Me & B pt. 1 - Getting PERSONAL
Hi guys!!! I'm excited to go a little more in depth & be more vulnerable with you all. I get a lot of questions regarding me & B's relationship. Whether that be how we managed long distance, how we "knew" that we were meant for each other, or how we made our relationship last through the thick & thin!
All these questions might not be answered in this post (since I tend to ramble on & on lol). & I know I don't do a lot of talking posts (which is ironic since I have a blog lol). But I figured I could start doing some regarding our relationship (Since that's a hot topic lately with this RING ON MY FINGER AH! :)
So specifically in this post I want to talk about how we made our relationship last. With long distance, our VERY STRONG personalities & all that other tough stuff that comes along with relationships.
EEEK! As many of you know me & B met at City church & this was one of our first little dates!!! Off to the Farmers Market & Mariners Game. So cute I just needed to add this. It's honestly so crazy looking back just a year ago of where we were at & how far we've come. So with that being said...
Why I admire the way he pursued me & why it's been different than other guys
From the moment me & B met he has had nothing but respect for me. I didn't even know guys like this existed!!!! He asked me out to lunch for our first date & before I knew it 3 dates later he was super upfront with his intentions & told me he wanted to pursue me (& EVEN when he knew I was moving to Portland... WHAT A STUD).
Brandon told me he didn't want to kiss me until he knew he loved me (HARD.. BUT MAD RESPECT). & 3 months later he told me he loved me on Alki Beach, we kissed & that's when he said he knew he was going to marry me!! Literally getting butterflies talking about this hahaha.
Now I know what you're thinking... Yes, most guys are not like Brandon. I have delt with a handful of guys that were not worth my time or tears. But, Brandon the Godly man he was, was committed to loving me in a way that I hadn't experienced before. A Christ centered kind of love.
Why I believe our relationship really stood strong during hard times
If you don't know me & Brandon we are both VERY strong people LOL. & putting 2 strong people can make for a very passionate love, but a lot of "clashing" times as well. But me & Brandon have learned over the course of our relationship what SELFLESS love really looks like.
I have never really been in a serious relationship, because frankly none of them were worth my time HAHA. & neither was Brandon (YAY). But all that to say, we had NO IDEA what we were doing when we first started dating. We knew we liked each other but that was about it hahaha. & with being long distance, Brandon graduating, starting work & trying to get in to law school... we definitely had some messy times!! Lot's of freak outs as we like to put it!!! lol.
