I am loving not being in school for the first Fall in my life since I was five. I absolutely love this season. Especially for the cooler air that finally decided to show up today.
Fall Time = College Football We went to the first BYU Football Game against Houston on 9/11. Killed it. Also, the memorial for 9/11 was BEAUTIFUL and I cried a bit. College football = Aaron's favorite He's converted me, partially because he loves going to and watching games so much. How can I not fall in love with something my husband gets so excited about? |
Philosophical side note: Something important I've been learning in marriage. We have some pretty different interests. We do have things we both love to do, but they aren't things that defined us as individuals before marriage. Or at least we often love things in a different way. He really does complete me. :) The important thing is we honestly love being with each other. Talking, walking, snuggling, laughing, inside, outside, eating, planning the future, etc. What I've had to learn is that we both have to learn to love those activities that defined the other person as an individual. I also have to keep doing the things I love and that make me feel like Lauresa. |
For example, I really do enjoy football now and this guy actually took me to a musical last week for my birthday. If I refused to watch football because it wasn't my first choice, and if he refused to entertain the thought of spending our fun money on a musical, we would both be left half-filled, denying a part of our individuality as individuals. On top of that, we would both miss out on learning to love something new purely because the person we love loves it.
Love,
Lauresa
