So it's true. Her name is Julia and if you are blind, which means that someone else is reading you this because I don't know how to type in braille, she is absolutely beautiful! We met more or less through church, but our families are all friends. So here is a little background info. I have been praying for/wanting a very specific type of girl for a really long time and have wasted many hours and lots of money on girls who promised things that they would never deliver. I have almost always wanted a very dedicated and loving girl. I don't much like dating casually (and keeping it at that level) because to me it is denying the relationship so much potential for love and commitment. A lot of girls have told me that they want a relationship, but as soon as they realize that a relationship means a serious commitment, sacrifice and vulnerability, they tend to run the other way. I think this probably has a lot to do with just being immature. So because I have wanted a relationship, and not just a relationship but something that meant a lot and something that I could really commit to and receive from just as much as I gave to, I was feeling like it was never going to happen because I wasn't having any luck. So after praying and searching I unexpectedly ended up talking to Julia every night for a little over a week until we decided to start hanging out. She wants exactly the same thing that I want in a relationship and is way more than I ever expected, especially at this early stage of our relationship. I think when you find someone who is perfect for you, you realize it right away. I've never met a girl who I could just talk to for hours without really knowing anything about her. We have probably spent more time talking than anything and I love it. Above all things however, she loves the Lord and loves that I love the Lord. I really can't think of a more perfect rock to build a relationship upon. It's been really cool how the Lord has worked stuff out as well, she wants to move in the exact same direction as I do as far as a career and a family, she loves dance and music and I love art and music, she lives in Marietta and I just so happen to be moving back to Marietta for a summer and at least a semester... things have come together perfectly. So as it is I couldn't be happier. I guess it goes to show that persistence reaps great benefits. Life is good...
