Today I spent the day with my best friend. We didn't do anything big or fancy, just a late lunch at a steak house and then a late afternoon movie,but it was nice. There wasn't even much talking, and if we are being completely honest there was a teensy bit of arguing (remember, we are still living in the land of sleep deprived parenthood :), yet on the drive home from our date my heart still felt full. Moments with my husband are a gift. The beautiful ones, the boring ones, the great ones, the funny ones, the hard ones, and even the ordinary ones. All of them are a blessing. I used to forget that, and sometimes I still do. Sometimes I only want our life, our marriage, to be exciting and fun. Ordinary will not do. But the longer we are married to each other, the more I am learning that ordinary is beautiful. Because ordinary is life. It's our life. It's the unfolding of our love story on a day to day basis. It's in the way he still opens my car door. It's in the way his hand reaches for mine without even thinking. It's in the way he knows that when I say "five more minutes" (in regards to reading) he knows that he can really expect me in a half hour. It's in the way he tells me I am beautiful when I first wake up in the morning and have no make up on. It's in the way he knows how much I love Christmas, so he already got the lights out of storage to make sure that they all work. It's in the way that he makes loving plain, ordinary me, feel extraordinary. So yes, moments with my husband are a blessing, and I want to cherish each one. He is my best friend.
Ordinary no, I really don’t think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
We’re a dream come true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you
Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There’s no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Every day I live
I try my best to give
All I have to you
I thank the stars above
That we share this love me and you
Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There’s no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Ordinary no, I really don’t think so
Just a precious few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and you
