sometimes
i wonder if there will ever come a point in my relationship with evan
where we are okay with not being together when we’re together. if there
will ever be a time where we sit on opposite sides of the couch, or even
different couches all together. where we aren’t holding hands or my
legs aren’t thrown across his lap with my feet finding their way to his
hands for an hour long massage. that’s a strange thought, but i’ve
noticed just how much time we are together when we’re together. we just
enjoy being together so it’s not hard for us to curl up and watch TV. or
read books together. or talk. or be quiet and just be. if we’re both
home, we’re together. we don’t sit in different rooms and do our own
thing. we’re together. we have our own way of laying that happens every
time we curl up for a movie: me in a tiny little ball (always a ball,
always curled up) with my head on his shoulder. him with his legs draped
over mine and his arms around me. it’s the most comfortable. i wonder
if there’ll ever be a point, when we are like 70 where we get sick of
lounging together with our movies and books. i wonder if i will force
him to watch “how i met your mother” (am i seriously the only person in
the world who hates this show? please, please someone! come to my
defense!) in the other room while he refuses to let me bawl my eyes out
over grey’s anatomy and pause and rewind and quote word-for-word my
favorite scenes from the office. i know we’re still in that “newlywed”
category (TWO YEARS IN TWO WEEKS, WHAT THE WHAT WHAT) where we can still
stand each other. where evan hasn’t threatened me with my lack of
putting shoes away or my inability to have a clean kitchen table for
more than 30 seconds. where i still do his laundry even though i swear,
that man will try on a shirt, decide against it and then claim it is
dirty from that one minute that it was worn. and i still do his laundry
and he still throws my shoes in my closet and he still pushes all my
junk to one side of the table and we still curl up for movies and we
still love each other.
and i hope those things never change.
This is precious. Seriously. And I love the picture. I love that you guys can't stop snuggling and just eat up your quiet time at home together. It's the best :]
ReplyDeletePeople told me marriage would get to the point where you can't stand each other . . . haven't hit that point yet. Arguements and quirks that drive me bonkers? Sure. But that doesn't mean you don't want forever. And that final line right there ^^^^^ Love it. Beautiful.
Thanks miss! I know we haven't hit that point yet either! There are definitely those quirks that can be annoying and frustrating but they pass and I'd rather have quirks like too many dirty clothes than other problems, you know? I love YOUR line. "that doesn't mean that you don't want forever." A. MEN.
DeleteAww! You cuddle monsters! How sweet are you guys? Happy almost anniversary!

Thanks lovely lady! It's happening so fast! Where does time go?!
DeleteI LOVE THIS. PRAISE GOD FOR A WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE!!! I feel like I can learn so much from you, sweet wifey. I love you alot Laris. ALSO, why haven't we talked much this week?! WHAT THE EFF? I miss you.
ReplyDeleteAw. I love that you just called me "laris" because I forgot about it and just remembered and loved it. <3 I miss you. We're weird this week. Kinda, yeah. I hope I can be an encouragement to you in your marriage. <3 and truth, so, so thankful for our marriage and friendship and relationship. God kinda planned that one out perfectly.
DeleteThis is such an endearing and sweet post. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think your relationship will change, and I'm hoping that it won't.
Wade & I's relationship hasn't changed at all. We're still just as affectionate as were 6 years ago.
Aww. So sweet! And good news! Get back to me in another 6?
DeleteI can't tell you enough how much I love this. Sweetest couple ever. I'm going to say that it sounds like that time won't ever come. :)
ReplyDeleteAw. Thank you so much friend. I sure hope not.
Deletethis post just made me so happy! Thank you for being so honest through your blogging :) Btw, I cry every greys anatomy episode. haha
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet. Thank you. =] I think you probably have no soul if that show doesn't make you cry. Hahaha
DeleteAww :) We celebrate our second anniversary the first week of August and I wonder some of these things, too. Although we DO spend some time away from each other when we're together (he loves his nerdy computer games and I love Law & Order SVU), I always wonder if there will be a point when I stop counting down the minutes until he gets home from work or when I don't want to wake him up first thing in the morning on the weekends so we can maximize hang out time :) Hope not!
ReplyDeleteEvan is forced to watch law and order with me. Or sometimes we just watch our shows/games on our own time. But yes to the maximizing hangout time! For reals.
DeleteHappy two years in a few weeks lady! Can you believe it?!
This is such a sweet post! Love your honesty and your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3
Delete"forever can never be long enough for me, to feel like i’ve had long enough with you…"
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is so, so beautiful. The entire post. It made me cry, that's how beautiful it was. This really, really hits close to home, in the best way possible.
You're wonderful, and your relationship is absolutely inspiring. Thank you SO much for sharing this!
P.S. I don't like How I Met Your Mother either. Unfunny! I've met others that agree, so we aren't alone! ha.
I want to take credit for that so bad, but it's "marry me" by train. Such a perfect song. Even though it is overused. ;]
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you don't like himym! Yay! I always feel like the ONLY person. Good to know I am not alone! ;]
And, seriously thank you. Sweetest comment ever. <3
Such a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteJust one thing: WHY DON'T YOU LIKE HIMYM?!?!
sad.face.
I mean, thats okay, we can still have our differences and be friends.
But yeah. One of my all time faves.
:]
NOT YOU, TOO?! okay. it's funny. but i just.....i hate the laugh track. i just prefer the office and modern family and parks and rec and arrested development. but barney is pretty great, i will admit it.
Deletehaha. As long as you admit that.
DeleteArrested Development is my all time favorite.. so we're okay. ;]
this is a beautiful post. :) with two kids, it's harder for me and my husband to be together like that all the time. but i definitely savor the moments that we actually get to be tangled up.
