With You

When I am with you, I forget all my fears and worries.

When I am with you, everyone else disappears.

When I am with you, I am so happy I can hardly contain it.

When I am with you I smile a lot. Laugh a lot. Feel content a lot.

When I am with you I tickle you. You tell me not to, and I know you don't like it that I do that, but at the same time, you let me because you know it amuses me.  That shows me how you care.

When I am with you I act silly. Sillier than usual.

When I am with you I am real. The real, ungarded me. 

When I am with you, deep conversations are had.  Fluffy conversations are had.  Sad conversations are had.  Everything under the sun is discussed. 

When I am with you I sometimes get annoyed, frustrated, crabby...I don't mean to...I love you. More than anything (but Jesus).  But I'm human and I fail.  Please know I don't mean to hurt you...ever...at least not intentionally...

When I am with you I am free...in heart, mind, spirit...

When I am with you I see God's goodness...how He watched over you and I to bring us together in His own unique way...

When I am with you I feel loved. Cared for. Special. Honored. 

I love being with you.

Love,

Meg

Pathetically in Love.

So I'm pretty sure that right now, if you saw Dan and I together, you'd throw up in your mouth a little.

Yes.  We have become one of "those couples".  The ones who constantly hold hands.  Who can't stop smiling when they are together.  Who laugh a lot, and stand about 2 millimeters away from each other when standing in one place.  Who look at each other kinda "googley-eyed".  I think I'd make myself throw up if I stepped back and looked at us.  I always said I wasn't gonna be "one of those people".  Why is it that whenever I say I will never be a certain way, or do a certain thing I somehow end up doing it. 

In Junior High: "I'm never carrying a purse."  I now have like, 5 purses.  Also in Junior High: "I'm never wearing make-up or nail polish."  Yeah, I do those things.  In Grad School: "I'll never drink coffee."  I'm a total addict.  June 2012: "I'm not getting married."  May 2013: "I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!"  Ha.  Oh dear. 

So anyway, Dan and I are obnoxious, I'm sure.  And really, most times we've been together it has been like this.  We went through a rough 2 weeks before Oshkosh...I think satan was trying VERY hard to tear us apart.  But the Lord Jesus is SO FAITHFUL and He protected us.  And I believe made us stronger through this all. 

This man is my best friend.  He melts my heart.  Neither of us are perfect, but I am so excited to spend my life with him.  I have never had anyone (other than my parents) love me the way he does.  THANK YOU JESUS. 

I swear, I think other than Dan's parents, I didn't even notice all the people around us this weekend at Oshkosh.  I was too busy staring at my love. 

So yeah...go ahead.  Make fun. Tell me I'm ridiculous.  I'm fine with that. 

And BTW - it doesn't bother me the least bit...because I am ever so grateful for the gift the Lord gave me of this man in my life.  Forever I will be.  (Plus, look at him...he's just so cute...) :)

Love you Daniel,
Meg
