A Thousand Years

Hey! So it's probably time to blog again, seeing as the last week has been so dense and full of happiness and joy. If you've seen me recently, you're probably very aware of my current ebullience (thanks for the vocabulary Krista), and if not you're about to read about it. Dylan Wake, the boy that I am in LOVE with, is HOME and here, and I can't remember ever feeling so wonderful and optimistic about life.

Time is a funny thing my friends. Some days 2 years seems like a blink, and other days you're sure that 2 years will NEVER end. 2 months ago time was going by slower than I can ever remember, 2 weeks ago I couldn't make up my mind whether it was too fast or too slow, and right now it is flying. I can't believe I've already had 5 blissful days that were devoid of any counting down and waiting-- and yet at the same time those 5 days feel like they're all the time in the world, and it's hard to remember anything that happened before. Currently life is so exciting, and feels so right, and normal, it's hard to believe it's really been 2 whole years since I've been with this boy.

Dylan's mission was great for so many reasons, but one is that I can even more appreciate the little things he does that make my life so wonderful.  Things like sweet texts, being called a princess- and treated like one, having someone who is happy just to be near me, being told I'm loved, all these mean even more now that I know what it's like to be without them. I think Steve Perry nailed it when he sang "I get the joy of rediscovering you- I'm forever yours, faithfully."

So, maybe this all seems a little giddy and cheesy. Sorry, not sorry. But really, this boy is the best thing that's ever been mine.

Let's sing our feelings!


Point: "[a mission] cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for awhile."
