<![CDATA[Reminiscing today.]]>Reminiscing today.
I ran across this photo of my husband taken around the time we first became a couple.
He was and still is a looker.
We were best of friends having both convinced ourselves that a friendship was more durable than a romance.
We danced around out of arms reach for five years.
Finally while on a business trip to San Francisco he pulled me into a hug and I was done staying out of his arms. I felt safe and loved. We figured out how durable our friends and lovers relationship really was over the last close to forty years.
Here we are.
Together still.
He still makes my heart race and we keep each other feeling safe and loved.
Some things have changed but the best of us is still the same.

we started out as friends and grew to become really close over several years. she actually caught feelings first and I was just clueless for a while 😅 but when we finally did confess, it was a bit of an awkward transition due to being long-distance
now, we're engaged and planning her immigration. we're still young, but I can only hope that we end up happy and together still like y'all ❤

& it's not even that they're beautiful. It's that he wears them so well.

& that's the kind of shine that only gets deeper with age.

He isn't just a pretty face.
He has no fear, is smart, capable, caring, generous and liberal.
Besides Summer loves him to pieces and she is an exceptional judge of character.
