I want to remember the eloquence of Dillon's prayers. I always knew Dillon had a love for Christ, and a connection to His savior, but it is such a treat to hear it. Sure, Dillon and I prayed together before we married, but now there is this undeniable strength in Dillon's servanthood to God, and his leadership to me. When Dillon prays it is like God is forever present. Dillon is so tuned-in to what he is feeling and thinking and I admire the way he leads me. As simple as a meal prayer may be, it means the world to me to hold his hands before our family meal.
I want to remember Dillon's eyes. I want to remember looking into them and feeling calm, and him looking back at me with such love and care. Thinking about it now I am giddy inside. There are very few things you can be sure of in this life, but of the things I am certain - Dillon's love for me can be read by looking into his eyes. Oh boy, that man has me mesmerized beyond measure. Some people you can read their emotions by the tone of their voice, or the slouch of their shoulders, but Dillon can tell you everything you need to know with his eyes. I love being told without words or touch that he absolutely loves me - his eyes are captivating and enthralling.
I want to remember the feeling of excitement through serving my husband. Our first day back to work I jumped out of bed and got ready, and didn't care to make myself five minutes late for work if it meant baking muffins for my husband to wake up to. I made some (not so good) honey-bran muffins that morning and I was absolutely thrilled to serve Dillon. I want to remember this feeling of doing all that I can to make my red-headed soulmate smile.
There is so much more that I would absolutely love to document about this newlywed-life. Like the excitement of building our home together, and the comfort of cuddling together. Last night, for instance, Dillon and I ate dinner and sat on the couch to watch The Life of Pi - there was nothing to it, but it was more than perfect. We may not have much as we start our lives together, but one thing I have learned in the past two weeks is this: at the end of the day, as long as we have each other and God then life will be better than I can even fathom.
I love marriage.
