New love

I RAHEELLY (really) need to update this thing, with like a legitimate post. So today is officially Valentine's day and I finally have a Valentine. Not only do I have a Valentine, I have a boyfriend. An amazing boyfriend. His name is Derek, and I met him at church in Flagstaff, and he is a firefighter....need I say more? But that's only the beginning of it. Derek is so sweet and sensitive to me, but at the same time, he makes me laugh like no other. He also loves Jesus with all his heart, and I am so thankful for His strong and close relationship with God. We have so much in common and he really just gets me. I love that. We've only been together for little more than a week and yet, we are so close. I feel like we've been dating for forever, we both feel that way.
To sum it up...I love him, wholly and completely, without reservation...I am his.

I never have felt so strongly for a person before, or so quickly. He's is unique and special beyond a doubt. I can't wait to see what God has planned for us and our lives together. I continually pray that God will bless our relationship and that our relationship will be honoring and pleasing to God and He will use our relationship for His glory.

I have to tell the story of how Derek and I got together.
The first time we met, I totally shot him down, without even realizing it. He came up to talk to me one day at a youth service ( I volunteer as a leader there) and I totally said " I think they want us talking with the students." BURN. I didn't mean to or know that I was like...being so mean. Then in December a guy randomly adds me on facebook and I notice that we have like 20 friends in common, all from church, so I think "maybe I met him and I don't remember, I would feel really bad if I didn't add him and we had met! Plus, he's pretty cute...it can't hurt?" SO I add him and then message him asking " Hey have we met before?" And he answers with "Well we haven't officially met, but I've seen you around." And so for the next few days we kinda message back and forth. Then the correspondance stopped while I was in Phoenix for Christmas. Then when I came back home we started talking through facebook again and we just a lot of similarities and we really got along and we finally met at church "officially". Then, I boldly gave him my number and he boldly texted me, from there we texted, talked for HOURS on the phone and hung out...then we realized we didn't want to date anybody else, the rest is history.
Great story right?
