Falling...

Falling
One look in the eyes
The connection overwhelms me
The realization that it is over
The search has ended
Who are you?
Falling…
The breath of someone who fits
The look of someone who cares
The touch of someone who respects
The emotion of heart breaking love
Falling…
Conversations that last for hours
Listening when needed most
Reassurance every moment
Words creating a lifetime of memories
Falling…
Supporting actions
Thoughtful words
Soul-piercing looks
Chill rushing thoughts
Falling…
The missing puzzle piece
To the end result-
My life is now complete
A perfect fit.
Falling…
A love that will never die
Like the eternal candle
That never flickers
But one that shines forever.
Falling…
A love that fits
A love that fulfills
A love that survives
Falling…
It all started with
Falling in love with you.

I wrote this when I found out that my fiancé wasn’t going to stay with me. I knew there was still that perfect person out there and in the middle of war, the words flowed onto paper, again reassuring me that he existed somewhere. I'm no good at writing anything except history but it was from my heart. It's awesome for me to read this in retrospect now that I am happily married to the love of my life.
I'm teaching a college class for a day!

I need a few minutes of a break and then I must hit the books again. I've written about five pages over the last couple of hours but I need to review more of my sources and then write some more. But I want to write here too. I miss you all, by the way!!
So, my mentor, Dr. R, is amazing, have I said that? He is so so helpful. I mentioned to him that I was worried about my research symposium- I've never done one before so understandably I am nervous as everything! Anyway, I get this email from him early Wednesday morning. He has a thought- I should teach his Afro-American History class. This is a junior-senior level history course. I'm going to be teaching peers for 30-50 minutes!! AHHHH!!! I hope I can do it!! I am shocked, but happy, that he trusts me and respects me on a level where he would be ok with me teaching his class. Sure he gets out of a lecture for a day but it's more than that.
On Friday, I was discussing this whole thing with a very close friend of mine, also a professor, just not my professor. He says, "I hope you know you are being treated like a grad student." Well, I guess I am but it didn't really cross my mind. He goes on and tells me that I'm not your average 22 year old college student, that I'm obviously motivated in what I do, that I'm the kind of person who will actually get in and finish PhD school. So, you know sometimes I need that pep talk and he gave it to me just when I needed it.
Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed with everything that is going on right now. Sometimes I need that "you can do it" talk. Sometimes I need my husband's comforting hug (yes, by the way, he is finally home from disaster assignment in Springfield!!).
So that's me since I last wrote...now my goal is to read some more books, find stables nearby so I can ride horse on the weekends to get away from everything for a couple of hours!! Take care!!
