My life was full of tumultuous ups and downs in 2008. I can’t honestly say that it wasn't partially (or even mostly) my fault, but it's definitely been an eventful year. From being an unemployed college graduate, to getting out of a serious relationship / having my heart broken, to moving out of the city where I've lived the last 4 years, to the economy being in a downward spiral and worrying about the future of our nation, it hasn't been the smoothest transition into adulthood.
But in the last couple months, something has happened that's put everything in perspective and made all my trials worth it. Just when I thought I would never be able to love again (and I do mean that – it’s not just for dramatic emphasis), along came the one person who could make me feel happy again. She takes care of me, adores me, and just wants to make me happy. She loves me more than I ever thought any girl could, and she makes me feel like a million bucks.
Okay – just a little bit about her… Her name is Kristen, she's from Orem, is an artist (studying studio art at BYU), works as an assistant manager at Coney’s (frozen custard), and is 5’7” with wavy, dark-brown hair and a gorgeous smile. :) I absolutely adore her.

Sometimes it seems surreal, that she shouldn't love me so much, but she does. And it makes me smile. In fact, from our first date (and especially since our first kiss), neither one of us can get the huge smiles off of our faces. :D
We have a lot of similar likes/dislikes. We both love Homestar Runner and Star Wars, hate onions, and want to live either near the mountains or the ocean (in other words, we refuse to live in the so-called “Great” Plains area of the United States). :) But she's so easy to talk to, and I love being around her.
Now, I’m not making any prophecies about our relationship or where it’s going to go. But regardless of what happens between us, I am extremely grateful that she came into my life, and at just the time she did.We have a lot of similar likes/dislikes.
