marry my soulmate

just wanted to change the goal. I have my soulmate and we’ll be getting married soon. So I think it would be more fun to list all the things that make me want to marry him, as well as all the things I love about the rest of my people.

Tris and I had a big fight the other night. I was leaving for work just as he was going to bed and we were both tired and cranky. I really can’t remember how the argument started but it got pretty loud at one point. Eventually we called truce but I was still a little mad. The next day he stopped after work and got a card to apologize. Then we sat and talked about it until we sorted everything out. I love the way we never let anything go. Anytime we have a problem we talk it out and resolve it, even if it takes a day or two. It’s so much better than my previous system of keeping things to myself and building resentment.

Tristan is so wonderful! He works outside all day in the 110’ heat and still makes time when he gets home to play catch with the kids and help me with the baby. And he always asks about my day and lets me know that he cares. He says we have to make it a priority to connect every day, even when we’re stressed out or mad at each other. And he’s good-looking too! How did I get so lucky?

I don’t know if I really believe in “soulmates.” I do know that I have never been this happy before. We just fit so well. We’ve been together almost two years and I still get weak in the knees sometimes when I think about him. We are totally in sync when it comes to the important things like faith and parenting. We’ve seen each other at our best and worst. We’ve been through some pretty difficult times and managed to grow closer because of it. I don’t know if he’s my “soulmate” but he’s my best friend and my partner and someday, I hope he’ll be my husband.
