Her

So it turns out, that if you ever have a chance to follow your heart and take your brain out of the equation, you should probably do it.  Tabatha and I have been together for a little over a year now, but we have pretty much spent our entire free time together thru all of it.  Marrying her on the 25^th of August will probably go down in my life history as the single, greatest thing I have ever accomplished.  I have always flirted with the thought of someday calling myself a married man, a family man even.  But to have someone to share my life with like Tabatha, with all of the love that we share and the bond that we have, is unthinkable, undreamable even.  The world that I live in now seems like a fairytale, with unrealistic like days in which one can only think, "Is this really happening to me?"  Even my laughter is different.  I laugh like I have never laughed before.  It comes from deep inside my chest, almost from the bottom of my soul.  And it comes with good reason, because for years, I haven't had anything to laugh about.  She's the light at the end of my tunnel.  Bad times will still come upon us, but without the painful sting of having to face this world alone.  She doesn't remove the bad things from my life, but rather dulls the sharp edge by holding my hand thru it. 

Calling her my wife instead of my fiancé feels different, and sometimes weird.  It's not her at all, it's just the pure thought of being a full blown grown up now, and having the responsibility of being labeled as someone's husband.   This is mom and dad stuff!  But with those same feels also comes the ones of it feeling right, good, and secure.  I would constantly ask my mother, "How do you know when you find her," only to hear the same reply time and time again, "When you find her, you'll know."  "What do you mean, you'll know," would always be the same follow up question.  "You'll just know."  I knew on my second date with Tabatha that the night before was probably my last "1^st date".  You just know.  Your soul is finally at ease, you're the most comfortable you've ever been in your life, your finally complete because you've found your other half, you just know.  It is something that cannot be rushed, cannot be forced, and cannot be made.  It's just there, untouched, waiting on you to stumble upon it.  Love.  Four little letter that make a word that has a meaning that is bigger than anything you and I have ever known.

You know your in love....
Current mood: happy

...when the sight of the clock by your bed only has 15 more mins to go before the alarm goes off, and your stomach turns into a big knot because you don't ever want to let her go. 

...when you can tell one single person in this big blue world EVERYTHING, and that be okay, and she does the same.

...when the sight of that one person makes your heart flutter, skip a beat, rev up, rev down, and require CPR!

...when you go to talk or comment on something or someone stupid, and you both start talking at the same exact time and say the same exact thing!! (true story)

...when you can act like a big, huge kid, laugh, joke, and just be a kid for a little while, and that's okay, and she does it too!   (that includes 'rasslin')

...when all that you can think about all day is one person, and when your finally with that one person, you think about nothing.

...when you have tons of fun when your out and about in a place you've never been before or out in the town, or just sitting on the couch watching the 10 o'clock news, it all feels the same!!

...when you tell someone about everything you feel on this page, and they say "i feel it too."

...when all your hopes, dreams, and goals in life involve that one person, and without them you are nothing. 

...when that one person can lift you up when you are down, make you smile when you otherwise could not, make you feel like you have some type of purpose in this big, blue world.  It just isn't all for nothing anymore!

...when you laugh together, smile together, cry together, say nothing for hours and just be with one another together, make dumb jokes together, eat together, sleep together, and it's all okay, and you want to do it again, and again, and again, and again, and that's okay, and you never get tired of them or wish that they would just go away for a little while!!! LOL 

...when your trying to do the laundry, and the smell of someones shirt can just about make you cry because you miss them so much!! 

...when you stop and think for a moment, and it all starts to sink in, that you have got the ABSOLUTE BEST friend, partner, fiance (soon to be wife), woman, girl, significant other in your life that you could ever ask for, and she is so very beautiful, smart, funny, sexy , attractive, and you don't know HOW IN THE HELL you got to be so lucky! 

...when all that up there happens when you least expect it.

...when you know for a fact that you love her more today than you did yesterday, but not as much as you will tomorrow.

...when the sight of her and those big, brown eyes giving me "the look " when I accidentally leave the toliet seat up, still gives you butterflies in your stomach just like it did on that very first date, even though we've spent this much time with one another!! 

...when you can both hug each other in a bear like form, and take a deep breath, because you both know that your finally home.

It goes without saying that I love this woman.  She's my everything, my future, and a little of my past since we've known each other since K-5.  I can't wait to share my life with her come August 25th 2007!  I finally found my other half, my best friend.  The only thing that I regret is that we didn't find each other sooner. 

I love you Tabatha Marie, my sweetheart!

So, it turns out that my little brother just graduated from high school.  I didn't really get to hear if he was excited or not, because I had to go to bed at 7:30 pm because of a killer headache I had.  Which explains why I am now blogging at 3:15 am!  lol  Anyways, if he had to carry away anything from that graduation, any words of particular wisdom, I would hope that he could grab these few words.  Not from all the speakers, the principal, or even the students and his close friends, but from his dear old brother:

"Bran, at some point in your life, the world will kick you in the crotch.  And when that happens, just remember, it's not how you fall to the ground, it's how you pick yourself back up!"

"And I just hope that when that day happens, I'm not around to see it, because I will probably laugh in your face, before I help you up!"

Love you Bran, Congrats!

Ya'll take it easy, thanks for reading!
