I knew it was different...
...when he cared to look for me when geocaching took me away all day
...when just chatting on the couch he stopped mid-conversation to tell me how beautiful I am
...when he sat on the porch with me stemming cherries so we could make Christmas gifts
...when he learned what an aperitif was - and then explained it to the cashier
...when I thought to myself, "I hope in 20 years we're still stemming cherries..."
...when he went to Texas and played hungry hippo with my 3 year-old nephew, disc golf with my brothers and along when I twisted off into a tangent
...when he realized that meeting one of my best friends was a big deal
...when he said the best part of Texas was the people and the best conversation was with my uncle
...when he laughed with my kids while playing Uno and didn't think twice about spending time with them
...when he looks forward to cutting down a Christmas tree - and funny Christmas cards we can send to people
...when he listens to advice I received from a wise-sage at work who told me to stop trying to be like the 'norm' and go back to being me - and then he took me to get my nose repierced
...when he's brave enough to say he didn't like what I made for dinner - and I get excited because it was a boxed meal that I hated cooking for years but thought all men liked
...when his family - every single one of them - make me feel welcome
...when we make Lord of the Rings references - and get them
...when we both start speaking in bad British accents
...when he is debating whether to buy his favorite tea because I told him recently that all the plastic bottles we use really bothers me
...when we are completely inappropriate - and it's so funny we can't stop giggling
...when we are silent and happy in the same room
...when we are not even around each other - and respect that we need to be different and individuals in order to be happy
... and it's just different. And I know it. And I'm so very blessed because fate and the universe brought us together.
(And I'm just so happy.)
(And I had to share.)
Love to you all.
Even you.
