David Lee <3
Since coming to Maine I've started to learn so much more about David then I had before. I now know that when he was a teenager he decided to dye his hair orange, and promptly go to the hair salon afterwards to fix it. I now know that him and his little brother used to take an unregistered four wheeler rom their house to the pizza place and back as fast as they could hoping they wouldn't get caught. I've seen when he went to school and eaten at some of his favorite places. His accent he tried to hide from me in California has come back and I've fallen in love with it. I've learned some secrets too that are mine to hold and I won't tell anyone for the world. I've met his family, played with his precious little sister, laughed with his aunts and mother, and collected chicken eggs with him.
I think in the end, What I'm trying to say is I know more about David now then I had before. And some of his fears about what might scare me away have been nulled, because I love him probably more deeply now (if that's even possible).
Though It's hard not having our time alone together as much as we could in our apartment back home, we try and find the time. I like seeing him smile at his sister, and wake up rested and not worried about anything. He looks so relaxed and happy, that it makes me feel warm.
I will admit it has not been easy here. I've cried from the pure culture shock, wanted to go home... and when it seems like I'm getting used to the situation my home sickness just gets worse. Though I know if I was at home right now, I wouldn't be able to be next to david every morning and night, and wouldn't be able to feel his touch or hear his heartbeat. He is what makes me feel stronger here, and it gives me hope that things will be ok in the end. So really, as long as we're together I know we'll be fine.
We will probably begin seriously planning the wedding when this trip is over, I got to talk to my family and see how much they are willing to contribute so I can estimate a budget for it all.
As for Maine, I have a lot of mixed feelings right now, I will update again soon though about that topic. Today, I just felt like writing about David... :)
Update again soon!
