QOTD: Thursday, February 14, 2008 (VALENTINE'S DAY!)

Good morning girls! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Whether you’re staying in for a romantic dinner, celebrating out on the town, or waiting until the weekend, I hope you and FH have a wonderful time and enjoy each other’s company!


In what ways have you changed, for better and/or for worse, since you’ve been with FH?
Also, how do you feel about the changes? Are you happy about them? Do you dislike them?

Re: QOTD: Thursday, February 14, 2008 (VALENTINE'S DAY!)

I’ve probably mentioned this in the past but prior to meeting FH, I wasn’t the type of girl who wanted to get married or even start a family. Growing up in such a small family, I really wasn’t raised with the same family values that FH was raised with. Watching FH interact with his family, and realizing how important family is to him made it equally important to me. Now, I couldn’t imagine it any other way and I can’t wait to marry him and start a family of our own one day.

On a lighter side, my living space has become more “cluttered” since meeting FH. In general, I really like everything that doesn’t serve an immediate purpose to be tucked away in its appropriate spot until it *does* serve a purpose. FH, on the other hand, leaves things laying around (for instance, mail builds up on the table for weeks before it gets sorted and either thrown away or filed away somewhere). At first, I didn’t like this quality but now I’ve sort of adopted it. I can’t say that I enjoy the clutter, but I certainly create some of it.

I think that I have definitely become more comfortable in m own skin from being with FH. I've struggled with weight issues my entire life..being reallllly heavy.... then losinga lot of weight then struggling with eating disorders... so I have always dealt with 'issues' In no way shape or form am I 100% better with those self image issues..... but FH has made me soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than I used to be. He makes me comfortable with who I am and helps me through it all

that's really nice that FH makes you feel secure with yourself the way you are. weight is a struggle but it becomes so much easier to deal with when the one you love is supportive and loves you unconditionally!

That is GREAT!!! I'm glad you found someone like him!

Re: QOTD: Thursday, February 14, 2008 (VALENTINE'S DAY!)

I've matured, become more patient. I've become more secure with who I am as a person, and it has a lot to do with knowing that I have someone in my life that will love me unconditionally..

Mee tooo! I know EXACTLY what you are talking about Kristen, and I have felt the same way you did. We struggled with similar issues I think. It is such a blessing to have people like our FHs who love us so much and Constantly make us feel beautiful

Oh boy. I can type a novel. I used to be really wild for one. I was always partying and having fun. I drank too much, smoked. Since being with FH, I have changed for the better. I don't smoke and I RARELY drink. When I go out, as opposed to having one pitcher of Marguerita all by myself, I have one glass of vodka / tonic and sip it througout the night. I feel good that I have changed. I have changed to live a better life, to be healthier. I also didn't think I would ever get married. But, here I am now! I also became very responsible. I was going to Nassau when I met FH and had one more class left to graduate. I was lazy then and didn't want to go anymore. I took off for two years. I went back b/c FH encouraged me that I could do it and I did. I got my Associates and I have a great job, going to Farmingdale at night and will be graduating soon with a Bachelors- thanks to FH and his support.

The only bad thing about the changes is as I posted in another thread- I have Thyroid Disorder. It really s*u*c*k*s. When I first was diagnosed, I had gained 50 LBS in 3 months. I didn't know what was wrong. The Dr. put me on meds and I shed the weight- THANK GOD! But, the bad thing is the meds make me really irritable and b*i*t*c*h*y. FH thank God understands. I feel bad that I lash out but he supports me through all this and I am very grateful! This is the only change I truly dislike.

Re: QOTD: Thursday, February 14, 2008 (VALENTINE'S DAY!)

i have never met anyone like my fh. he is so incredibly patient and doesn't let anything bother him. he is so passionate for life, and has such a positive attitude!! he has a great time doing just about anything! he has seriously rubbed off on me! haha

Re: QOTD: Thursday, February 14, 2008 (VALENTINE'S DAY!)

i have changed/grown SO much since i met FH--definitely for the better. i'm more patient and forgiving of people, especially my family. i feel like i'm more upbeat (i guess that's what happens when you're happy). i've really learned a lot about conflict resolution after having discovered ways to disagree w/ someone i really love.

happy valentine's day
