To escape the snow...
To see my husband on Valentine's Day...
Yes, this trip was much needed.
Love. You. Forever.
Found this. it's one of the best things I have read in a while. simple, awesome, us.
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
We stayed at my friend's house and made dinner, drank wine, laughed, took silly pictures, listened to cheesy love songs, and most importantly. . . we were together. People ask me constantly, "when will you see him again?" or "that must be so hard, how do you do it" well, there's no describing what it is. it just happens, like roots that "grow together underground". Nothing phases the relationship we have. Yes, we are the idiotic couple that hold hands through the grocery store, pick out movies together in the store, talk about everything from clothes, styles, music and toilet paper. It's a matter of communication, trust and connection.
Love you Kris. Thanks for being you.
