My Crazy, WONDERFUL Life! : My Brad - Finally found the love of my life

This year on Valentine's Day my friends worried that I would get back with the guy I had been dating prompted me to get on Tinder, a dating app. So I decided why not....SO GRATEFUL I did.

Tinder is a funny thing, I really liked it because unless you like a guy they can't talk to you and then when they do start talking to you, it is only first names and you have to talk through the app. I really liked that. I had heard too many horror stories about dating sites and don't think I could have ever brought myself to join one of those.

Brad and I 'liked" each other and started talking that night. We went out a few days later then he left to go back to Minneapolis. Over the next month and a half, we talked, texted and emailed each other until he came into town next. It was really fun to get to know him this way, It forced us to really get to know each other since all we could do was talk.

Since that first message between us we have had so many fun adventures. I love that Brad is as adventurous as I am.

I didn't think there was a man out there so perfectly made for me but Brad is.

We swim on a competitive masters swim team together.

We bike together, I love that one of our first dates we went for a 24 mile bike ride.

We run together, though he is much faster than I am.
In the 7. 5 months we have known each other we have done 3 half marathons, 4 Ragnar's, 2 5k's, a moonlight 25 mile bike ride and an olympic Triathlon.

I love how athletic Brad is, I am actually amazed at how good he is at everything he does.

I can truly say that I have never been this happy in my life. I have never been more in love. I have never been loved like this and I am so grateful. I honestly didn't know a relationship could be this way.

Brad is my best friend and the most amazing man I have ever known. He is the best dad to his girls and step dad to my kids. Absolutely adore everything about this man. I can't wait to get home to him every night and wish I could spend every second of every day with him.

Some of our fun adventures this year.
