I Will Carry You Home

I’m having an insanely hard time of pulling myself away from the weekend.
Saturday was the day Joshua and I met at an Augustana concert one year prior. It’s hard to understand that it really has been one year since I poked him every time I walked back into the crowd, called him a model or pretended he was my boyfriend to avoid some creeps there.  Joshua wrote me a beautiful letter and gave it to me on Saturday. In it he mentioned different moments from that night. I too, can’t believe but am ever thankful that our weird but sweet meeting would find us together one year later. In about a month we’ll celebrate our one year of officially being together.

It’s really hard to put into words what he and this relationship mean to me. We’ve remained together even when hard times have happened. We’ve chosen to love even when it was hard, even when we didn’t want to. We’ve learned about each other, our different beliefs, our pasts and our hopes for a future together. I’m completely blessed to have such a good, true and loving man decided to love me and to love me so completely.

My family loves Joshua (my brother actually texted me Sunday and asked if Josh got any ideas from the wedding ) and his family has much of the same feelings. I’ve never felt more complete or more loved.

I’m very excited about every day together, for the rest of the summer, the rest of the year and for as long as God keeps us together.
I love you Joshua.  None of these words are enough, but you know and understand better than any words I have.
