Why I want to marry Josh

Brother Gary wanted Josh and I to write a little half a page explaining why we wanted to get married, before we start our premarital counciling. I thought that I would share it with you guys, even though you know all of it already! (Oh and once I started I can't stop, so it is a little more than a half a page)


Why I Want to Get Married to Josh
This should be a very easy question to answer, but then again it is very hard to describe a feeling of emotion you have for another person. For others who have been in love or are in love, they just know the feeling and can relate automatically. I decided to write my explanation as if I were talking to someone who had never experienced what I am experiencing or an alien! So here goes…
God has given us many gifts in life. The bible says the best gift of all, besides his son, was the ability to love one another. The love I feel for Josh is more than just the automatic feel of love, as a mother feels love for her children; or a child that loves it’s parents. Those feelings of love come natural and almost automatic. What I got to experience with Josh was “falling” in love. I have been “in love” before but it has never felt like this.
The moment I ran into Josh, it was like a lightening strike. It was weird. I couldn’t stop looking at him, trying to see whom he was talking to, if he were possibly look at me too. At first it was not obvious to me.  It wasn’t until he passed by me and touched my leg to see the tattoo on my foot that I knew. Like a static shock, I jumped.  My friend, Ashley, knew it the same time I did because she looked at me and started to laugh. She said my eyes got so big, it was like I was looking at a ghost. From that moment on, I knew there was something there, and I wasn’t going to let it go until I knew what it was.
That was almost two years ago and I can remember the feeling as if it just happened. Well the feeling is kind of fresh because he makes me feel that spark every time he looks at me or touches me. It makes me fall in love with him all over again every time it happens.
The reason for wanting to marry this man is simple. I want to feel this feeling every day for the rest of my life. He is my “soul mate” and up until him, I never believed that that was a real thing. But he made me believe it. He is my best friend and a great man. He is strong hearted and strong willed. He is a wonderful provider and a great cook. He loves my boys as much as he loves me and I feel safe knowing that he is around us.
When I was a little girl I used to imagine what it would be like to have a loving and committed marriage, like my parent’s have. And in my past, I never thought a relationship could work without screaming and fighting. This beautiful man has shown me that love knows no hate. Love knows no anger, no bad words, and nothing but warm feelings and butterflies.
I love his man and I want to marry him for every reason you could want it marry a person.

NEW Book and Obsession!!

This one phrase changed vampire love novel series forever...If you loved Twilight you will die over the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

If you were like, over 18 and have had sex....Twilight was very disappointing after 3 books they finally have a sex scene and it was a kiss and bam she wakes up....well let me tell you....Dark Lover will not disappoint you!

I like to call the book I just read, a dark, romantic, book of porn. Well I call it that but it is so much more. I never liked porn. Never could sit through it. But this book is adicting and crazy good.

The author, J.R. Ward, truely has a gift! They way decribing two people making love makes you feel the hands as if they were touching you...it is amazing. There are nine books in the series and book 9 comes out in March. I plan to read all of them before then, or try to. As the friend who said the quote above said, each book is about each of the Brotherhood Members' story. The first book is about Wrath, King of the Vampire Species. It is also an introduction to the brotherhood and each of its members.

I don't want to ruin it for you, but I promise these books are worth the money! Kindle books are 6.99! What you would pay for one ticket to a two hour movie...but half of what you would pay to buy a porn! I hate porn, but it is the best thing I can describe...it satisfies every need you have when it comes to a good love story!

Let me know what you think after you read it and tell your friends!
