#year three

“In a secret fold of the French Riviera, nestled between Marseilles and the Italian border, a rose-colored building rose from a skirt of dancing palms. At its foot sat a white slipper of beach, and though it was a beautiful spot, the neighbors often found themselves looking over it, or around it, and were incapable of holding the place in their minds for long. ”

And if I didn't have you as my guide, I'd still be wandering lost in Sinai or down by the tracks

Did we make it all the way to year three? It feels surreal that I'm here: I'm finishing soon. I've been matched with my thesis advisor and encouraged to turn my thesis statement towards a more acute, medieval event, and I'm hopeful for the finished project and for the doing as well. Aside from the thesis courses, I'll be retaking Medieval Church History starting next month and retaking The Protestant Reformation in the summer, both of which I dropped out of shear laziness (trademark). I've been attending some fun concerts, spending time with friends, and I've begun my run season again (earlier this year than last). I want to focus on instilling healthier eating and exercise habits that last me the entire year and not just the colder months (when running outdoors is applicable). I guess I've given some thought to what post-graduation holds for me, but I've found myself making a strong contrast to my former years- I have almost zero desire to think about anything other than today.

three

Each year since the first has been an adventure. Each year has been full of crazy. And each year I fall deeper in love with you. I am so excited that this will be the last year we truly celebrate our dating anniversary. I'm sure I will still make a huge deal as each year passes (because that is just who I am) but our next anniversary, you'll be my husband.

The more I think about that moment, I wish we could go get married tomorrow. I don't care about the wedding, I don't care about the dress, I don't care about any of it (okay, I care about the dress a little) -- I just want the marriage, I just want the promise of you forever. The idea of you even putting up with me for the last three years is beyond insane to me but loving you has been my absolute favorite thing that I could ever dream of spending my life doing and it is an absolute dream come true having you feel the same way about me.

As we begin our third year together with a very talkative two year old and six year old with a strangely quiet eight year old... our number one goal, as it has been for the last year, is to get our house. It seems more obtainable this year than it has in years past so I hope we will be in one before we begin our fourth year together. I continuously hope and pray the opportunity will fall in our lap so maybe we will get lucky this year (a girl can dream).

Loving you has been the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. Here's to forever with you, my love. 225 days until I get to take your last name.
