My name is Heather Jacobs. I married my first love on April 15, 2007. He drives me completely nuts, but fortunately... the juice is worth the squeeze! My life could never be complete without him in it. His compassion, generosity, and goodness amazes me. He truly makes me a better person. After all the years I have loved him, not only has it gotten stronger, it has in a sense grown up. I know that we will fight and have our hard times, but even going through the bad is okay, because we will be going through it together. Happily ever after does exist, you just have to be willing to work for it.
I'm a pretty awesome person, or at least I think so. I try to live my life as is someone is watching and I do anything I can reasonably do for others. I love to read and write! I am going to school to be a teacher, but what I would really love to do is be a writer. I am working on a novel. When I'm not doing that, I hang out either at my Mom's surrounded by babies, or at the store BJ and I recently opened, Legendary Games. (Shameless Plug: It's awesome, go buy stuff!)
My family is amazing. And my definition of family is someone who loves you unconditionally, who believes in you, who you know would be there no matter what. It just so happens that most of my family isn't genetically connected to me. I love family dinners and hanging out at the park. I love seeing the kids' faces light up when I walk in! My mom definitely passed on her ability to love everyone like family. She's pretty awesome. I guess you'd have to be, to be my mom.
My life has changed a lot recently. Like I said, we opened up the store. It's both amazing and amazingly difficult to have a business, because while I love that BJ has fulfilled his dream, it's a constant worry about money. It's okay though, because I have complete faith that we will always be taken care of. I have gone back to school, which I know would have made my Daddy very happy. BJ and I also really want to have a baby. So far it hasn't been in the cards, I have some fertility problems that we are trying to sort out. But I know that God doesn't make mistakes and I have faith in Him to bless us with exactly what we need, when we need it. Unfortunately sometimes what we need and what we want are two completely different things.
Some things I believe in...
I believe that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I believe that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe that you can keep going long after you can't. I believe that heroes don't always wear costumes. I believe that even when you think you have nothing more to give, when it really counts, you will find the strength to help. I believe the people we love are often taken from us too soon, and that you will always find something to regret when they are. I believe that God has a plan, and one day looking back it will make perfect sense.

You may not know this, but I have 2 guardian angels watching over me. My life will always be more wonderful for having known them and being touched by the

My Daddy was an amazing man, it just took a long time for me to realize it. I know now that he loved me more than almost anyone else in the world. He sacrificed a lot of his ideals, outdated though they were, for my happiness. Regardless of whether I feel he was closed minded, it never occurred to me that when he gave up his prejudices it was a big deal. He gave those up for me, because he loved me just that much.
It's sad but true that, just as no one could ever truly know what it meant to lose him, that I didn't know until it was too late what it meant to have him.
