Wink Feeling like a stick in the mud

Alright, I give in... Hi, I'm Jamie aka doodlebug. I'm 24 and I live in S.C. (not by choice but by some wonderful and blessed act of God). Shortly after moving to S.C. from MA. with my family in 1998, Wesley and I meet and fell madly in love. Well, I guess not entirely like that but shortly after giving into this cute guy who would tease me daily about my accent (HUMPH, I still say I'm not the one with an accent ) we fell in love and were attached at the hip. Wesley become my best friend since all of my girl friends were 2000 miles away enjoying their senior year of high school without me. Yah, did I not mention that I had to start my senior year in redneck-hicks-ville. By the way, sorry to all of you southern girls, I mean no offense. I have come to love this redneck-hicks-ville

All is great in my world after Wesley and I met. He has really been a blessing to me and has giving me more strenght and comfort than I could imagine. One of the greatest ways he has helped me was by leading me to know Christ. We started going to church together and I was amazed at how wonderful of a guy he is. He has such high standard for himself and I would wonder how I was allowed to have him in my life. Than I realized through him that it was all part of God's plan. It still amazes me to think of all of the loser men I have dated while God always knew that I would eventually meet this wonderful man. A man that would make me a better person and a man that would be made better by being loved by me.

While God's plan for Wesley and my future has been clear for awhile now, His plan for my family surely wasn't anticipated. I lost my mother to cancer nearly 2 years ago. I won't talk much about it because I'm the type who would rather push it under a rug but I'm getting better. I lean on Wesley and the Lord for strength and I try not to let my emotions build up.

Anyway, that's enough of me. I just had to brag on Wesley tonight. He's so wonderful to me. He spoils me to no end even though he knows that I'd truely live in a cardboard box with him as long as we were together. I promise I will post pics as soon as I get some. I don't have a digital camera but we will be having our engagement shots taken sometime after Christmas and I'll get some of them on a CD.

Brag away! I think it's great to hear ( well, read) all these wonderful stories and comments about the future and current husbands of the ladies on this site.

I had a lot of losers cross my path too and meeting a good, kind. loving man is indeed a blessing. I think because of these jerks, I love my Christopher even more! Need the bad to appreciate the good- that sort of thing. And I have no regrets because each jerk or hurt led me on my life's path to the love of my life.

Congrats and best wishes!
