Are you engaged yet?

As I stated in the beginning, many of my posts will be about healthy eating and working out. But the occasional life post will happen. This one is about (love). The word we all think about, strive for, fall into, dream of and always wish we had more of. Everyone wants to be loved. We all have a first love, some earlier in life and some later. Whether it's the love of a partner or unconditional love of a mother and father. We are all loved by someone. (even if on some days it only feels like it's our dog or cat)

My post is mainly about finding the one. How do you know if it's Mr/Mrs right? Is there any sure way of knowing? Does anyone really have a soul mate? Everyone has their own ideas and opinions.

The question that keeps coming up between The Gent and I is, are y'all engaged yet? (seriously everyone has asked us) Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered people think we are as meant for each other as we think we are. But this week will be 8 months of dating. For me that is too early. People get engaged earlier than that and much later as well, but for me it's just too early in our relationship. Maybe after a year or so, but I still feel like I'm getting to know him. I want time to experience life with him. :)

When did y'all get engaged? Do you feel like you have a set amount of time you want to date before you do get engaged? Or am I just an OCD weirdo? Haha.

There are always things that lets you know someone is different than the rest, that someone might just be your soul mate, Mr. Right...the one? (gasp) For me these are just some of those things:
- he deals with my crazy
- he calms me when I'm upset
- he gets my weird sense of humor
- he dances with me in the kitchen
- he loves my family as much as he loves me
- he takes my OOTD pictures and just smiles when I ask
- he respects me and my decisions
- he loves me on good days and bad
- he kisses my forehead
- he is dreamer with a great sense of reality
- he prays with me and for me

most of all, he loves me...all of me.
