First counseling session

Today was our first marriage counseling session. It went pretty well, although we got there late (and I won't say whose fault it was. . . . . :-P). I was expecting us to be fighting afterwards or something, like a sitcom episode.

Her: You never told me you hated my mother's greens!
Me: Well if you would listen sometimes. . .

etc

But it didn't happen that way. Rev. Reynolds actually said that she thought we had a really good foundation, which would make her job a lot easier lol. I'm actually looking forward to the next one.

We've been doing lots of things to grow closer: reading books, planning this wedding, and just talking a lot more (which was hard for me. . . but i'm getting better lol).

OK that's all for now.

Happy Valentine's Day Sugar!

Start
Pure love created in the heart
Often celebrated, duplicated in the arts
Through representations that will always
fall short
of the feeling
inherent in our chest
or the rest of our anatomy
even when you mad at me,
love rays
shine through. Piercing to
the core of me
Imploring me to give you
more of me
Uncategorically
"yours-to-be," now, forever, &
historically
And to me, it's plain to see -
I always was;
you just wasn't claimin me
Now, famously, we aim to reach
levels that we can't yet see
Love infinite
as beaches' grains you see,
deeper than the rains at sea
Entrenched firmly in
our soul
we're snugly in
Its Hold
