Today's #2. When I knew he was the one...
It's actually hard to say the exact moment when I knew he was the one. I know that I had fallen madly in love him and I knew I wanted to spend quite a long time with him, forever even. We had gone through ups and downs in our relationship. Even when I felt like I couldn't handle our downs, even when thousands of miles separated us at times, we still stuck through it. I think a defining moment for us was after my trip to Palau to visit him... after that, I had felt like we could make it through anything and I felt like we had taken a step forward in our relationship. He'd always known my thoughts and views on marriage and I knew his. I knew when he had come back from the Peace Corps a few months early to be with me, he was serious about us. Maybe that's when I knew for sure. . .
