We Fell In Love in a Hopeless Place

I have heard that song many times over the last 24 hours. Every errand yesterday had the same song playing and all within an hour of each other. My friend Val was dancing to it with her nephew on Facebook. It’s a sweet song.

It got me thinking as we woke up slowly on this rainy day. I cast all my attention on my beloved. I love waking up with him because he’s a morning person too. He likes to chat and snuggle. We hold hands, slide our feet into a connected state. I have never known a guy to be so affectionate in adorable ways. I find myself shaking my head at his ex, but I am definitely not mad at her!

So he got out his calendar from a year ago as he was leaving to teach today. He had marked our first date, our first snow day, our second snow day, our first kiss. We found love in such a short time and in a time in both our lives when we wanted it so badly. A partner. A friend. Someone to wake up with. To share your coffee and your thoughts with. Someone to watch Val’s video with. Wow. I have been married twice and never had that until now. So maybe Mt. Airy isn’t a hopeless place, but I am glad I fell in love here. Even though I complain about the drive, I love the peacefulness of the house he built, his loving hands created for his beautiful family which he now shares with me. I feel blessed. Wishing you a great day and love.
