Some say once someone finds the meaning to life, then true happiness can be achieved. For me, I believe it revolves around finding the person that gives your life meaning. That is where our story begins. Late in December 2015, Maggie and I went on our first date. Of course, being the Star Wars nerd I am, I took her to see the Force Awakens. Maggie and her phenomenal driving skills actually ran the stop sign out in front of the cinema, but I just think she was that eager to meet me. I didn’t know it at the time, but this girl in front of me would be my meaning to life, my purpose, and the catalyst to achieve my dreams. Of course, over 7 years we share plenty of memories and experiences. From our many Disney trips a year to our short staycations to the beach or just Dallas, I am unable to pinpoint the exact day I fell in love with her. But, I can guarantee one thing, when I got down to propose at her nursing graduation, I knew that I had found my meaning to life. So in the end, our story involves two nurses and a pug, who is named after a Star Wars character, of course. Now, as we start this next chapter in our lives, we look forward to what the future may bring now that we have found our meanings to life.
