It's Good. It's Really Good.

Have you ever been in the middle of something and suddenly it occurs to you how freaking awesome it is that you're doing whatever you are doing in that moment? That you're exactly where you hoped you'd be one day?

I've been staying at Jonathan's all week while I finished up everything at my house and whatnot. I stopped at the grocery store on my way there after work yesterday to pick up a few things for dinner and as I was walking through the aisles, grabbing all the necessities for chicken Parmesan, I couldn't help but smile to myself.

It may sound silly, but I can't explain how happy I felt in that moment, just picking up groceries for dinner. Just knowing I have this wonderful man waiting at home, someone to cook for, someone to sit down at the dinner table and talk about my day with...this all means so much to me. In the years leading up to this time in my life, it wasn't elaborate dinners out or getting a fancy engagement ring I longed for, it was simple things like having a man I love call me asking when I'm going to be home. It was standing over the stove cooking pasta and having that man come up behind me and wrap his arms around me. It was me getting out of my car and walking up our driveway to the man I adore working away in the garage.

This photo has nothing to do with this post, but I couldn't not include a photo.

With all the chaos in life lately, I just want to take a minute and truly soak in these simple little things that make me overwhelmed with joy that I've got all I ever wanted out of this life.

I've got a life full of absolute joy and love with a man I absolutely cherish. It's good. It's really good.
