The previously post was intentionally vague as I was on the verge of doing something that is ultimately one of the most important and meaningful things I have ever done.

You know how people always tell you that you’ll just know when you meet the one?  All these crazy fantasies of a soul mate and a moment in your head when you realize you have met them – things that some people believe in and some don’t.  I can say without a doubt I didn’t believe in it, not fully, until I met her.  And then it was like the universe began to make sense in a way that I can scarcely understand.  I began to feel this thing….this undeniable force inside me, a sense that this was the plan, this was always the plan and this was the person – this was the person all along.  I was just finally seeing her face.

Maybe it is a crazy notion, this concept of one person you are meant to be with – and it’s certainly never perfect, even if it is true.

Commitment is hard work, they warn.  Well.  Of course.  Of course it is.  Nothing in this life that is simple and easy all of the time is really ever worth anything because it loses its weight.  It is those things, those times where you are ready to quit and throw in the towel because it seems impossible when you feel how powerful it is – more powerful than any wall, any barrier, any rough time.

I have zero doubt, zero misgivings or second thoughts.   I know very little about what my life will become.  Except this.  This I know.  And so I slid a ring on her finger and asked her to be mine forever.

And she said yes.

This kind of love is what I dreamed about
Yeah, it fills me up
It leaves no doubt
This kind of love it’s why I’m standing here
It’s something that we can share
I can’t get enough of this kind of love

This kind of hope is what I try to find
And now I can’t deny I believe
This kind of faith is so unshakeable
It’s unmistakeable
It’s bigger than me
