A little bit after dinner, Luke ushered me upstairs because he had a surprise. I love surprises, and I walked up to our room with eyes closed, only to open them to find nothing. He had me "wait here" while he went downstairs for something. I sat and sat and after about 10 minutes I was getting bored enough to start putting away some of the clean clothes in the basket beside the closet! :)
He finally knocked on the door and had me close my eyes as he led me to our living room. I opened them when a familiar song greeted my ears - our first dance song! I turned around to find Luke dressed in the suit and tie he wore to our wedding. The room was dark, with a few candles strategically placed.
We danced.
I cried.
He held me and kissed my cheek.
Isn't this the kind of stuff that only happens in movies??? :)
When people ask me how I am enjoying marriage, how can I possibly describe moments like this? It's all I ever hoped for and more.
It's being called beautiful despite your frizzy morning hair and rather offensive breath.
It's sitting down for a rest after dinner, only to find that he's snuck back into the kitchen and washed all the dishes for me.
It's cheering him on and celebrating as he fights for and wins a better position at work.
It's falling asleep every night knowing that I am right where I belong.
God is so good!
<3 God IS good!!!
