I love you's

I love the I love you's Matt and I exchange between text messages, phone calls, emails, cooking together, snuggling on the couch, and our walks with Ellie.

OK, I know. You can stop gagging now.

My heart is just so happy these days. A happiness that makes your heart race and your cheeks hurt from smiling so much is the best kind of happiness. It's because of love. If you haven't experienced love...true love, that is what you have to look forward to. When you can't stop thinking about the other person, you smile so much people wonder what you're up to, and your heart smiles (you didn't know it could do that?). Love is when you are able to forget all the hurt you've experienced and let go of the past.

Every life event serves a purpose. God leads us to where we are supposed to be. While I have been hurt in the past, I remember, If God brings me to it, He will bring me through it. When I thought I wouldn't survive, I did...and met someone who loves me for me...unconditionally.

I never take the I love you's we share for granted. Each one is precious. My grandma who has been married to my grandpa for nearly 50 years shared their secret.....never say goodbye without saying I love you and always kiss each other like you mean it (no 2 second peck as you rush out the door). A meaningful kiss is important and should be cherished in a marriage.
