Patience is a virtue that I sometimes lack. I want everything and I want it right now. Whether it is a Vikings Super Bowl win. (this is our our year!) or something more mundane like a chipotle burrito (sooo hungry) I am one who has a hard time waiting, and this is even more true when it comes to Jayme.

See on Mondays all I want is to be home with her still, in bed, cuddling and putting the world on snooze. But I have to go to work and be far away from her. Often on Mondays I am prompted to say things like “I want to listen to Beyoncé and put a ring on it” <-actual message I sent today.  My desire to move on to what is next often over shadows the greatness of where we are. Jayme’s responses to my eagerness is simple and honest “When the time is right 🙂 “. It is not an attempt to slow my excitement or desire, but to remind me that things are great right now and that there is no reason to hope for the future when the present is already a dream.

She might be all I want, but I sometimes forget, that I already have her, and no ring or vow will change that. It is not some type of magical item that will make her love me forever, or even tomorrow, because each day we wake up, we have to choose the person next to us. Our love will last not because of our past or a future promise, but because our love exists in the present, and the rest will come when the time is right.
