Our world is HUGE. there are Billions of people, Millions of towns and cities, Hundreds of countries, Remote mountain peaks, deep oceans, frozen tundras, Mega cities casting shadows on the land. There is a lot of everything. and if you think about how small our little planet is throughout the galaxy and known universe, really puts life in perspective. I think Carl Sagan said it best here.

For me, at least right now, one line really sticks out in his speech. “Every young couple in love”. I doubt that was a surprise when looking at the reason for this blog. Those few words are meant to encompass what it means to love and have love. What defines us in life can be many things, how we are remembered by our families and maybe the world can be chalked up to a few moments in time. Maybe it is a great business we created, a beautiful painting, A rebuilt home, sports accolades. In my short time I have accomplished many things, things I am proud of, but there is only one that I want to be remembered for. I want that when my name is thought of by others that the one thing they recount is that, every day, with every breath, he loved Jayme with all his heart, body, and soul. That all he had was hers and all he did was done with her in mind.
I think about people I know, those who fit the mold of “in love” but for all of them, I feel the tiniest bit of sadness, because my reality tells me that Jayme, the Angel who I call mine, is the most amazing woman that has, or ever will, set foot on that pale blue dot. I know that might sound short sighted being that I have met so few of the 4 billion woman currently walking around this earth. But, to me, that shows the purity and utter amazement that emanates from her glowing smile, brilliant blue eyes, and her graceful soul.
So all I want in this big world is a little life with Jayme, my future Mrs, because, to me, you are the world.
