As this process comes to a close I catch myself going back and reading what I have put in this blog and I have learned a few things, some important, some embarrassing, and one that means the most. Let’s start with the least of these.

Embarrassing:

1. grammar/spelling/syntax errors. Woof, I have a lot of mistakes while typing up this blog. I could take the opportunity to make something up how they represent the mistakes and bumps along the way,    But that would be a lie, truth is, I let the words flow from my brain without hesitation or thought for how to spell something or the proper version of “their”. Plenty of half thoughts and unbelievably poor attempts at following grammatical rules riddle this blog. And at least for now, that doesn’t matter, because my audience of one has not arrived. So I will be sifting through all the words to make sure it is at least legible before my bride arrives.
2. I am not as funny as I think I am. Some of my attempts at humor fall flat even for me. I tend to pride myself on funny, maybe I should rethink my dreams of stand-up comedian…

Important

1. Tough Times. Me and Jayme didn’t start dating at the best time for either of us. We have struggled and worked though many big moments and difficult circumstances throughout our relationship. But even behind the eight ball, we came out on top because we went into it together.  While I do not doubt there are more problems ahead, I know that We can weather the storm together.
2. Our world knows we are meant to be. Reading about what my parents have said, how my friends are around Jayme, and the things we have done together made me well-up with emotion. If this blog doesn’t give Jayme “the feels” it sure does for me. It has been remarkable getting to feel everything again. It is clear that our love won’t be challenged or doubted by anyone we know or have met, it is a light that will shine forever.

The Most

1. Jayme loves me. This might seem silly, of course I know she loves me, we spend all our time together, we work as a team, celebrate successes and commiserate our losses. Jayme is the ultimate partner and the love of my life because she loves me so perfectly. Actions are often said to be a manifestation of feelings, and I feel this blog is just that, it is something that has come from the love Jayme has shown me everyday since we traded songs at work over a year ago.
