The Celebration Continues: 131 Months of Love!

 

Yesterday marked 131 months of marriage for us, and it blows my mind that in one month, we will hit another year marker!

            This month’s celebration was on the low-key side, but it was no less special in my soul. It was a work day, of course, so we spent the bulk of it apart, but we checked in throughout the day to celebrate wins here and there and just to say I love you. (Can’t say it too often!)

            I actually did receive a nod at work for winning a monthly competition on my team. While attention makes me squirm, I was excited that I’d done so well this month!

            When Ryan came home, we had a Zoom meeting to attend together, so we did that, and then he took Lexi for a walk while I cooked dinner. Divide and conquer for the win!

            Dinner was YUMMY, and we settled in to watch our current binge-session of a behind-the-scenes-of-cruise-ships documentary.

            Like I said, it was a simple day, with nothing extraordinary in terms of special meals or extravagant dates. But we were together as much as possible, and when we weren’t together, we still checked in.

            It has been very much on my mind lately that I love this comfortable place we have found in our relationship. It’s the kind of comfort that only comes with time and shared experiences, and I am thrilled that we are far enough into our life together to be at this place.

            Every day with Ryan – whether routine or extraordinary – brings my heart much comfort and joy. I’m glad for every one of these 131 months, and I’m excited to look ahead to the next 131…and then some!

            I love you, Ryan! Happy monthiversary!
