Love Like Ours

Every night much past my bedtime and every morning much past my wake-up time, I take one look at my husband and can't help but smile.

As little girls, we wonder what love would be like. As twenty-somethings, we search... wait... or a little bit of both... for that love to come along.

Everyday, JP shows me what love is. Love is waking up earlier than you need to to make coffee. Love is walking you to the bus in the cold rain. Love is texting a kissy face emoji in the middle of the day. Love is meeting you between your real job and your fun job so you can have a quick dinner together. Love is praying together before bed, then letting you steal the covers through the night.

Love is all of the little things.

Love is all of the big things.

Love is embracing a life together, making plans for the near future and the far future. It is supporting each other's aspirations and helping them reach their wildest dreams. It's letting them know you're in their corner, always.

Every night much past my bedtime and every morning much past my wake-up time, I take one look at my husband and can't help but smile.

We wonder for so long who that person will be who will love us unconditionally.

I smile because I can't believe we found a love like ours.

Happy One Year Anniversary, my love.
