A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away (okkk so just up the road in good ol Denton, TX), a 22 year old boy asked/told a 20 year old girl to be his girlfriend late one night after a graduation party. This was about 5 months into their friendship. The young girl didn't know what she was getting herself into, and luckily she took took a leap of faith and looky: after a summer of pool parties and summer jobs, they became a 28 year old husband and a 26 year old wifey this year, and they lived happily ever after!
6 short (or long) years later (I can't decide if it's gone fast or gone slow), and here we are! Over half a decade of love. moving closer to double digit years every single day. How is this my life? I love that this is my life!
I also love...
1...the way that the husband kisses/hugs me goodbye every morning while I'm snoozing until my actual alarm goes off. we also play this game of him trying to grab my feet through the covers, and it makes me remember how I used to play that game with my childhood kitty, Gory, except that she had claws when she caught my toesies. owie. <3
2...our fake accents that we use to talk to each other in. no normal english communication around this campsite! do you geeeet wat i am sayinnggg (in a cross between borat and making up my own dialect). can't be too serious, you know?
3...being vain here: i love how handsome my husband is. especially when he wears black. or navy. or white. or teal. or pretty much everything. jeans and rolled up sleeves on a button up? khakis and a t-shirt with a backwards hat? *swoon*
4...that he has the travel bug now! so far I've managed to get him to travel to mississippi (crossing over arkansas and tennessee to get there), the bahamas, new york city, baltimore, washington dc, back to new york city, and hopefully plenty more places to come (in and out of the country).
5...how handy he is and is becoming. he has made several projects from scratch (including a table to go behind our couch and a knock off pottery barn head board), and not to mention that he stained our entire fence and arbor to make it look pretty and cherry-woody. next on the list is re-landscaping our front yard. oh the life of a homeowner! i'll do the pointing and tell him where to put things and he can do the labor because he looks good at lifting things ;)
6...that he loves me the same regardless of if i actually did my hair or not. or showered or not. or am sweaty and gross and smelly. he has seen me at my worst and still loves me like it's my best.
Love, love.
