Our First Date

WonderMan and I went on our first date last night.

We've been engaged for five years.

We tend to do things back to front, especially the things that have typically followed a pattern for centuries.

It makes for an interesting life.


We've been trying really hard to be better to each other lately.

Stop.

Think.

Listen.

Talk.

Trying to set an example for our girls so they know how to love and be loved.

With care, with respect, support... and lots of laughter.

We have come through the warzone of the last five years, and as we step on into a brighter future we're reaching out for each other. 

More than before.

More than ever.

Is this what love is?

I like it.
