When Gray and I were heading to Meridian the other day, he was watching Curious George on the little portable DVD player and I was listening to the radio & singing along. A song by Toad the Wet Sprocket came on-"walk on the ocean"-and it totally reminded me of Zac.
I'm not sure why because I don't know that we've ever had any memory with that song together, but I just started thinking of him & of past summer-times together & about the fact that I get to be with him forever...
And I felt all fluttery inside.
Like really giddy.
Isn't that funny?
Of course I think of Zac a lot during the day and we often talk on the phone to check in with each other...but because my days are often filled with kids/work/church/friends/cleaning/cooking, etc., a lot of times the thoughts of him fall into a more comfortable category. He's a constant, a strength, and I love him & that's not changing.
But the way I felt when that song sparked some memory or feeling was more along the lines of those first dating thoughts & feelings.
You know the kind-when you absolutely think you'll die if you're not with that person & you want to be talking & touching any chance you get? When you can't think about anything else & the other things & people in your life take second place next to the person you'd much rather be with.
Yep, that's how I felt.
I think I actually shivered a little bit in the car.
And it was really nice.
And it made me realize {again} how much I love the hottie I married.
And I called him right afterward and told him how much.
Grateful for the feelings & giddiness that helped us start falling in love 8 years ago this month & so very thankful that the love just keeps growing...and that the spark is still there with the comfort.
Love you babe.

I loved this post. It was so cute. You and Zac are a great couple. Tonight Kyle was out of town, so the kids and I watched "High School Musical 3" and I had some of those same feelings. I think we get so use to being with our husbands all of the time that we forget what that young love feeling was like. It's nice to have the reminder occassionally.
I LOVED all of the recent pictures you've posted. Your little guys are just too stinking cute! You look beautiful as well.
You definitely have a good one. I have always respected your marriage and friendship you have with each other. Glad the excitment is still there. Love ya!
P.S. I agree with Tiffany-how come I can't look that cute every day?
Can you believe how fast the time is going? And how many more wonderful years and then eternity we get! :) I am so grateful you have that feeling with Zac! I am so grateful how happy you two are! You deserve it!!
