From the moment I was born the Lord blessed me. He blessed me with health, with (what my mom says) a good belly button, Christian parents and sister who little did i know would impact my life for many years to come. He has given me the best little brother i could ask for. One who is protective and loving, but yet competitive and isn't afraid to praise God's name. God has given me many opportunities, many friends, many more laughs than tears, many hardships which turned into strength, and many talents i didn't even know. All of these blessings might not have been apparent the first time i experienced them but there is one blessing in my life that within a week i knew could only have been God sent.
Jesse Lee Grysen
Little do most of you know he's quite the serenader :) it may only have been "It Girl" by Jason Derulo but it was quite something. After reading 50 laffy taffy jokes to him and snarfing down all the watermelon ones i knew that I had to find some excuse to hang out with his group of friends again in order to see him. So what do i do? Offer to sew his hat. Yep, only I would offer to sew a hat instead of asking to hang out again. I'm quite the catch i know. Well i finished the hat and whattya know i get to see him again :) this time his friend Josh tells me Jesse has feelings for me too! WHOA! excitement just flooded my whole body! A few days later i was over at his house shooting my first shot at a clay pigeon.Yeah i hit it. First and last try. Hey, when your ahead quit and stay ahead! We've been on the most classy dates. Mr. Burger, Culvers and Checkers! Just the way i like it :) Chicken strips and burgers what else could be better? Of course like the true gentleman he is he's taken me to Olive Garden and THE cutest and most elegant little restaurant in Gun Lake, no not the casino, for Valentines day! I've been spoiled with back and foot massages, tons of tickling (which never seems fair because i get one tickle in on him and it's game over. I've found the quickest way to escape is to try to run, but even then that usually results in being picked up and tossed on the couch) arm tickles and lots of laughs. He remembers things i like when even i forget! Let me also say he's quite the looker :) Im pretty sure all of you can agree i mean just look at him! Most handsome man in the world right?! Yep! and he's mine :) like i said God has blessed me unbelievably! When the words "I Love You" finally came out it was like a giant boulder just got lifted. Now i knew he felt the same way i do! I think i hugged him and didn't let go for at least 10 minutes. It's moments like that you have to hold on to because they are once in a life time. With each day we only grew closer, which also meant our relationship with the others family grew closer. I will say that Jesse's family now to me feels like my very own! His mom is an amazing cook (no matter what Cole says) who is always determined to make food from scratch in the healthiest way possible. She's become my second mom, just like their house now is my second home. If i'm not at my house i'm usually there and they have all taken me in with open arms. My family also thinks Jesse is the best thing thats happened to me. My dad has a buddy he can talk to about well whatever they talk about! And a quick trip to Arizona ensured my grandparents that he's great to! Not only does my family think he's the greatest but MY two favorite girls, Carley and Ellie also have found great interest in Jesse. In fact, i think i have been replaced by Jesse in Ellie's mind as the favorite babysitter! And the weird thing is i don't even mind :) By seeing Jesse all the time i've also been around his sister Kara and her husband Brett and their little boy Caden. O boy. He is quite the hoot! I've never known someone to love tractors as much as he does. He may be only 2 but he knows so much already! whenever he's around there will never be a dull moment! From yelling "GOOD DAY" all over the house to turning on the radio in Jesse's room and dancing his legs off he's a ball of fun!
All of that is only a short summary of what the past 6 months have been in my life. There is no way i could be unhappy even if i wanted to! As Carrie Underwood says "He is good, so good and he treats your little girl like a real man should, he makes promises he keeps, no he's never going to leave so don't you worry about me." I can honestly tell all the women and girls out there fairy tales do exist, Prince charming's are still out there, how do i know? Because i've been living one the past half a year. If this is only 6 months i can't even imagine how amazing my life will be in a year! Oh the Lord is so good! Every morning i am now thankful to God that i am awake, im alive, i'm healthy, and i'm in love with someone whose completely in love with me. I know i'm only 19 and i am sure i still have decisions i make that i should have done different but i am positive Jesse is the one for me for forever. There's a feeling you get when your with someone you know your going to have a future with. It's much different than any other kind of "Like" or "Love" you've had with anyone else. It's stronger, it's a feeling of always wanting to be with them, always wanting to ensure their safety, always wanting to be their number one, never thinking about a break up because that possibility could never happen! It's being completely content with watching tv on the couch snuggling rather than being dressed up out to dinner. It's wanting to do small things to make them smile and ensure them that every minute your away your still thinking of them. It's Love. True Love and my heart is so happy knowing i've finally found it and that it is safe in the hands of someone who wouldn't even think to ever hurt it.
so yes, i dont care if the whole world reads this, in fact i want the whole world to read this and all my feelings because i think the world deserves to know that there's a God who is full of blessings and love and who wants the best for you and there is someone out there He designed for each person to benefit and better them.
There it all is.
Happy six months Jesse Lee i love you beyond what you'll ever know :)
