The Beginning Of Forever

Tomorrow. Actually, less than twelve hours. It marks the beginning of the rest of time. It marks the collision of God’s handiwork, colliding, and starting life together. It marks one of the biggest moments in my life. I’m finally meeting my wife to be.

You see, it all began here. HERE. Right here. On Tumblr. As I sift through the interweb of pictures and profiles, I innocently stumbled upon a hidden gem. This girl. This woman. Words do hardly any justice to her inner and outer beauty. And I can assure you, it’s true love. Twinlike powers fuse in all our passions of life. What started out as curious pure friendship quickly became HOLY CRAP, GOD. YOU MADE THIS PERSON FOR ME! YOU MADE THIS PERSON INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!

We have been able to bond and share over 500 hours of conversation; be it Skype, IM, email, phone, or text. Sure, people say you don’t really know someone until you meet them in real life. I get all the speculation from everyone. As well as some support and confidence from my closest friends and family. It sounds sketchy, I know.

But can I share something with you? Honestly. Flat out. I have never been more sure, confident, excited, and ready to spend the rest of my life with anyone on any level. I look over at the empty space in my bed and think: there should be someone there. Every night. Every morning. Every day. And Maranda is that woman.

While both of us are trapped in our 17 year old bodies, we wait for God’s timing. We wait for the signs spiritually and financially to get married. And that’s a huge step. But it’s a step we’re willing to take.

The first tangible step begins tomorrow. We’re meeting for lunch. Plans change, I don’t know the details. But God does. We’re along for the ride of our lives. And I’m so priveleged it gets to be with her, forever.

Follow us. Ask away. And if you wish, join us in the beginning of whatever God has left to give us.
