defintions:

It's 2 am and I find myself looking up definitions of words to try to explain what I feel...if you know Sarah Bla then you may know she LOVES definitions, but tonight I'm having a hard time coming up with a word that would accurately capture how I feel

blessed: blissfully happy or contented.

and then there are the synonyms of blessed: blissful, content, contented, favored, fortunate, glad, granted, joyful, joyous, lucky...still not fully what I feel, maybe all that I am feeling cannot be contained in one word or even several words...I just know I feel it, and its strong

I find myself lost in thought most of the time lately: completely in AWE of how God has been faithful, of how I feel I'm somewhat in a dream, of how different my life looked a year ago, even 6 months ago, of how I feel in so many ways my life is just beginning.

I find myself teary-eyed when I think of the outcome of that ONE day, that ONE encounter, that ONE introduction.....a boy who grew up in Nicaragua, a girl from Wisconsin...somehow meeting in MN. I never thought the story could happen to me and I certainly never thought I could feel all that I do for him, I never imagined something could grow so strong, so quickly. When I prayed months ago wanting so bad for a new ‘season’….something to come into my life, I didn’t realize that ‘something’ would be ‘someone’.

It's like a puzzle piece that just fits! I feel pieces of me that I haven't seen in a long time come out, he makes me more myself. A best friend to laugh with, talk with, pray with, enjoy life with. Gracias Dios para este hombre en mi vida!

Alvaro, you have spun my world upside down. I still can't stop smiling when I think about you. EVERY time I wait to see you I get butterflies and EVERY time I have to say goodbye I feel I loose a part of me. Im blessed, I'm excited, I'm so lucky, I'm hopeful, I'm completely falling for you. The more I discover about you, the more I realize how deep I feel. Alvaro, te amo
