This was in the Future Wives thread and someone suggested posting it here, so since it's my story, I thought I would just do it. I hope you enjoy.

[quote]Future Wife of Phatmass checking in.

I would like to share the story of me and my boyfriend if you don't mind.

I am a first-year student in college and he's a junior social work major at the same college. One evening we both attended The Rock, which is the Catholic worship group on campus. At that time I was seriously praying to God that if He willed me to be in a relationship to bring show me the right person and I would follow His lead. Well that night, we were in the same small group and he (I'll call him N from now on) was saying that he wanted to be Confirmed since he had never been when he was younger. When I had heard that I prayed to God that I may be able to help him in anyway possible.

Small group ended that night and a group of us walked down to say the Rosary like we do every Tuesday night. After Rosary ended I stayed in the Chapel and prayed. I knew that there was going to be a change in my life, but I was unsure as to what it was going to be so I remained and meditated on it. Little did I know that N was walking in the gardens around the Chapel praying and watching me as well. I left Chapel twice and returned to pray, then I had left for the night.

The next evening, I decided to take a break from my work and go exercise at the wellness center. I ended up joining a few friends playing volleyball and as I was planning on leaving the wellness center I saw N at the rockwall doing some work. I said hello and another of N's co-workers said goodnight and N saw me and we started to talk.

We talked in the Wellness Center and moved to the 24 hour computer lab on campus starting to talk about our faith. I was telling N about my Confirmation Saint and he said that he thought he had seen a stained glass window of St. Catherine of Alexandria in the Chapel, so we went to see. I was so extatic that there actually was and that he wanted to show it to me.

So we returned to the dorms and started talking. Since it was getting close to the "anti-cohabitation" hours we went to a public area to talk. We ended up talking all night about everything and anything. Never did I expect that one simple "hello" would do so much. We talked all night and by about 6 o'clock the following morning we were sitting on a balcony watching it gradually get lighter outside (because it was so foggy) and giving grace to God. We didn't separate until about 9 that morning and all we did for over 12 hours was talk, and by the time we separated for a while, we were "dating"

To this day, we have both grown greatly in out faith and give all glory for us being together to God. There is no other reason that we know of that explains how after only knowing eachother for roughly a day that we are together. We both know that we need to follow God's will and we will, even if it means that God is calling us to go our separate ways.

I pray for us, and for my future husband. I don't know if it is him, but I still pray. We will be together for three months on the twenty second. I pray for God's will to be done no matter what it is, and I am willing to pray for anyone else who wants me too or needs prayers.

God bless-

Well, Sam's dream is to attend medical school and become a forensic pathologist (which is great because I am a forensic toxicologist and we work hand-in-hand with pathologists).

So, I went to Barnes & Noble over the weekend and bought two MCAT (think SAT but for medical school) strategy and practice books; the first was a comprehensive review of the MCAT with study notes, practice tests, and test-taking strategies; the second was a Kaplan book (awesome test preparation company; they guarantee higher grades or your money back) specifically designed to prepare someone for the advanced questions on the test. I also bought a 10-pack of Juicy Fruit because Sam likes to chew gum and I am allergic to the smell of mint.

I planned to give them to her yesterday but I only saw her once and, even better, my friend said she would bring in wrapping paper for me.

Today could not have gone better.

Zero-ly, I awoke to the sound of Sam's voice (on the phone). I could get used to that. :D

First, I finished my paper for biochemistry quickly and easily.

Second, my friend remembered to bring in the wrapping paper (I was supposed to call her to remind her but I waited too long; I blame Phatmass for distracting me and I will say . . . Rachael in particular :P ).

Third, I wrapped them up really well and finished off the package with a very pretty green bow (it was much too large at first so I trimmed it down; my friend said I did a very good job).

Fourth, Sam came into the computer lab to have me proofread her paper for English and my friend's jacket was covering the gift. *score*

Fifth, Sam's essay was, for the most part, well done. Of course, it was written in opposition to the banning or restriction of pornography, so that is not too good, but the MCAT includes a written portion (2 essays in 1 hour), so this improvement in writing is a good sign (Sam is Korean).

Sixth, Sam was hungry and asked for a piece of gum so I had the chance to give her the 10-pack of Juicy Fruit. She was very happy. :wub:

Seventh, my friend reminded me that it would be best to give my gift to Sam at the train station instead of in the computer lab because Sam does not seem very comfortable with public displays of affection.

Eighth, Sam was ready to leave just when I had nothing left to do. My friend had picked up her jacket but had the foresight to put the gift into a bag so Sam would not see it.

Ninth, when we got to the train station God answered my prayers and did not have her train waiting for her. :saint:

Tenth, I got to tell her a little about how I felt when she tried to refuse the gift, ("I didn't get you anything." "I didn't buy it because I wanted something. I bought it for you because I know it will help you and I want you to have it.")

Eleventh, I got to tell her even more. ("What . . . what can I buy?" "I don't want you to buy anything, Sam. I just want to help you ... and a hug." :D

:group:

:wub:

Twelfth, after she gave me a hug, I said "Now I'm happy." "Are you not happy if I don't hug you?" "I'm not [i]as [/i]happy. You make me happy."

Thirteenth, Sam gave me another hug without my asking. I think I :ascension: . :wub:

Fourteenth, and best of all, I could see how happy she was. I can still see it ... and I want to see it again.

I think I love her.

"I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

I think I love you
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)."


We are both far from home. She is here from Korea, I am here from Arizona. We both plan to graduate at about the same time but her plans leave her here while mine take me back home. I would love to take her back home with me but that would require her to sacrifice her dreams of medical school (she has her heart set on NYU Medical School and even intimated that if she did not get in she would go back to Korea). I would love to stay with her but it would be impractical (no money) and I have obligations at home (as well as my own heart-set dream of Arizona State graduate school).

I hope and pray that God finds a way for us to be together. But first and foremost, I have to focus on loving her and Him as each deserves to be loved by me.

I still can't concieve what it would be like to have someone... and have it meant to be. To have something go on past the infatuation and grow into something more beautiful. I just... it has beauty beyond what words can describe. It's hard for me to think it's even possible.. but I guess I gotta accept on faith that it is, eh?

My only one,
I went to work today. Thought about you when I listened to this song, made me think of you.

"see at last, my love has come along. my lonely days they are over, and life like a song. At last. the skies above well they are blue and my heart is wrap up in clovers. As soon as I looked at you.....Blllbum bum bum dada da da ooya well its after morning he's buring up shine, he knows its time to make a change, make a compromise, time for all the wrong reasons, but we sleep all day, we sleep all day, over and over again. She said what would your mother say, how will your father react oh lord..."

I am sitting next to Sam right now in the school computer lab, getting ready to proofread her paper once again.

I plan to ask her out to lunch/dinner at a Korean restaurant. She made me kind of mad yesterday. I was hungry and it made me think about asking her out to get something to eat either tomorrow (which is today) or on the 22nd after our finals or in February when I get back to school. Then, last night she calls me and talks about how much she misses eating Korean food.

Sure, it seems like a perfect set-up but the weekend before I gave her the MCAT books she talked about how gifts help to build a relationship (they show that you are thinking about and caring for the other person).

So twice I have had an independent thought of something nice to do for her and twice she has mentioned it to me on the phone the day before I could enact my plans. I like that we seem to be thinking alike but I do not want her to get the impression that I am doing these things just because she mentioned them. I want her to know that I am thinking about her and caring for her and planning to do things with her and for her to help build a relationship. So today, if she agrees to go to lunch/dinner with me, I will explain to her what I have just shared with all my future husband/current husband/girls who probably should not be in this thread friends.

:P
