Every thought, every intention, every action and achievement of your past and future is all within you in this very moment. & I’m so proud to be your side. To watch, observe, admire & love you. Thank you for every moment of happiness & profound lessons. Thank you for every laugh and every moment where time stood completely still. The celebration continues... ❤️

February 16, 2018 - We went out to celebrate Georgie’s 29th Birthday.  I had a test due that night and already put up the white flag thinking I wouldnt make it. I finished and although he was already at the restaurant, he told me to get ready and came to pick me up. What we thought was a party of 13 was, in true Georgie form, a party of 30. We sat, laughed, and ate in love.

Family.

Who’s by your side?

We typically always had the same ideologies in things. Whether it be politics, economics, or humans rights, we usually end up sharpening each other’s views above all else. After watching Black Panther, like many, we were really inspired. Although our professional focus was Wakanda like in many ways, the movie made it so much more palpable. You want to look at your partner in pride,knowing that this person by your side is mentally/emotionally fit to really push through when things get tight, challenging or scary.

50 Shades of Him

So to others, he is this serious, kind of mysterious, type of man. As people say “he just knows things” and has abilities that are almost super human. - In high school, he won a talent show and got two free tickets to prom. Guess what he did? He bent a metal rod with his neck! Yes, his neck. But little does anyone else know the many layers of my man. 

He happens to be hilarious. 

We’re sitting around chatting today and he begins to imitate me. Apparently, I, like many women, seem to take “forever” to get ready (in his opinion). I absolutely cant stop laughing because:

 A. seeing him attempt to perfect my feminine shoulder movements and hand motions while pinning my hair or putting on lotion is more than I can handle. 

B. I watch him, in between belly hugging laughter, and he’s actually doing a really good job.

Not only in his imitations of things I do but even in my thought processes. We got into discussing this hypothetical situation and he told me how I would react and honestly, I would say those exact words although I've never uttered them before. Its just interesting, thats all. Sometimes the depths of someones love is only seen through the most minute things. 

He knows me so well, its amazing. I feel blessed & loved & looked after.

One of the things I love most about us is our support system. We have so much love around us, its truly amazing. Personally, I really never realized how large my network was until our lives intertwined..& I wanted to share you with everyone.

Even when things aren’t rainbows & sunshine..

When we argue/bicker, the silence between us pierces.

It hurts.

I see your bursts of anger/frustration &, internally, my upset matches.

Aries & Cancer.

Fire & Water.

The only bridge we have between us is our faith in God. He provides us with the patience we need within ourselves first, and then with each other.

As we learn one another, we sharpen one another. We chip away at the shells we’ve acquired. Sometimes it will be difficult. Sometimes it will be painful. Sometimes it feels frustratingly senseless. But in the end, if its happening, it must happen. & in the end we know it is in Love. We must always remember it is in Love.

The Valentines Day Massacre of 2017

You were so sweet to have made us reservations at this upscale restaurant with views overlooking downtown Miami. Beautiful place, good food and wine.

We finished our meal and since we had a whole bottle of wine, of course, we had to finish it.

By the way babe, we should really accept the fact that we're kind of light weights. I'm actually nearly allergic to alcohol all together. Neither of us really ever accept it lol.

Anyway, we finished the bottle of wine then BOOM! We are downstairs outside of the restaurant unleashed onto the streets of Miami. We wait for our uber while singing Natty Dread by Bob Marley (my self declared theme song).

Of course, we briefly thought to go home but surely we didn't. We hopped around a few different places being drunk and silly. We even almost got lost at one point so I made sure that I at least sobered up a bit. But not until I make a bit of a fool of myself at the first bar we got to.**

We then walk to Blackbird and you decide to sit down on a bench, nearly sitting on top of this man and his girlfriend lol..you were uncomfortably close to them.

Eventually we get an uber and take our drunken selves home. Lol.

One of our funniest experiences.

Valentines Day weekend 2017 

 Also known as the Valentines Day Massacre. (Will be shared in another post)

This was at a party my neighbors put together that weekend which continued the massacre part. I had no business drinking again…or at all, ever, really. It all started when I tried to put my flip flops on the wrong foot and Angela forbade me from going outside after that point lol. 

 I was sick in the worst ways. SICK, with capital letters… and you took care of me. You really took care of me. I know I don’t even remember the worst of it babe. But thank you for not shaming me (too much) lol. 

 & thank you for loving me the way you do.

Our Anniversary..

To Ethan Alexander Williams,

Today marks a year of our love. A year since I recognized you as my answered prayer in the flesh.

Remember when I felt so anxious after every encounter with you? From our first time meeting at Cream and then our morning at the beach, there was an energy insisting itself upon me and my insecurities just wouldn’t allow my guards down. The walls shook & shook translating into physical anxiousness..shakey hands, insomnia and literally feeling my heart beating forcefully inside my chest. But still I knew I loved being around you. I felt so shy feeling your stares, & that sweet smile you would do. 

You were seeing me and I’ve never been truly seen before.

On that hammock I saw you, recognized and knew you. & I knew that it was all ok. We held hands walking back to my apartment and I wondered if this was going too far too quickly. & immediately I thought, if it’s honest and it’s true then move forward in that honesty and truth. That’s been my compass for life since.

It has been a beautiful year of laughter, lessons,and new experiences, all with the foundation of true unconditional love.

You are my partner, my best friend, my lover, my guide, you are my mirror of honesty. 

I overflow with gratitude to all that has guided us to be who we were at the time we met, to have met at all, & to have grown together since. I thank God for His continued presence in our love. God is love. & I’ve recognized Him as our love, itself. Every way I love you also holds my love and devotion to God. & this is why our love is outside of just ourselves. It is all things. 

& I am happy to be in this love with you. 

Happy Anniversary my darling.

My fondest memories:

Black Rock

During our short trip to CT we were able to get some fun things in. We went for a hike at Black Rock in my small town of Watertown, CT. The nature was breathtaking. The air was so fresh and crisp. Just the smell of the leaves and soil, it felt so nice to be in such a different environment from Miami or New York.

I love the feeling of being small. Being in nature has this beautiful ability to do that. Reminding us of how small we really are - literally & figuratively. I often think back to the moment when we reached the peak of our hike. Looking at the view; all of those trees and the clouds seemingly so close.

I wouldn’t want to share the wonders of this world with anyone else.

My fondest memories:

In the beginning, both of our schedules were pretty air tight. We had to be strategic as to when we would actually have time to see one another. On your busy days you’d get home usually after 10pm. 

This night, nothing out of the ordinary, you called me on your drive home. Probably about thirty minutes goes by without my noticing and theres a knock at the door. 

The first time you surprised me this way.

You just came by, with work starting early in the AM and there you were. My reaction was probably that of a little teenage girl, lol, but the effort meant everything.

Your effort doesn’t go unnoticed, my love. No matter how small.
