Leading up to Thanksgiving, I've been listing what I'm thankful for on facebook. Today's is much too long to put in a status update because today I am thankful for Emmitt.
Joshua Robert (aka Emmitt) is my everything. I have other people I love dearly but I would be lost without Josh. When I met him I was a mess. He was there as a friend and I fell in love. We're still friends, he's my best friend, but now he's much more.
He knows how to speak to my heart in ways I never knew possible. He has helped me understand myself and grow into the woman I want to be. He taught me that it's okay to be me, because I am something great.
I knew he was someone special when I took my first bad call at convergys. I cried and he brought over toys. He didn't say anything, he just put some toys on my desk. It very much cheered me up. We went to dinner that night and probably every night for like the next three months.
We had game nights and prom night with Brittany...he let me come to his parents' house for family dinner. Immediately he made me feel at home just the way I am. He has accepted me and all my baggage and he never complains.
He's an amazing cook, a fantastic joke-teller and the best boyfriend I've ever had. Most days I feel like I don't deserve him but I'm never letting go. He makes me feel beautiful inside and out.
I'm thankful to his mother (and father) for raising him to be the gentleman he is.
I'm thankful to him for opening his heart and his home and letting me in. He is my absolute favorite and I love him with all that I am. I'm lucky to be spending another Thanksgiving with him and our family. :)
