in a few months, we'd fall in love and plan our lives together..

i was going through some old pictures tonight 

and found this old one of us.

 it's one of the first pictures we took together.
 

and oh the memories it brings back.

 

 

this was taken before we were husband and wife.

before we were engaged.

before we exchanged "i love you's".

before i was even calling him my boyfriend.

 

so many things were just about to happen...

which is why i love it. 

 

we didn't know anything about our little future together.

about what we'd go through together and learn.

or about the little bumps and hiccups we'd find along the way...

how they would shape us individually and as a couple.

how they would eventually make our love stronger 

and bring greater happiness into our lives.

 

we could only dream of it, and hope for it.

we don't have a perfect marriage but i'd have to say 

it's incredibly close to what i imagined it would be. 

 

but anyway...

i just love that we didn't know any of this back then 

sweaty from the dancing, we snuggled up

and smiled for the camera...

i love you, pumpkin.
