For our first anniversary we went to Cheesecake Factory, and the second year we bought each other gifts (he got a leather coat, I got a sapphire set of jewelery). Those were wonderful and amazing anniversaries but since then we've come to realize that our relationship doesn't need to be defined by material things. I love Jonathan for just being there when I'm grouchy and looking like a swamp creature in the mornings and feeling like a hippo throughout the day. I love him for cooking dinner most nights and on the nights when I cook, telling me through a forced grin that it tastes good. I love him for working hard all day long, then coming home and playing with Talmage until he's completely worn out. And I love him for taking me to Dairy Queen to get blizzards whenever I please. He is such a great husband :D
In the car this morning, we listened to our song. It is called "23" by Jimmy Eat World. Before we met each other, J.E.W was both our favorite band in the world. We both knew every song by heart. We had listened to every song together on our dates and sung them out loud, somehow skipping one certain song. Two weeks after meeting in person (we had written as strangers during his mission), everything happened kinda fast and I blurted out that I was falling in love with him. He said nothing back. Completely embarrassed, I cried myself to sleep that night, thinking "There goes the one person I thought I could be happy with." As he drove home that night to Rexburg, he listened to the song "23", the one we had never really played before. The Spirit had always spoken to him through the power of music and on this night it was with that song. He knew that he loved me and could never love anyone else. The next day he told me that he wanted to marry me. I was completely shocked. Ever since then our love story has unfolded into what it is today- pure happiness! We listen to the song to remind ourselves that how we felt then is even greater now. Happy three years, indeed. :]
"23"
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
