Letting it all out

Right there, at that moment, he dipped me. I knew I was in the arms of a man I would adore forever…

I’m thankful for many things. One in particular sticks out though. I’m incredibly thankful for my loving husband. With both of us home all day working photography we often get asked how we do it. Jared and I have been together every single day for the past 7 years. Well, except for that time my parents forced me on a family vacation. I was gone for 10 days. 10 agonizing days without the love of my life. We fit together perfectly. Paired like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, like a dog and his bone, like toothpaste and a tooth brush. We were made for each other. Hardly ever are we disagreeing or fighting. Jared knows my love language and I know his. We are far from a perfect marriage though. I bug him with leaving coffee cups in the office and he bugs me with farting under the covers. But we’re both willing to fight for each other and fight for love.

Late last night after the credits to our movie began to role, Flo Rida’s “Spin me right round” came on. Naturally we both started dancing to the beats. If anyone was watching us it looked more like we were having seisures. Jared reached out for my hand and asked me to dance with him. Right there in the living room. I hesitated at first with the thought someone could tooootallly be watching us right now!But let it pass. He spun me round and round, dipped me and held me close. Right at the moment, filled with fun and excitement we let it all out. We let every bad moment fly out the window with our twists and jumps. We danced together and danced like no one was watching. I hope SOMEONE saw us and saw just how much fun and love Jared and I can express with one another. And we don’t care. We’re just a bunch of goofballs and we don’t care. We’re not afraid to have fun and we’re not afraid of what people will think. But that love and playfulness will keep our marriage strong. Even in the times that stink.
