evea lauren haass has only been in my life for a mere four months, but yes we are a cliche; i feel as though i have known her my whole entire life. if you've ever met someone who you felt so completely comfortable with from the moment you met them, than you know what kind of awe-struck relationship i'm talking about here. i do believe that God brings fundamental people into your life with intention and purpose and lauren is one of those people in my life. i'm so lucky to have her!
how did you and lauren meet? at a mayoral candidate debate for the city of san antonio! (yes, we're political nerds.) she was supporting the eventual winner, and i was there to support the opposition. in a crowded auditorium, i looked across the aisle at a sweet-looking, beautiful blondie and asked if i could have a seat. we started talking, realized we had 987,904 things in common and eventually figured out we lived one street apart. annnnd the rest is history!
three words to describe lauren: tough-as-nails. driven. wise.
song(s) that remind me of lauren: anything gary p. nunn, but especially "friends for life" and "roadtrip." "somebody's trying to steal my heart" - kyle park. "good hearted woman in love with a good hearted man" - we changed the words.
the most surprising thing about lauren: let's just state the obvious, my friend is drop-dead gorgeous. she's modeled all over the world and been featured in countless campaigns. she's the kind of girl you would take one look at and dismiss as shallow and vapid based on distorted preconceived ideas, but i'm here to tell you that as beautiful as lauren is on the outside, she is even more radiant on the inside if you can believe that!!! lauren is one of the most compassionate, giving people i've ever met in my life. and dang, that girl is sharp as a tack! she is so accomplished professionally and i have no doubt she could take over the financial world with her mad real estate investment skills. i'm not even going to go into the fact that she's more industrious and handy than most guys you'll meet today...but let's just say she drives a big bad truck, shoots skeet and clay, and can shoot off on a horse with the best of 'em. (lilo, don't kill me for posting this pic of you in your modeling days...)
best thing lauren ever did for me: lauren knows how to really authentically love people and i have benefited greatly from that. she has challenged me to be the very best version of myself and her friendship has helped me grow personally in every way imaginable. having an honest, reciprocal, spiritual relationship with another individual has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
as for how i'm ever going to pay her back? i kinda, sorta was involved in helping her meet a handsome man who happens to be the love of her life and now she's deliriously, blissfully, uncontrollably happy. :):):)
