oh i am yours + you are mine.

whoaaaaa....hello mr. hancock

we were told it was going to be hard.

we were told never go to bed angry. 

we were told the money would be tight + that would cause problems.

we were told the newlywed phase would end.

we were told by those who didn't understand, that 'marriage weigh you down.'

but

we learned, it's 100% worth it.

we learned to go to bed angry because when it's 1 am + i have the ugly cry face going on...

no one is winning.

we found out how fun it is to be poor. like not have anything but a bed poor.

like have picnics on the floor every night, kind of poor. 

kissing across our blanketed floor + lighting candles, because why not, kind of poor.

like the look at your taxes + be amazed that you make so little + live so good, kind of poor.

we learned that we are past the newlywed stage, we are in the stage of knowing how awesome marriage really is. 

we are in the didn't know it got this much better stage, 

because truly + somehow, it gets better than the 'i do.'

still can't wrap my mind around that either.

we learned that there are really no words to describe the freedom that comes,

knowing you are always safe, always loved, always being thought of, always forever.

like this song says:

oh i am yours + you are mine.
