I’m there

You know when your at that point in the relationship, when all the butterfly’s are gone, the excitement has been traded for the mundane, and date night has long given way to Saturday morning breakfast’s with the family.

Ya, I’m there.

There is something so exciting about the beginning of a relationship. All the butterfly’s, the long, meaningful talks about your dreams and desires, looking deep into eyes, into souls, feeling a connection being made. I remember the first time Dan held my hand, the feeling that ran from my finger tips all the way down to my toes, our first kiss, I wanted to savor forever.

All those things and more are the foundation to our relationship. So what happens when the butterfly’s fly away, meaningful conversations are replaced with quick phone calls throughout the day, and the only feeling that comes with holding hands is that of irritating sweat? Well if you are lucky enough or blessed enough (whatever way you want to see it), the mundane day to day is what strengthens the relationship.

Though butterfly’s and excitement have long died down, there is a much deeper and more meaningful connection. When I look into his eyes there is great strength and comfort in knowing that we have a past and a future. That he is here for good despite the sweaty hands, oh wait I’m the one who gets irritated by that, knowing that he knows ALL my flaws and shortcomings and is still here every morning, every day and every night. And those quick phone calls throughout the day are what makes my day and what builds our marriage stronger.

I would trade those fresh butterfly’s for the comfort and strength of being in Dans arms any day!

So ya, I’m there and I’m loving it..
