Come on, you all know the song! At the beginning of this journey (the living together and in a totally different city), we had no idea what would happen. We had never lived together before, and little did we know that we didn't really know what to expect. Up until that point in our lives we had obviously spent most of our time living with our parents. Sooo... no grocery shopping, no decorating, and no question as to our lifestyle choices. As you start this process of living together you learn those weird things about people. For example, Tom's family puts the syrup in the fridge. My family keeps it in the pantry. Every time I go to grab the syrup, it's not there. Sure enough I find it in the fridge. Then I have to put cold syrup on my pancakes. Who wants cold syrup on their pancakes? My family would always go out for ice cream, whether it was after softball games, or just because mom & I had a hankering for some yummy coldness. This is something Tom was unfamiliar with (or at least not thrilled and thought of it as a waste of money), but this summer I have turned him onto ice cream parlors and now we are lovers of ice cream parlors. Aren't they ah-mazing? haha. Anyways, this is not about ice cream. This is about how Nine-ish months ago I thought I was as satisfied with our relationship as I was going to get. I did not think I could have been happier. I was soooooo happy. Now here we are... nine-ish months later and I can say that I am utterly amazed that I get to spend the rest of my life with Tom. He is truly a great man, and will be an amazing husband, and will one day be a great father. God could not have blessed me with a greater man. And this realization makes me so thrilled because I am so looking forward to the next time I have this realization. I hope every person gets to feel this way, at least once, and hopefully always.
Who knew you could learn so much about someone just from living with them. :)
Love,
Lauren
