You Mean The World To Me

Today we had a very honest and open talk about where we went wrong last month.  While it’s always nice to focus on all the things we do right, it’s also important to bring up the mistakes and misunderstands so we can learn from them. You are perfect, and make perfect mistakes – whereas I just make clumsy ones. I am sorry for all the pain and frustration I have caused you.  Knowing that I hurt you hurts me in ways I have never felt, and will never feel, towards anyone or anything else.  I am so sorry.

It is intimidating to know the effect our actions can have on the other. Small things I do can have a big impact on you and visa versa. But as much as the wrong actions can hurt, the right actions will keep us in Love forever. I fully plan on being in Love with you for the rest of my life. I couldn’t imagine a life any other way. Therefore, it’s vital to make the right choices, and to NEVER give up on the most amazing Love I have ever felt.

I Love you BML

Moving Forward

This past month has been difficult on our relationship. It’s been hard to pinpoint why we haven’t been our usual happy-go-lucky selves. It can range from a number of things but that is neither here nor there. Now, we need to live in the present and it’s time for both of us, as a unit, to focus on us moving forward. We know we have the potential and we know we have the love - now we just have to show each other. We have a lot on our plate the next few months and we may hit a few bumps. It’s not about the bumps (most of the time they are silly) it’s about how we get over them and more importantly that we get over them together. 

I wil be patient with our relationship and I will give as much love as I have to make us work. I want to move forward together with more effort than ever before and make new, unforgettable, happy memories together as a couple. 

I love you John Arthur Simon. 

May’s Monthly Challenge… Getting back to who we are.

It doesn’t take much time spent on here to realize that we have something special together.  While the posts are good milestone markers for memories we have made together, I have always believed that what makes us special is the time in-between.  The conversations, the laughs, the feeling of comfort and togetherness all contribute to a Love that is effortless and blissful.  It’s time to get back to that.

While we both struggle with our struggles, I truly believe that we are better at our worst than most couples are. Nonetheless, this past month has taken a toll beyond what we thought a month could. It’s time to put the past 30 (or whatever) days behind us, and focus on US moving forward. I love you with all my heart and I am beyond apologetic for not always showing you how much I love you.

A fresh month means a fresh start. This month’s challenge will help us live in the moment. By living in the moment we will be able to celebrate the things we are able to do and accomplish together, and put worrying about future endeavors on the back burner for a bit.

I Love You 

Next Stop….

This past weekend you came to Michigan/Chicago to celebrate “my birthday”.  Although you showered me with wonderful gifts, none could top the gift of having you by my side for the weekend.

Our night spent in Michigan with a group of friends was enough to suck the energy out of us for the rest of the weekend, but it was completely worth it.  You helped me push my comfort zone, while never pushing my buttons. 

Once back to Chicago time seemed to fly.  A dinner which we nearly feel asleep at, some time with the fam and it was suddenly time to go again. 

There is never enough time when we’re together. I always want one more day, because with you they are always amazing.

Next Stop DC (or hopefully NYC) 

but first we need to make a decision - NYC or CHICAGO

BIRFDAY BOY!!

I sat and wrote, for hours on end about everything I ever have been;

I talked of music, and family, and friends

and all the books I’ve ever read;

of every dollar I’ve ever spent,

and the moon, and stars, and the sunset;

Of every job I’ve ever had,

and ever crook who’s shared my bed.

I wrote of years and the life I’ve led,

and all the thoughts within my head,

but I found that everything I said

was somehow about you, instead.

 

I Love You

THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS PERFECT

Welcome to Miami!!

This past weekend spent in South Florida together was more than amazing. It was nice to spend time in the great weather, to lay on the beach, just hang outside and run our 2nd half marathon together. However, those things are always great - the best part was the amount of laughing we did and the closeness we felt to each other. 

I love you and I love the moments we spend with each other. Thanks for another great weekend and a great 1st 2013 vacation together!
