Finally Going To Be Together :)

So... I know it has been forever since there has been a post. I put up my first one and then my life was just boring with school or work everyday and missing Paul like crazy every second.  However, I have had 3 great bridal showers, awesome going away dinners, friends coming over to pack and send me off, and tearful goodbyes to my dear family...  Now I'm ready and FINALLY in 9 hours :) My flight leaves to Ghana and I can't even stand the excitement!!! I haven't slept all week and I know tonight is going to be the same because I feel like I'm dreaming! After 6 LONG months of waiting and feeling like I'm missing half of my heart, I will finally get to be with my love again! (haha after my 16 hour flight) HALLELUJAH!!

Our Story...

When I volunteered in Ghana August 2009, I got convinced my third weekend there to go to a beach called Kokrobite because my friends had met a guy named Jojo in town. When we met up with them at the beach, there was Paul. We shook hands and it was if I already knew him. We talked all day on the beach, danced to Reggae that night, and for the remainder of my three months, we were as inseparable as possible. I had a boyfriend so we were really just best friends. When I came home from Ghana, he called me every single day. I broke up with my boyfriend, miraculously got the money to get back to Ghana and went back six months after I had returned to the states. Paul picked me up from the airport, and everything just fell into place. I knew that I loved him but after a month of my second trip, I realized that I couldn't live without him. He took the missionary discussions and was able to gain a testimony of the church and be baptized July 3, 2010. We then went back to the beach that we met at and got engaged July 8, 2010. I left back to America two days later to wait for him to get his visa to come here. Paul getting his passport has taken longer than we planned, so I am now going there in January, for us to begin our lives together February 5, 2011 :)
