Worth the Wait

When we said our last goodbye, I had no idea where my life was going. I didn't know where I would be or where life would take me during those two years. I went back up to my dorm room and lied on my bed and stared at the ceiling for about an hour. I thought about all the good memories we had and how much we had grown together. And for some reason, I thought that was all they were. Memories.

I never thought that this day would come. It seemed too far in the future. There was a time when I thought that our relationship was just something of the past. Something to learn from. Something to smile about. Then about a year ago, I realized that what we had was something special. It was something worth waiting for.

And let me tell you, it was worth the wait.

It's been almost three months since his return from Peru. The best three months of my life. Zack is the most genuine, charitable, and caring person I know. He knows me better than anyone. He knows my strengths and my weaknesses. He knows about my flaws and loves me anyway. He is a man God. He has such a strong testimony of the Savior and of the reality of the restored Gospel. Never have I seen him put himself first. He treats me with the respect I deserve and loves me for who I am. He serves those around him with no thought of reward. He never passes up an opportunity to say "I love you."

What did I do to deserve that?

Heavenly Father knew what He was doing when He put Zack in my life.

My fairytale didn't go exactly the way the storybooks said it would, but that's what makes it mine.

Then and now :) Isn't he the cutest?
