the Saying is one that used to be on a shirt my Dad owned. It was purple and gold and was meant for our Minnesota Vikings. It was the idea that, no matter how the team may look, we can still win, and this year can be our year. (so side note, all of this was written days before the Teddy ACL thing, sorry for the jinx Vikings nation).

Anyways, I think that idea of belief is an important one for a relationship to have, and it is something that me and Jayme share. We believe not only in each other, but in us. The idea that that we are more then the sum of our parts. We both have strengths that are powerful defining features of us (Jayme’s serenity and kindness, My energy and excitement) but the interesting thing is, when we are able to come together and shed those personal identities and become completely one, we are an example of reliance and faith in the power of love, and that is something I would never trade.

So we believe in us and our ability to be better together, to weather storms together, but we also believe in all of that, now. Some might tell me that I should have waited to jump so headlong into this relationship, taken things slower, not opened up so much. With Jayme though, I just, I just knew. there was no “trial period” or time I didn’t believe in us. The story of us is unique to who we are as people independently, but more importantly, who we are together. So just like the Vikings and that tattered old shirt my dad has, we believe in now.

Oh and on the Vikings side of things,  we got to go to a private event at US Bank Stadium! I even taught Jayme to sing this!
