The Greatest Gift

Today I am enjoying my day off (thanks to Carnaval!) catching up on homework... Not fun. However, I love my life. I love studying for a test and looking over at Thiago playing video games. It's so nice to be able to be together and not have to entertain each other or stop whatever we're doing because we want to spend time together. I love the fact that that when I asked him to go out and buy something for lunch as well as some detergent for the clothes, he came back with lunch, Snickers, and the good brand of clothes detergent. On top of that he proceeded to wash a load of clothes and organize the laundry room. Now, as I was finishing up a paper, he washed all of the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I love hearing him whistle as he works. I love how much he takes care of me and our temporary home. I love being married to Thiago. As we were dating, I had my doubts. He was new believer and a little bit rough at the edges. I didn't know if we would work out. I had known abot the Bible since I was negative 9 months old. He has tasted a bit of every religion on his journey to finding Christ. We have huge differences, but we've taught each other so much. He's taught me how to be more relaxed. I've taught him how to worry a bit more. I think that our balance is beautiful. Thiago makes me a better woman. He makes me love life more and appreciate the little things... such as good music. He has also taught me what bad music is... but I still listen to it when he's not around. Gotta get that Taylor Swift in sometime!
This Friday is our 2 month wedding anniversary. These have been the most awesome 2 months of my life and I couldn't be happier. Thiago is the greatest gift God have ever given me. When we first started dating, we both had a silent agreement that in 6 months, when I moved to Virginia for college, we would break up. But the month that I was to  leave, we decided to take it one day at a time. We couldn't let each other go. We couldn't break up. While I was at Liberty, we went through some rough times where we almost broke up because we couldn't take the distance any longer. Then he came to visit me and after another semester I decided to move back to Brasil. When I came back, I went through a really hard time trying to find my place in São Paulo as well as deal with some reverse culture shock. That was really hard and I thought Thiago and I could never understand each other... I almost broke up with him. But we made it. We worked out our differences and decided that they were for the best. And I'm so glad we did. I can't imagine myself with any other man. I would be completely miserable with anyone else except Thiago.
I don't believe in soul mates because that's corny. However, I do believe Thiago and I were made for each other. I believe we became each other's soulmates. I don't even know if that makes sense to you, but it does in my brain.
Thiago makes me laugh.. He tells stupid jokes, like about how he ate the moldy strogonoff, and he scares me while I'm doing homework. But he's my best friend. And I love him so much.
