I have been fortunate enough to be around kind, inspiring women for most of my life, be it in my family or with my friends.

Coming here on this trip, I was really nervous about how things will be...how Aaron's family will react to our relationship now that it's public knowledge, even though I have met most of them before.

But, even in my wildest dreams, I could not have envisioned things going so well.

I thought yesterday was phenomenal, but today has been beyond amazing....And this afternoon especially, has been special and so Surreal.

Spending the afternoon with Aaron's brothers, and their wives riding around the property made me feel like I was part of something special, like part of the family already.

Even as the men went away and I spent time alone with the ladies, listening to them talk about how they met, and hearing part of the journey they are willing to share, it makes me reflect on my own relationship with Aaron and what it could possibly be like a couple of years from now.

To me, my parents have always been a shining example of what marriage should be like...they dated in high school, but broke up when they went to different colleges, then they met up shortly after and got married.

I'm not disillusioned though, because I'm aware that neither one is perfect, I know so many of their flaws, but they have always prioritized their relationship, they share a great and deep friendship and respect for one another, something that they attest to as being one of the major elements of the foundation of their marriage.

When I think of what kind of man I want to get married too, I can't help but think of some of my father's qualities...he can be tough sometimes, but when he comes to my mother, he is steady, old fashioned in a way, patient with her and usually puts her above everything.

Mom doesn't have to compete for his attention....he told me once that that is something that is not based on feelings because feelings fluctuate, but because he made a vow to always put her first and he sticks to it, regardless of how crazy she may drive him sometimes.

When I think of Aaron and I, I see that we have a lot in common in the way we have been brought up, we also have pasts we are abit uncomfortable with, more so for him, but from the moment we met, we have been completely comfortable with each other, we have great chemistry and are attracted to each other like magnets...I think our friendship could use a little more work, but if we just align our goals, I think we could have a really really great shot at something special.

Aaron is such an amazing human being, and I feel incredibly lucky to be in his life the way I am.

To look at him and go this person is mine, mine to hold, mine to touch and talk to any time I want, be it in the middle of the night...he is my man right now and I want it to stay like that always.
