Ben Steele started volunteering at BigHouse this semester. He tutors Micah's youngest sisters two days a week and he's also helped out at our wild and crazy Kids' Nights Out this spring. I've had a crush on him since I read his blog post about his first KNO experience. He called to ask me out two days before my birthday. A very wonderful early birthday present! We went out for coffee a week later and talked for 2 1/2 hours. The next week he took me out to dinner and gave me his roots tour of Auburn's campus. (Jenna says the fact that I described the date as "wonderful" even though it was on Auburn's campus was surely an act of God! Haha - it's all been God's actions!) That night we both stated our intentions of marriage and not just dating for fun (although it IS fun!). So now we're an item. A couple. Ben-annah.
Oh he's so wonderful! He's sweet, and romantic, and gentlemanly. He's funny and a great storyteller. He's a godly man. He's an amazing writer. He's so handsome! He's a good sport. He's mature and responsible and trustworthy. He's perfect for me. :)
This scene has been in my head this week.
Our first picture together - he does not like pictures, I've been informed, and he didn't like this one b/c he thought he looked goofy (well and I kinda cut off his head), but I liked it the best. And it's my blog. He can put his favorite on HIS blog! ;)
Awww.. Susannah, he is soo cute and you both look super happy :-) Now, the final test... have you told him you're a..... clogger??? lol.. Love ya girl.. I wish you two the absolute best!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome and for the record I think it's a great picture of both of you! I loved how he loved working at Big House!
ReplyDeleteI like this picture much better than the first! He wasn't smiling very big in the first. He's sweet huh? Hmmmmm well his family might argue this point! If he doesn't treat you well, then just let me know hun and I will take care of that! You seem like a wonderful girl!
ReplyDeleteOh this is his mom!
I'm glad everyone agrees that this is the better picture! haha. And yes, he's wonderful - thank you for doing such a great job! :)
