How many times have I dreamed of this moment? How many times have I prayed for this to happen? God brought Joel back into my life in such a strange way (at our niece's funeral)...a place you wouldn't normally "find" someone you will love for the rest of your life. But He did. What clinched it for me was the email I received from Joel after our first date...he said he had a wonderful time and thanked me for sharing it with him. How could I not respond to that?
He's also a man of his word. I don't think he knows how to lie. I've learned if I don't want to know the answer to something, don't ask. ("Does this make my butt look big?" for instance.) Joel will tell you exactly what he thinks. This is good, though. I feel a security with him because I know he doesn't take love lightly and wouldn't say it if he didn't mean it.
We have never fought. We come to agreements over disagreements and we talk things out if there's an issue. We are alike in so many ways, too. We both enjoy quiet evenings at home...we both love the lake and being out there on the boat...we both are night owls and sleep in in the morning...there are many times we think of the very same thing, even the most obscure things. I truly love this man and I know he loves me. This is why we work together so well.
I can't wait!
