I always wanted to mean something to the world
And even though people told me I did, it wasn’t enough.
Then I met you.
You became my world and I meant something to you.
That has been more than enough for me.
Life hasn’t been the same since me became we
And I would not change it for anything.
It’s the craziest phenomena to be undeniably someone else’s favorite person in the world.
Even parents can’t say that about you (unless they’re single and you’re the only child which isn’t the case for either of us).
So here we are, toiling every day to be and build a better family–
Creating something where nothing existed while simultaneously extending the legacy of life created by those before us. Thus far it is every bit as beautiful, magical, difficult, mundane, and adventurous as people told us it would be yet we never could have fully known until we lived it for ourselves. For all of that, I am grateful. These last 5 months have been some of the best 5 months of my life and I can’t say thank you enough for all of it. Some nights we laugh so hard we cry, other nights we turn each other’s cries into laughter, but every night it’s you and me.
And today isn’t an anniversary or anything particular, it’s just another Saturday morning while you’re at the gym and I’m finally creating some time for myself to write. Of course I wanted to write about marriage, the thing God has used in more ways than I ever imagined to bring forth immense growth in our ability to bare more of the fruit of the spirit and a sense of meaning. And I wouldn’t be here without you. I love you with my whole heart Lucas Maas.
