Last weekend, we went to Eugene to meet our wedding photographer (EEEK!) and take our engagement pictures. We had such a great time (photos to follow), but I realized that his perspective on our relationship would be solely based on our interactions over lunch and between the two of us. This was such a foreign idea to me, as everyone at home knows us so well, individually or together, that it was strange for someone to join our story this far down the road! From that tangent, I started to think, who are we? I feel confident in our individual identities, but who are we as a couple?
We're best friends who turned into lovers, the only way that stands the test of time: Slowly and wholeheartedly. We love to laugh and we are incredibly eccentric most of the time. We're both dreamers who accomplish our goals in very different ways. We share very few common interests aside from each other, but that seems to be enough. He's incredibly protective, myself incredibly driven. We love the Lord and our families like nothing else. We'd could spend every second together and still have things to talk about, while living in separate states we talk a dozen times a day. We're partners in crime and share everything with each other. He said "I love you" before I did, and told me I'd marry him on our first date. We can do independence, but find strength in unity.
D's my best friend, my sanity, and my motivation. I can't imagine my world without him.
As sappy as I am, I think you'll see it on my face in these pictures.
