Things I'm thankful for

There are many things that I am thankful in my life.  My family, my God, my health, and many others.  But this post is going to be dedicated to the most recent thing I have become thankful for:  Kelly Marie Kuker.  In order for you to understand just how thankful I am for her to be my girlfriend, allow me to give you some back story.

I've been single for most of my life.  I had a brief relationship in high school and a one month-long relationship when I was 26.  that was it!  Like many guys, I thought that I was just unlovable.  The truth was, God was saving me for the right person!  My previous relationship was ended for the reason of "God doesn't want us together."  How true that statement was.  God wanted me to be with Kelly Kuker!  Let me tell you how wonderful she is!  

Kelly and I met on eharmony.  This was my 2nd attempt at eharmony.  The first attempt was fruitless and I didn't have much hope for the 2nd attempt.  But then out of no where, a girl messaged me and complimented my smile.  I like to tell people that she "popped" when I first saw her.  All the other girls I was talking with on eharmony did not excite me, but this one did.  There are 4 steps to eharmony communication and we flew through all them in one day.  

We went on our first date and I knew by the end of it that she was right for me.  So why do I like love Kelly Kuker?  She said it in her post:  She's my perfect compliment.  It's not that she's perfect, she's just perfect for me.  She is everything that I want in a woman, and then some.  Not only is she absolutely beautiful, she is smart.  I love that I don't have to talk down to her.  Many times, she has to remind me that she already knows what I'm attempting to tell her.  This doesn't upset me, it reminds that she is a smart, capable woman who is every inch my equal.  

One of my favorite things about her is how she understands me.  She always knows when I'm upset and can tell when I have something on my mind.  She gets me.  When I'm around her, I feel completely at ease.  I know I could talk to her about anything and that she would understand me.  It's a great feeling and I love it!  I love her!  

I may not be as eloquent as she is in expressing my affection, but she is the person that God has picked out for me.   I have no hesitation when I say that.  God hand picked her for me, and me for her.  So today, on this almost-last-day of November, I am thankful for her.  She has made the long years of being alone worth it.
