Meet the one who is right for you – right now!

The internet has been around since the early 90’s and over the years has evolved into a product that over 1.07 billion people use on a daily basis. It allows us to research topics with a click of a button and connects us to people from all around the world, not only that but the internet has allowed people who are searching for that perfect someone a different way to go about finding love.

I realize that there is a stigma with some people about using the internet in order to find “love” but don’t knock it until you try it. I am a person who is all for finding friends and people you could possibly fall in love with over the internet because if it wasn’t for the internet I wouldn’t have ever met Alan. If you came to me and asked me if I thought it was a good idea to meet someone from a dating site like True.com, I would tell you to go for it and would be fully supportive; after all, you deserve to find that special someone and who knows it could work out for the best!

I didn’t meet Alan from a website like True, but I do know that it’s a great way to find the love of your life and have heard many stories from personal friends of mine who have met their loved ones via a website like such. And if you’re worried about getting stuck with a weirdo you should know that True takes the safety of their clients seriously and screens each person who opens an account with them to check for criminals and others. Not only that, but they offer a great variety of informational material on relationships and have a section fully dedicated to advice about romance and even a coaching center to help you through those nervous times about dating.

If you haven’t met the love of your life, like I have or your friends have, I would definitely take advantage of True.com’s free sign up and search for free the millions of men and women who could possibly be your prince charming or princess. If everything else has seemed to lead to nowhere, why not give this a shot – you might get lucky and you deserve to meet the one who is right for you.

Stronger than ever.

I honestly cannot describe how extremely happy I am, despite Alan having left to fly back home this morning at 6am. The last week and a half that I spent with him was absolutely amazing and filled with happiness and laugther – it makes all the rough patches we went through worth it all. We celebrated our one year anniversary (June 29th) with a nice dinner at a japanese steakhouse and seeing the movie Wanted. We spent a night with my cousin, Brendan and her boyfriend, Dillon having some drinks and the rest of the time was spent watching movies or playing Xbox – just being together.

Nothing was ever brought up about the issues we’ve had since being apart (which I always attributed to the distance we have been us) and yet in the end, we both felt at ease with everything and felt that whatever needed to be worked out, had been worked out without ever saying a word. We just needed to be together.

And while, it makes me cry because he isn’t here and he’s not there for me to wake up to in the morning, I am extremely happy because I have someone that I can trust with my heart. He takes care of me and I take care of him and he’s the one person I know will always be there for me when no one else is. We are in this together for the long term and I can’t wait until we can be in a more normal and regular setting. And while, at this point in time my situation regarding school and his situation regarding work is uncertain, one thing that we both know will always be certain is us and I wouldn’t trade that for ANYTHING in the world.

11:50pm!

That’s the time Alan will be arriving in Charleston, and staying until the morning of July 5th; I honestly cannot tell you how excited I am. I went to work at 10pm last night to help with inventory and was so pumped up that I was dancing around the store in front of people that I didn’t know – we had some inventory company come in and computer count all our merchandise while we hand counted them; I was scheduled until 5am but we finished around 1:30am and I was home by 2am.

It’s been a very long and rough six months but we managed to pull through all the hard times despite it seeming like it was over at times. He means the world to me and I cannot wait to be in his arms later tonight. I work from 7p-10p, will come home and change clothes and leave for the airport shortly after; I doubt I’ll be able to focus on anything but him flying in because I’m that excited. I know he’s tired of hearing me say how excited I am but hey…I have a RIGHT to be considering all the crap we’ve been through!

I’ve been majorly busy since yesterday though with cleaning my room and the bathroom – I let things pile up until I can’t stand it anymore so it seems like a huge job when I finally do get around to cleaning, I need to stop doing that. Right now, I’m in the process of washing a few more clothes before I throw in my sheets and blankets, then it’s off to shower and get ready for work and then…AIRPORT + ALAN!! Posting will most likely be very little this week while he is here, but don’t worry because I’ll have major updates later.

I will be.

There’s nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me

All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you’d go


I know I let you down
But it’s not like that now
This time I’ll never let you go


I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I’ll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay


I thought that I had everything
I didn’t know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly

You’re the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you’re here with me
And if I let you down
I’ll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I’ll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay
Cause without you I cant sleep
I’m not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You’re all I’ve got, you’re all I want
Yeah

And without you I don’t know what I’d do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see,
You’re all I need
And I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life (my life), I’ll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the world around us – school, work, activities, families, etc – that we don’t take the time to seriously realize, reflect and be thankful for the people that our in our lives that mean so much to us; sometimes, it takes almost losing one of those people for us to realize how thankful we are to have them.

I always knew I loved my boyfriend, and I knew from the moment that we started talking that my relationship with him would be completely different than any other relationship I had before. Over the past year, I have grown to love him more every day and have allowed my walls to come down completely to where I was able to give him my heart for everything that is it. However, I did not realize and was not prepared for how much loving someone could hurt at the same time; it is no lie that long distance relationships are hard as hell, and it is no lie that I have said some hurtful things and have been frustrated over petty things that I should have just thrown to the way side…but at the same time, it is no lie that no matter how much I cried, how much I’ve screamed, how much I’ve hurt him by the things I’ve called him, that he has never given up on me.

We have both said at one time or another that we were done, we couldn’t do it anymore, the relationship wasn’t going to work and many of those times, one of us has believed it to be true…but this time it felt more real than it ever had before, so much so that it literally made me sick. It was at that moment that I realized just how much I do love my boyfriend and how big of an influence he has been on my life. It is no lie that in the year we have been dating, I have been the happiest I have ever been since I moved to South Carolina. After not dating anyone for three years and literally throwing dating and meeting anyone into the garbage, I met the man of my dreams…and while, we have had our up’s & down’s that can be attributed to our stubborn headedness and our strong minds and strong hearts, as well as the distance we’ve had between us – I can honestly say that he knows me better than anyone, and he’s the one person who has had my back every time even when I didn’t believe it.

It may have taken a petty argument and him telling me he was leaving for me to realize exactly what I would be losing, but I would have rather that happened than to keep taking forgranted what I’ve had all along. My goal in every relationship I’ve ever had has been to make my partner happy and for my partner to be happy with me and I realize that I do make him happy by being me…nothing added, just plain ol’ me. I take responsibility for my actions, for my words, and for my faults but I’m also taking a stance and letting the world know along with my boyfriend that: I love you Alan Goodsmith, and you ARE the most precious thing to me because you give me that hope, you allow me to keep my head up when I don’t think I can, and you believe in me when I don’t even believe in myself. And like the song says above, “all the pain, the tears I cried and still you never said goodbye,” you have not given up on me even when I felt like giving up…for every time I ever thought you didn’t love me and that you didn’t care, I truly am sorry for the bottom of my heart because I do realize now what it is that I actually have and I am so very lucky.

I love you more than words can describe and I could never thank you enough for not giving up on me. Keep being my rock, and I’ll keep being yours – life isn’t easy but it’ll be easier if we live it together.

I wasn’t expecting that.

Feb 15

Posted by Ashley in Relationship | 1 Comment

I hardly slept last night, which seems to be the story of my life when it comes to sleep as of lately; staying up late, sleeping all day or being so dead tired that when I finally get into bed I can’t fall asleep…it’s weird and it didn’t help that at around 11:40ish or so a FedEx truck pulled up in front of my apartment making all kinds of noise. I sleepily looked out the window and thought to myself, “what the hell? I didn’t order anything” and I wasn’t expecting anything either. I watched the lady open the side of the truck and the passenger door, she stood there, shifted some boxes, closed the doors and went on her merry way. I thought “that’s odd…if she knocked, I definitely didn’t hear it” so I figured I better go down to make sure I didn’t miss something in case there was a package for me since I didn’t hear the door. I opened the door as she pulled away and found a small box underneath the door mat, which surprised me since I was not expecting anything from anyone for Valentine’s Day even from Alan due to the fact that he’s been out of the job for almost a month and needs to save money, and he told me he’d get me something at a later date for V-day and my birthday.

Of course, I was excited because I had received a package I wasn’t expecting so I hurriedly ripped through the taped up box to find a card and a bag of milk chocolate Godiva hearts, and started to tear up. It was a Valentine’s gift from Alan, which was a total surprise. The card made me smile and giggle at the same time because he had one of my favorite pictures of him added to it so when I opened it and his big ol’ head was on the side of the card, I had to laugh to myself. Sometimes, the best things are those that happen unexpectedly.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Feb 14

Posted by Ashley in General | 1 Comment

In my opinion, every day should be Valentine’s Day; not because you get to shower your significant other with flowers, chocolates or cheesy cards but because you should spend every day making sure the person you love the most KNOWS that you love them. I try my hardest every day to make sure that Alan knows that I love him…I may not go out of my way and do anything extraordinary but I rather him hear it too much and know that I love him, than have him hear it to little and be left with wondering exactly how I feel. So, if any of you have someone that needs to know you love them or if you haven’t told someone you love them in awhile, do so today – I’m sure it’ll make them smile!
