Just Because Life is Good

I'm dating my best friend. Do you know how great that feels? If you don't yet, you will someday. It's the best.

I had a boyfriend the first time we met. Luckily for me, Heavenly Father took care of that for me within a few days and we started becoming friends.

Sometimes you don't figure out what you're supposed to be doing in life until you start going the wrong way. Such was the case with our relationship. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father is merciful and patient and that He led me back to him. I'm also grateful that my boyfriend is a forgiving and kind person. He's pretty amazing. I'm a big fan. He also looks super good when he snowboards. Jk. I actually haven't seen him snowboard but one night before we started dating, we were hanging out and he said he liked snowboarding. I pictured it in my mind and I'm telling ya, it was a good picture. I was tired and for some reason said out loud "I bet you look reeeaally good when you snowboard." I was embarrassed for quite a while about  that one. It's now a running joke between us...and everyone else who was there.

I'm grateful for a relationship that makes me feel like I want to do my best and be my best... Not because I have to be good enough for him but just because it's the right thing to do. I'm grateful for a relationship that makes me feel like I want to be closer to my Heavenly Father. I'm grateful for a relationship that feels clean and pure. I'm grateful for someone who loves the Gospel and who is a happy and calm person. I love that he can tell me directly but extremely calmly when something is wrong and I don't feel like he's mad at me. We talk about it and then it's over. I love that. He's humble but confident and kind and welcoming to everyone.

I mostly love that he is my best friend. There were a couple rough weeks when we weren't speaking much or really seeing each other and I remember feeling every day like there was no point in a social life if I couldn't spend time with him. Everyone else seemed irrelevant. So I'm feeling pretty great about the fact that I get to spend as much time with him as I want now. :)

Feeling lucky and oh so blessed. :)
