Hands Together



I was just thinking about our 1 year anniversary to Niagara Falls today. I was flipping through some pictures and thought I'd finally get around to trying to fix some of my beginner photography errors in those pictures. And it hit me like a tun of bricks...


I just wanted to get away with Matt again. I couldn't help but smile as I flipped through the pictures. That was a great trip. But the most fun I had in that trip was just walking beside Matt as we explored the area. It was the walking next to him as we experienced things together for the first time that I wanted and am left wanting after flipping through those memories.


We do life together well, I must say. Yes, we have our hiccups like all do, but we find our enjoyment in doing life together (which is a good thing right, since we're stuck with each other for the rest of our lives). But there is just something about Matt that makes me want him to myself here and there. I love his character. I love to talk to him. And I really just love sitting next to him or walking next to him - no words have to be expressed. This may seem gooshy and silly since I am a "grown woman" and should love and like my husband. But I still enjoy the continually newfound revelation that Matt is my best friend and my true love.


As life takes us where God directs, I am finding that my heart holds greater and greater depths of love for Matt. Each passing day I come to realise that I love him more today than I did yesterday and all the more today do I want to just walk beside him - even stronger is the desire today than yesterday.


And so in that same flood of emotion I find myself just wanting to get away with Matt, away from the distraction and noise - just to be with him... and see ... and experience ... life.


We don't have to go far or spend a bunch of money, it's the quality time that speaks to my heart.



I just love holding his hand and doing life together...
