Sorry for the late blog post, work has been hectic but that’s a story for another time if i remember to blog again. Today’s blog will be a typical love blog. And before I get started, I am sometimes those people who has hated love all my 20 years of life so far. But I was lucky enough to be blessed to find who I think is my soulmate. So, let me get to the point of this.

So, when I got hired at my current job, I had to get tech certified trained (fancy word to just say I needed to learn how to help out with technical problems over the phone), I left my team being top agent. Before I left, we had 3 people join my team, one of the 3 being Jacob. We had one training where half was an in class training and the rest was on the phones. We were so available on the phones that our team started to have a dance party while waiting for calls to come in. That’s when I noticed Jacob. He was so quiet and kept to himself the whole night. He only talked to one guy that night but would occasionally look at me cause i was being loud as heck lol. We didnt talk at all that night. Fast forward 2-3 weeks after training and I went back to being on a team with Jacob. Jacob found out who I was because of my name. He always asked who I was because I wasn’t there and I had a really weird name. Little by little, I would start to talk to him at work and just pick on him. On one of his first days with us, we invited him to have lunch with the whole team so we could get to know him more…he sat across the table from me that day. Then out of no where, my coach said “Jacob, if your 18, and Irasema is 18, yall should totally date!” BOY WAS THAT THE MOST AWKWARD MOMENT AT WORK YET CAUSE JACOB RESPONDED BACK WITH TELLING EVERYBODY HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME. Dreams Crushed….for now. Either way, I started to look forward to work because we picked on each other SO much. In November 2015, he showed up to work super early one day and I was like “why are you here so early?” and he didnt want to tell me…..little did i know that he came in early to tell everybody he was quitting. I was so sad that day, I guess my feelings developed a little there but I forgot about him a little after that. I ended up finding him on facebook a couple weeks later and sent him a request. I sent him a message but he never responded back. Then out of the blue, in March, he responded back…..we haven’t stopped talking since then. We texted everyday, falling more in love with each other. He worked at a prision so the hours were way worse than mine. But I would stay up to talk to him because he was worth it. He quit the prision job to move to Houston to work. It was really bad because I hadn’t seen him since he quit my job and I got attached by that time. We would video chat through facebook to make things easier. It sucked so much. I would cry because all I wanted was to see him and the fact that he didnt know when he was coming back to the valley was worse. He ended up texting me one day out of no where that he was coming back and staying in the valley again. I was so happy knowing that he was back in the same town as me. I saw him the next day that I could and I was so happy because he was home. He has seen me at my high and low points in life. He accepts me for who I am. He makes me laugh so much, makes me realize that I can do anything I set my mind to, and supports and loves me unconditionally. There has been other guys trying to talk to me while I am with him but none of them compare to Jacob. People have tried to tell me they’re better but in reality, Jacob is SO amazing. My coach from work who said we should date is so happy that him and I are still together. She is the reason as to why him and I are together and we love her so so much. Although we fight with each other saying that my coach loves one of us more than the other, we owe it all to her.  Jacob has treated me like a princess since day 1. He cares so much about me, he is my shoulder to cry on whenever I am frustrated from work, he understands the stress my job brings me and listens to me vent out everything I have on my mind. He puts up with my random anger moment and takes all the shit I give him when he doesn’t deserve to get yelled at. He loves it when I say stupid stuff to make him laugh and act silly around him. He thinks I’m perfect when I feel like the most imperfect person to exist. He knows my whole story about my residency and stands by me completely. His arms are my safe haven and time freezes whenever we are together. He makes me the HAPPIEST girl in the whole entire world. He is truly the person I see myself walking down the aisle with. He is the one I picture buying a house with, buying a car, starting a family with, and so on. He is the biggest blessing in my life. He is my best friend but also the love of my life. He puts up with me and my selfie addiction, my snapchat addiction and also my shopping addictions. LOL. (and yes he has tried to take away my debit card sometimes and tell me to not spend my money all the time, its working btw). I never tell people about my love life, this is basically the first time I ever say it, but he is totally worth bragging about. (reason as to why i never brag about it at work is because everybody there is nosey af.) But yes, he is the love of my life and I couldn’t be any more blessed to have this guy in my life. He is one of a kind and I know that wherever life decides to take either one of us, we will follow each other and support each other endlessly. We’ve been together since March 24th, 2016. One year, 2 months so far…..and hopefully many more years and months together.
