A year and a half ago I met a boy that would change my life and I had no idea at the time. My thoughts when I met him my thoughts were that of your average teenage girl. He was tall and built with light brown hair and a terribly contagious smile. He intrigued me, that's for sure! This complete stranger greeted me with a giant bear hug and that's when I realized he was someone I wanted to get to know better, and so I did. We went on our first date a week later and we dated from that point on. In June of 2012 he received his mission call and he left the beginning of October. He's been out for 11 months and I couldn't be more proud. It's been an adventure dating this stud and it hasn't always been easy but I know it will be worth it in the end, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me. :)
Now I can brag about Rikely to you all. From the very beginning, he has always proved to be an incredible guy. He never failed to make me feel special and always treated my like a Daughter of God. He is so much fun! He really is like a child inside a 20 year old body. We were always doing something adventurous or random and they were things that any average person would be embarrassed by but with him it just felt normal. He's amazing. That's enough I don't want to overload you too much. He's the guy in my life and I love him dearly and if he ends up being the one that I get to spend my eternity with (which will be cool with me), I will be happy forever. For now I wait and write and grow while he serves and teaches and grows and before we know it he will be home and life will be good! Waiting isn't a bad thing and it's not a stupid thing either. It shows sacrifice and dedication and the worst thing that can come from it is you learning sacrifice and patience which are traits that will help for eternity.
Until next time,
