My Betrothed

It is now officially Josh's birthday.  After 26 years of life and about eight and a half of those years together, I wanted to make a blog entry dedicated to him.  Let me start off by saying he is amazing.  Each day my mind is blown by how lucky I am to live with and be engaged to my best friend, lover, and all around most wonderful person I've ever met.  Some people will go through life and never find "the one," they may even end up settling on someone they get along with alright.  I happen to have found the one and only.  I found someone who loves me no matter how badly I randomly dance and sing (which happens often).  I found someone who loves my weird obsession with Tim Burton and took a trip to New York specifically to meet him and see his art show with me.  I found someone who listens to me babble on about the silliest of things (and sometimes complain about work and school).  I found someone who loves me whether I'm at my best or worst (and when I'm at my worst, picks me back up again).  And, most importantly, he's willing to spend the rest of his life with me (a pretty courageous adventure, indeed).  I am so lucky to have met him so early in my life and now I can barely make it through a day without him.  It's almost as if we have our own world, just the two of us, that no one else can touch.  We have a connection that seems so much closer and more unique than anyone else I've met.  He has helped shape me into the person I am today and I love him with all of my heart.

Now, a little bit about Josh.  He is also the smartest person I know.  Sometimes I think his brain has an endless capacity for knowledge.  He is hilarious and can always make me smile (and occasionally laugh hysterically).  He is also extremely talented.  From beating Ninja Gaiden on the NES to drawing post-it note art pieces, he never ceases to amaze me.  He is also a great painter of miniatures and, for his birthday (and because I said I would do it, but haven't yet), I took some photos of his work.

Happy Birthday, Joshua!  I love you so, so much (and if you think it's too much information, worry not, I only have four followers).
