Valentines Day, 2010 was the day that Gus and I had our first date. One year ago! It is crazy to think how time has past. I love him sooo much! He is the love of my life. I had started to think that I was never going to find a guy who had all the qualities that I wanted. Gus is the first guy that I dated that I really loved and felt like this could work. My past relationships were good- they were all good guys, but just not the right one for me. After our first date I was a little worried about how things would work out between Gus and I since my last relationships only lasted a month each- I didn't want to get hurt again. I was very afraid of getting hurt, our hurting someone. I wanted to make sure that things went slowly... well, that didn't last too long! I fell deeply in love with Gus and always wanted to be with him. So, our first date was on Sunday and we decided that that Friday we would go to the temple together. It was such a neat experience. I really felt like Gus could be the one I would marry. After just a few days we decided that we wanted to officially begin dating. It was so cute. Gus and I were at his apartment watching a movie and he turned to me and asks "What does an American guy say if he wants to ask someone to be his girlfriend?" I laughed and said "ask" haha. Gus was like "oh, ok." and then we continued watching the movie (no, I don't remember the movie... haha it could have been Avatar though since it seemed like we watched that a lot at his place- it was always on!) After a few min he turned to me and asks if I would like to be his girlfriend. I, of course, said yes!! Ok, so I was just looking back through my journal and on Wednesday, the 17th of February, 2010 it says "I've seen Gustavo every day and we're going to get married - wow, did I really just say that?" and it came true! He is the love of my life! That is also the day I met his family and I loved them right off. They were so sweet and kind. I truly have an amazing husband who is so good to me and loves me with all his heart! He would do anything for me and takes such good care of me- especially when I am depressed. I always thought that no one would want me because of my depression, that I would be such a bother and a downer to them since no one likes people who are pessimistic all the time. But Gus really does make me sooo incredibly happy, even if I am depressed. I have always felt comfortable with him. He is the greatest! Happy 1st year together Gus- and to many many more!!!
