It’s no secret Johnny and I are both incredibly driven people. We are driven when it comes to making good lives for our families, being successful in our careers and maintaining happiness in life. However, we are also driven when it comes to our relationship. In a previous post, I mentioned how we handle priority in our relationship. We both believe our ability to be adaptable and change our priorities is our formula of love. Since we are so driven, at this stage in our lives our careers mostly take priority. When Johnny and I first met, I expressed my love and passion for news. A long-distance relationship was inevitable for us.

When I moved to Nebraska in 2014 to start my journalism career, Johnny was more than supportive. He not only drove in the moving truck with my Dad but came to visit frequently. Whenever Johnny couldn’t visit because he was buried with his company, I never got upset. There was a time Johnny was in crunch mode for months. The both of us are big-picture people. In retrospect, even a decade apart is minimal compared to the rest of our lives together. Our formula of love is simple: whatever needs the most priority gets it. I’ll never forget when Johnny put my family first, over his work, when my Dad got sick. It’s about what requires your attention at that time, not a balance, which suggests there has to be some justice of the scales. This is something we will carry into our engagement and marriage.

Even though we are a while away from getting engaged, we think about it frequently. The idea of designing your own engagement ring is becoming more popular. I certainly want Johnny to have a hand in how my engagement ring looks!
