A New Life

I know I haven't been blogging, and for that I apologize. The truth is, I have been so happy, it is hard for me to sit still long enough to describe it. This Saturday is our six month anniversary, but it might as well be six years. I don't need an anniversary to remember how lucky I am and how amazingly in love I am. I value this anniversary, because it is unbelievable how much has happened in 6 short months.

My life was instantly changed the second I met Drew. Honestly, it was changed the first night we IM'd for hours. I swear, I knew from that night on he was the one. Being so young, it took me a while to accept it. I didn't know what to do with my emotions. I truely believe I met Drew as a reward for surviving bad times. He is the biggest gift God has ever given me, and really, this is the first time in my life I have thanked God for something. He gave me the strength to fight, the support to get the help I needed, and the belief in me that some day soon...I would be ok.

My life has made an absolute transformation in the last six months. I feel good. Physically, mentally, emotionally. I have never in my life felt good. I am proud of my body. I eat whatever I want. I have accepted my family for what they are. I stand tall in school, something that, if you know me, is not easy. I am independent. I can take time to enjoy myself. Because of Drew, I have been able to become a better person. For the first time I am not afraid of the future, because no matter how bad things get, I have the one I love at my side. Amazing when you find the right person, nothing else really matters.

So now I look to the future. If six months went by so quickly, I can only imagine how happy our future to be. In a few months we will be living together(GOD?). In less than a year, I might just have my degree. Things that I thought would never happen, are right around the corner. We are starting a completely new chapter of our lives, and for the first time ever, I am not scared. Drew has given me the confidence to know I can take on anything that comes. And as a couple, we truely have. I look forward to the many six month anniversaries we have in our future. I love you hun!
