First, go start this playing.
Ready?
Me too.
David and I are building a house. We are getting married. We are becoming us, and building the first step of our future, quite literally. Nail for nail, and board for board, we are watching our future come together.
Our kingdom.
A small one for now, with a garden and a wood stove. Lots of romance and hard work, and compromise. Lots of laughing at ourselves, a few swears and tears. Learning from each other, about ourselves, and about what we expect and need from one another to make our future work.
My man. The one who was so excited to use a saws all it made me smile, and the one who talked me so gracefully out of a meltdown that my family can't help but love him. And as much as sometimes I'd like to wave a wand and have this building done and live-able, this... this right here... this is part of it too. And part of us.
That I wouldn't give up for all the mansions in the world.
