Jayme’s love for me is strong. I don’t mean just strong like she will help me when I am down, she won’t be tempted by any good looking guy (even Josh Dummel… I hope). I mean she loves me in a way that shows me that the words “Does she really love me?” don’t even exist. Today for me was hard, I dropped a half cup of mayo all over my pants,  my cookies in the vending machine got stuck and I was feeling kind of miserable about my lack of job prospects. I was in a downward spiral, a real “feel bad for me” type of mood.

Most people would scold the other person, make them feel even smaller then they did, but not my Jayme. The strength of her love endures the whining and complaining I do and just continues to support and encourage me with the purest form of caring. While I know the things I explained are not life altering or devastating, but to me, at that time, they were. I was able to lean on my will-be-wife and find the strength I needed in that moment. So for that, I am beyond grateful for.

But she is also there in the good times too, like this past weekend where we got to spend some much needed alone time together. We watched my nephew for the evening on Friday and went to bed early before getting up on Saturday to spend the day galavanting around downtown Minneapolis before going to the Twins’ game. Do you want to know my favorite part? well I have two. The first was grabbing lunch and drinks at the 508 Bar. That is where we had our first kiss. It was such a real and honest moment. We both gushed so much about how we both knew we had found our soulmates. We cried happy tears, talked about our future together and agreed to come back as often as we can to reminisce about that wonderful evening we had our last first kiss.

The Second was after the game, back at home. We opened all the windows in our tiny apartment and napped with the breeze blowing in. The sounds of the trees swaying put us to sleep. It was so perfect of a moment with her lying on my chest, I could have lived in that moment forever and never missed anything else.

She is my life and the rest of the world is just background noise.
