From across the room, you asked me.
And I giggled. Like I always do.
You asked me that if I knew seven years ago what life would be like – two kids and a third on the way – would I have believed it…
I politely and ever so sweetly said I would have run the opposite direction and you never would have caught up with me because you were sporting a broken foot.
The truth is…I lied.
Sure…I never would have believed that I would have three kids. Especially after only 7 years of marriage.
But if I knew what life with you would be like, I never would have run.
Because I love life with you. Laughing with you. Dreaming with you. Being overwhelmed by your strength – your vision – your ideas for the world – well – I could never live without it.
Had I known then how much I would love you I might have walked down that aisle even faster.
If I’d known how you would fight through difficult circumstances and defy the odds and become an even better version of yourself – I might have said “I do” before the minister even asked.
I love you, Theodore Rutherford Paulson. (And yes, I just giggled as I typed your name…)
Thank you for loving me.
I cannot wait to see what the next seven years hold. But I do know this – as long as they are with you – I’m ready for whatever surprises life brings… (But I do selfishly hope they bring an actual honeymoon seeing as we had to cancel ours…)
