The most amazing person. Ever.

Hard to believe that your life can do a complete 180 degree turn in the matter of a few months.

Mine did. As skeptical as I can be, this recent change in my life has renewed my faith in everything.

Literally.

I was destined to be alone. That is what I thought anyway, then…it happened.

It was a regular boring night at Best Buy, when in walked a girl that immediately caught my eye. She had a glow about her. A force that drew me to her. It would have probably been way easier to let her browse the DVD section alone, in search of a movie, and she may or may not have found it, and may or may not have bought it.

But I had a budget to make that night, I was a few dollars away, but something about her magnetism pulled me towards her.

I was nervous. I was sweating…and for what? She was just another customer right?

We talked. We made conversation. She made me smile. I made her smile. She made me laugh. I made her laugh. It wasn’t that fact laugh I do when customers say something that they think is funny or cute, but in reality is dumb as shit. She was genuine. Through and through, 100% genuine.

I sold the girl with the email address “lovinthe352″  2 DVD’s.

But it was SOOOO much more than that.

Something clicked, and I could not describe it. I figured, I would never see her again though, because, in my life…that is how things go. You see that potential last puzzle piece, and you think it may fit, and then you realize it was the piece to someone else’s puzzle.

A week or two later, I found my puzzle piece again. She came into Best Buy, and wandered around We talked some more. She took home my business card…which was more or less me taking a leap. I asked her to email me. Another week passed, no email, and I figured “Meh, that makes sense…such is my life.

Then, one day it happened. I got that email I was waiting for. I was giddy. I read it, thought hard about waiting a day to respond…because you know as well as I do, you can’t seem too anxious in situations like that. After all, there are social standards to live by right? The whole 48 cool down period before you call someone when you get there number.

Fuck that, I never got any phone numbers really, so I figured why not email her now?

I did.

The rest is the beginning to what I KNOW will be a very long history. Of togetherness.

Funny how when the last puzzle piece falls into place, and you experience REAL love for the first time…how everything changes for you.

I needed someone to challenge me. To push me to achieve greatness. To listen to me. To pick me up when I fall. To give me faith. To be there to console me and to help me realize when I am wrong.

Kim Hubbard is all of that and then some.

I have never met someone as dynamic as her. The fact that I can lay in bed, and talk to her for hours upon end, about nothing and everything all at the same time is mind blowing.

The fact that after less than four months…she can complete my sentences. Not once, but all the time.

The fact that she trusts me. The fact that I trust her. She has opened my eyes to things I have never seen, felt, or experience ever.

I hear my friends talk about being in love, and how great it is, and how happy they are. I was always jealous. I always thought it was exaggerated. Like it was just some big trick fuck they came up with to help explain why they act the way they do when they are around the person they love.

I found out that is not the case. I am willing to make whatever sacrifices I have to to make things right for Kim and I. I have learned so much about myself, just by merely knowing her.

I always had a checklist. That I kept to myself. Kind of a Christmas wishlist like you put together when your 7 and spend hours pouring over the Sears catalog when it comes out.

On this checklist, it had things I would look for in the girl I want to marry.

I never met ANYONE that nailed everything I was looking for except for Kim.

Babe, if you read this, I do even know how I can begin to thank you for all you have done so far. I feel safe with you. I feel complete. I feel like I can conquer the world. I KNOW that someday, we will have amazing children, who will be just as amazing as us. I KNOW that our business we keep talking about will take off. I KNOW, that after years of searching, you are the one I am supposed to be with. I KNOW, that I LOVE YOU.

The depth of your passion knows no bounds. Your heart is bigger than the Grand Canyon. Your laugh is infectious. Your sense of humor is amazing. Your jokes are even better. Your intelligence is stunning. You are talented. Beautiful. Your smile lights up the room and makes my heart melt. Your eyes are captivating and deep. You are driven. Family oriented. Successful. Artistic. A bit nerdy. All these things are what I have been waiting for. Somehow,you captured them all and put them into one person. I thought it was impossible…found out its not.

You make me proud. I am proud to walk up to anyone and say “This is my girlfriend Kim”…but you are so much more than just my girlfriend. That seems like such an empty shell in comparison to how I feel about you. Girlfriend is not enough. You are my best friend. My soul mate.

You have taught me things I didn’t know could be learned. You have opened my eyes to the world. You are my reason for wanting to wake up each day and smile. You aren’t afraid to tell me what I do that bugs you, what you life. What I did wrong, what I can do better.

Sometimes, I lay in bed at night, and stair at you as you sleep and wonder what in the hell I have done to be so lucky. Where is the catch? Well, you have said it before…there is no catch…and now I believe it. I am ready. For anything that crosses my path. I can’t imagine going on the rest of this journey we call life without you.

I love you Kimberly Jo Hubbard. I can’t wait to see what the rest of our lives together hold…
