Any excuse to stay in with you

Today is such a dreary, miserable day outside. If you were here with me I would suggest that we start a fire, cuddle up in blankets and watch romantic comedies together. I've never really been a big fan of the rain (thank the Lord it rains less in Sequim than the rest of western Washington!) but I do enjoy it under the right circumstances.

There's something romantic about holing up inside when it's miserable outside and using it as an excuse to spend all day kissing and cuddling. I hope we have lots and lots of romantic rainy days!

Would you honor me with a dance?

Hi Honey,

I cannot believe that May is almost over! I am more and more excited to meet you with each passing day. So, I was thinking the other day, I'd really like to learn how to ballroom dance. Do you dance? I know that guys can be finicky about dancing. Anyway, I'm hoping that you will learn how to do it with me. I think it will be fun and something just for us. Since you aren't reading this until after we're already married...did I mention that I decided to give it to you as a wedding gift? I've written so many posts at this point that I apologize if I repeat things. I have a tendency at this point to repeat my thoughts in reference to you. I mean, what do you expect given that I haven't met you yet?

So, the point I was making is that I'm not sure how dancing at our wedding will be. I'm hoping that we can start dancing lessons while we're dating. I think it would be really fun to show our stuff at our wedding reception. I went to a wedding and reception the other day with Mom and Haleigh. The couple that got married only knew each other for a few months (literally like 3 months) and decided to get married. Everyone thought they were crazy but they truly appear to be very happy. I suppose when you know, you know. I have a feeling that's how it will be for us too. Anyway...I'm getting off topic here. The couple that wed had met dancing. So, many of the people they had at their reception knew how to dance. Haleigh and I were out there doing our thing which was nothing "proper" in the world of dance I assure you but we were having fun anyway.

I'm sure I haven't mentioned this before but Peder's dad is a dancer. Well, he was at the reception. It was nice that things weren't that awkward and he even came and sat by me for a bit and talked. So, I'm sitting by the dance floor and he comes and requests a dance from me. I was petrified! It actually turned out pretty well. Of course I didn't know what I was doing but being the woman I was able to just follow him. It was actually pretty fun.

Okay, enough about that. I just wanted to tell you that I hope we can dance through life together =-) Of course, if you really really don't want to, that's ok. I'm just hoping that you do want to.

XOXO
That's all for now my Sweet.

Wanna Play?

I was playing with Haleigh yesterday, wrestling around through the house and I realized how much I like to be playful. I started wondering if you're a playful person. I do hope so. Now that you're reading this I want you to do something...at some point between now and the next few days or so I want you to do something playful with me. Of course, at this point I have no idea what our relationship is like so maybe this will be a normal thing but you can tell me afterward that it was because you read this post. Do something like start an indoor water fight with me, or a food fight, or tell me you want to bake a cake together and then smear frosting on my nose or something like that.

Hopefully I'll react well to it. I'm sure you'll know me well enough to know when a good time will be. I look forward to playing with you =-) I think that life is meant to experience and have fun with. Having a spouse to me means sharing those moments with each other. I want us to have a happy and fun-filled life together. Please do me a favor, do us a favor and don't ever let me forget that I said this. So many times couples lose sight of the heart of their marriage and lose themselves and their relationship. It's sooooo important to me that this does not happen to us...ever!

I love you, My Favorite Playmate =-D
