"Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 New International Version (NIV)
I have been on cloud nine now for about a five months now... I am engaged to the love of my life and I have never been happier. When I heard people talk about wedding and engagements before I always felt like it was so far away for me. And now it is here and I can't get enough! All the wedding hoopla is awesome, and well, to be honest, I bought a dress two weeks into our engagement! But, that isn't why I have a smile permanently situated on my face! That isn't why when I walk every other step feels like I am subconsciously skipping! It is simply because the person I love has promised that we are going to share the rest of our lives together. Yes, I am excited to be-bop down the aisle with a little bit of style and I am excited to see my little brother all dressed up in a tux, but I am more excited for the day, week, month, year after that! I have always wanted to do something meaningful with my life to serve God and others, and knowing that I get to do that with someone else is more than I ever knew I wanted! Does that make sense? I guess I am saying that this promise is more than I ever hoped it would be... I wish I could give a little piece of my happiness to everyone!
