It is funny how the Lord always seems to bless us with things according to His time line, not our own. Usually when I least think I'm ready for something is when it comes right to me. Just shortly ago I was pretty sure I didn't want to date anyone. I think I had become frustrated with the female gender and just decided to accept that I would never meet anyone who thought like I did. And if I never met someone that thought as I, how on earth was I supposed to find someone that was going to make decisions with them over an eternity?
All summer I had been trying hard to meet new people. I've been trying to be my best. I've been trying to live my life the best I can, down to every last detail. After some group activities, I got to know a girl by the name of Alexandria Dean Ginos. At first we talked a little bit every here and there. I remember while I was in California I got her phone number and gave her a call. I actually think she was the only person in Provo I called during my entire trip to California. At first I found that it was so easy to talk to her. We seemed to think in the same ways. It almost felt as though the gears in our heads were both turning the same ways. Now, when I thought or said that, it was definitely an understatement. One of the things that I now love most about Alex is that I understand her character, and really feel that she understands mine. Alex is sweet. She is committed. She's thoughtful. She will drop everything she is doing to help me out if she needs to (and she has). She isn't overly materialistic. She is forgiving and she knows how to compromise. She is so cheerful, and seeing her smile makes me smile from ear to ear. She loves to serve others. She is smart. She is creative in everything she does. She is simply a unique person, and she is motivated by what she wants to do, not necessarily by what other people think (she might deny that statement, but I'm fairly sure its true). We make an amazing team. She is flexible and I am flexible. We can make decisions easily. Even my roommates and family like her. I love playing games with her and my little cousin Amy. I love hanging out with Alex and Alicia. We do have fun together, even if we do make Alicia want to spew sometimes.
Truly, I absolutely know that my life is easier and happier because of Alex. She completes me.
Oh, and I got accepted into the Information Systems program. In case anyone wanted to know ;).

Ahhh, to be young and in love! Actually, Brian and I(Mackenzie) are celebrating our 5 year anniversary tomorrow and we are still very much in love and life is great (well, except for getting up in the middle of the night with a 2 week old baby, but that will end). I think the last picture you posted (B & W) is adorable, but the first one is definitely true to character (at least Alex's). We can't wait to meet you! Oh, and we won't make you stay in the backyard...you never know when it's going to rain in Colorado!
Mom said the same thing, that the first picture was more reflective of our personalities. But the second is beautiful. :)
(I can't wait for you to meet him, Kenzie! He is so wonderful!)
