The most wonderful thing happened last night. Tom came home and was overcome by love for me and his life. It was so amazing to see and feel so much love radiating from him. He was hanging out with Ben and Doug, and while it is unfortunate that his joy was sparked by the misfortunes of his friends, it was delivered in a very sweet way of "I know that whatever happens, we'll be okay."I wish I could have recorded what he was saying - it felt like a dream. I have dreamt that literal conversation (you know, some super hot guy sitting on your couch bubbling over with love for you). He was so kind and heartfelt and wonderful. I loved that moment. My heart felt full.

It gave me so much confidence in our relationship to hear him say that. Not that I was on the fence or anything, but just to know that he feels it and believes it like I do makes all the difference. I only hope he can keep this feeling as we dive deeper into this thing....

I am so excited and so ready to marry him. We've really hit a stride here lately where we really just jive well together. It feels pretty perfect. Like an ideal van diagram of love. He has his life/work and I have mine and we overlap in all the right ways and show each other love, respect and trust. I really feel like I have a PARTNER in life. It's what I've always dreamed of for a marriage.
