Oh the joys of falling in love...

I guess it's like there has been a huge wake up call for me. All of those years of watching Walt Disney movies has caught up to me. There is really no such thing as falling in love. There is no such thing as a prince charming. There is no such thing as some of these basic things that I always thought were true when I was growing up. It's a rude awakening.

I'm not writing this to rain on anyone's parade. It's not like I've had a fight with my fiance or anything like that. I've just always thought that relationships or marriage was this magical experience in which infatuation and falling-in-love-feelings are always present. I know that marriage is going to be difficult at times and that's simply the reality of it. If only we lived in a perfect world...

I've been reading a book called Sacred Marriage that has educated me further on marriage and what it will be like. I guess it makes me sad and scared that it's going to be tough, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to experience it and stay with Gary for the rest of my life. I believe that when I am put in challenging situations, that is when I grow the most.

Time to wake up

It's been such a long time since I've posted on here. I'm not sure why. It's something that I love. I love writing about how I am growing and learning new things. It's something that I shouldn't stop. It's apart of my whole reflective process in figuring out how I can really grow in my relationship with God and figure out who it is that I am becoming or maybe even what I want to become.

So, hopefully, this will be a new commitment to writing and reflecting and growing--regardless of if I am the only one reading this or not. I cannot stay complacent...it's time for me to get up and do something about it.
