Fall Completely in LOVE

He seemed a bit…intellectual, quiet, sensitive, strange, at first.

But he played the piano amazingly well. He was handsome. He was active in the church and held a temple recommend.

He was interested in all the things I was…genealogy, home food production and storage, children…I’m not sure what else.

He had a good job, a PhD, a Dutch accent and he fell head over heels in love with me.

He looked at me with goo-goo eyes. How could he be in love with me? I wondered.

But by the next day, I was in love with him, too. We were married 5 weeks later in the Washington temple for time and all eternity.

I’ve been blissfully happy with him for 19 years. He’s a dream come true. He has no faults…except maybe…naw, not really.

His greatest desire is to be married to me for eternity…millions and billions of years. He’s nuts! But it sure sounds good to me. He puts up with all sorts of stuff from me.

Well, my boyfriend had been in Iraq for about a year and I guess I started to forget how I felt about him and us. It’s easier to let yourself forget than to remember when someone you love is gone for so long. Hurts a lot less too. Anyway, he finally came back into the US and I finally got to see him again and you know what? I AM completely in love. I guess I had just pushed it out of my mind. In the end it was worth the wait.

Desparately hoping that the possibility exists. Not only to fall completely in love but for someone to fall completely in love with me as well. I guess I’ll just keep my fingers crossed. Only one question… how do you even know when this has happened? Or if it’s right???
