Hello!! Love and falling in love bombards us daily, from music to TV to magazines. But do we ever know if we are really in love? I have talked about my boyfriend, Drew, a lot and the other day (well ok really it was last week but I wasn't in the mood to blog) I thought about all the things that we have done together and gotten through together. He truly is my biggest cheerleader and I am so blessed to have him part of my life and also as my boyfriend. But really makes a good boyfriend/girlfriend or Husband/Wife??? I think it's all about balance and communication and finding out what the other really likes and doesn't like. Also somewhat knowing what the other's love language is (you can take the online quiz just Google it). So for me I really like talking and I really hate and feel unloved when people don't want to talk with me, it's just how it is. I enjoy spending one on one time with people instead of going out to a party or with a large group. I am also perfectly content with on Friday nights plopping onto the couch and watching a movie with my roommate and boyfriend and her fiance instead of hitting up a bar, but I think that comes more from I deal with people all day long and at some point I need to have my quite time also. So a little bit back to the give and take, I super love Hobby Lobby, actually that might be just as much my hobby walking through the store and getting ideas in my head, I also like having someone that will walk around with me as I walk up and down each aisle and my awesome Drew will do that with me. Yes he let's meander and walks right besides me and even helps me pick out some things just as much as anything this gives us time together and usually we are able to talk about our day or things that are on our mind without the distraction of our books and studying. And at the same point I will watch football with him even though it's really not my thing but he likes it so I do it, again to be able to spend time with him.
We have definitely had our ups and downs. We have been friends/ together for the past 5 years and I know that there is still so much to learn about each other, our loves and our hates. But this has been the first time that we have been apart for so long (almost 4 months) and even though sometimes it's really hard, I think it was probably the best thing for us. Weird thought right why would I think being away from him would be good?? Simple I know what I have, someone that is able to still cheer me up, make time for me, and encourage me just through and email is amazing and quite an accomplishment in my eye. It has also pushed me to think about the things that I want to have out of my relationship, things that I would like him to do and for him also to think about the things that he wants me to do. I am not talking about huge things, quite the opposite the small things that make being together special. The quick text in the morning to say good morning, the good luck before a test that you are way too nervous for, and the encouragement to keep going even if you have stumbled a couple of times. Love takes time to grow and mature, and there are always tons of rocks in the path but that is what makes life worth living.
Another great thing is that I have taken the time to think about the things and gifts that I want to do/make for him this year between anniversary coming up along with birthdays and Christmas I have my work cut out for me but I finally have a plan.
I hope you have a wonderful day and remember to love openly.
