This Time is Ours


There are a few things I desire. One of the greatest of these is to marry Ross Slough. Yes, it's true that we're just young and in love but our "young love" is stronger and deeper than even I can comprehend. It's so real.

I just got home from a 3-day stay in Stillwater with him and something really cool happened. When we were laying together, the thought of marrying him was running in circles in my head until I caught myself. I always think about how great and wonderful the future will be and forget how incredible the moment is at the time. But in that moment I was reminded that I am already spending the rest of my life with him. Of course the bond of marriage completes a romantic relationship, but our life together started three years ago when we first met. We don't need a wedding to begin our journey together. It's already begun. Maybe this seemed cooler in my head, but I just thought it was interesting that I was looking past something that was sitting right in front of me. My heart was at peace, and I couldn't help but be joyful and thankful.

Overall, the three days were amazing. I love being able to laugh with Ross. He is such a beautiful person and the love given through him is infectious. I hate being over 200 miles away from you, Slough, but I just remind myself how short the distance between our hearts is. I will love you everyday, best friend.
