My wise girlfriend, Courtney once told me that the fighting stage of a relationship can change if the couple is willing to evolve and change. I think Joshua and I are entering that evolution because it’s been over 4 days and we have not fought once! I can attribute that to two things: 1) a powerful experience I had with Joshua this past weekend. For the first time, I was able to see him whole and complete as God intended him to be. He has always radiated a beautiful light that I have always been attracted to but in this moment it was like the mask was dropped and I was able to see him more clearly than ever before, and what I saw was exquisitely beautiful. He glistened, and emanated a light I had never seen before. It was an experience I will never forget and one that has brought me closer to him than ever before. I truly feel that I am his life partner on this planet and beyond. Actually, I felt that way about him the day I met him although I wasn’t exactly sure what I was feeling at the time. I have come full circle, now everything makes sense. The beautiful thing about this is that my feelings are reciprocated. Joshua told me he feels the same way about me. How did I get so lucky?! At last I have found my true love, without a shadow of a doubt. I feel so happy to be with Joshua.
We have a new dog, Pierre. I haven’t met him yet but I will after work today. Apparently he’s wonderful: house broken, loves cats and children and is ready to be adopted. I hope he goes to a loving family. I am looking forward to meeting him. Our dogs and those we foster is the 2nd thing I can attribute to such a long stretch of peace between Joshua and myself. It causes us to work together towards a common goal outside of ourselves and that is so fulfilling. Love and teamwork, that’s the answer to creating peace in our lives and in our world. Together we can do anything.

A Journey Through A Year In The Life of My Engagement
There are days that I wondered if there was something wrong with me because I found myself fighting with my fiancé over the simplest to deepest of issues almost on a daily basis. When I inquired about how my other girlfriends had weathered their engagement I got some consolation in realizing that the fighting is a normal process and that over time it will subside if both partners are willing to evolve and change as time goes by. This is a blog dedicated to the ups and downs of being engaged and how it can all seem so serious when you are in the thick of it but once removed, even for just a minute, from the fighting it all seems so funny especially when you focus on what is truly important to the two of you; and that is that you have found one another and have decided to make one of the most amazing commitments to each other, and that is a miracle.
