Why I Think Being Friends First HelpsYour Relationship So Much

Let me start off by saying by no means do you HAVE to be friends first to have an amazing relationship, however this is from my personal experience and I wouldn't have it any other way in my case.

I love that I began as friends with my fiance when we were younger because I feel like being friends first creates a really strong base for your relationship, my fiance knows things about me that make a world of difference in how he responds to me.

In various situations if we hadn't been friends before he wouldn't understand how I was reacting to things.

With my anxiety for example, he's learned much more through our 4.5 years together but he knew a good amount beforehand as well.

One example is how I used to eat in the kitchen at our church because all the people stressed me out. Sometimes he'd even bring me food so I wouldn't have to go get it.

Because of seeing that and experiencing that in our friendship he knew recently exactly what was going on when I didn't want to eat at an event.

He also knows why certain things upset me and not to do them.

Now am I saying he couldn't have learned this if we went friends? No, he could've, but it's very hard for me to open up and it's taken him the whole 11 years we've known each other to get to know me like he does, even now he sometimes has to push me for information to understand more.

And trust me, even knowing me so well, our relationship has been tested before because of some of my issues, but I think how long we've known each other and how much he cares for me (especially then because it was early on) really helped him stick with me through what it was.

So definitely I believe you can have an amazing relationship without knowing each other long, but I think there is something to be said for the foundation made when you have the opportunity to become friends before getting together.

What you should know about dating a gamer

Hey guys!! I wanted to do a slightly different kind of post today, my boyfriend is a gamer and so I thought it could be fun to do a post on what you should know about dating a gamer, and the best part? This list is gamer approved. :) lol 1. Gamers will game... alot. If you are going to date a gamer you have to understand this, gaming is part of what he loves doing, especially if he's hardcore gamer, so don't be one of those girlfriends who's constantly trying to make him stop playing, gamers don't like that at all. You shouldn't try and change him, but accept who he is, or other option find a guy who isn't a gamer. lol 2. Sometimes, it will take an eternity to get a text back, or he forgets. You'll get used to it. There are just some games where you can't pause them or they are just too difficult for him to text you back quickly. If he likes this game: that can be especially true. And trust me I've played it, he

Getting my Belly Button Pierced

(Photo by Grace, Southern Grace Photography) So I did something super exciting and scary recently. I got my belly pierced!! I researched and found a awesome tattoo shop called Golden Spiral Tattoo, I totally recommend them btw. I went with my fiance and we told them what we were there for and I gave them my ID and signed the papers after the piercing artist did a short 'consultation' which was basically just looking at and feeling my belly button area. She told me because I bend right at my belly button when I sit and stuff I would need to be sure to sit up straight, but it looked good and she could do it. We went back with her to a little room and she cleaned around my belly button and marked where to pierce with her maker and measured the area. She had a few different belly rods I guess? laying out for me to choose from so I chose a small diamond looking one (pictured obviously lol) and she sanitized it. She had me lay on the table and adjust

Loreal True Match Foundation Review

I've had this for a few months now so I decided it was time to do a review. I have the color Alabaster which is a cool shade. It actually matches my skin tone perfectly so that's a really big plus. This lasts all day long, but on me it doesn't really help all that much with my skin getting oily/shiny looking. I actually think this might make my skin look MORE shiny because it has a bit of a dewy finish (which is great if your skin isn't already oily). That being said I do like this, but I'm not sure I'll repurchase it because of the shine factor but I think if you have normal or dry skin then this would be something good to try and they have plenty of shades so it's a good chance you'll be able to find your skin tone.
