This is going to be a small post,
but I just wanted to take a minute and talk about some of the little things in my
relationship with Shaun.
These are the very first flowers
Shaun ever gave me (July 2011). Aren't they beautiful? I'm not a huge fan of
flowers, but I LOVE lilies. They are my absolute favorite. When I saw them on
his table, I was so surprised he remembered! Although, I'm not sure why I was
so shocked, we knew everything about each other. Just the fact that he'd paid
attention (and even more, cared) meant so much more than the actual flowers
hahaha. :)
He does so many little things like
that for me every day. Not the flowers (although I do get those a lot too
haha), but the sentiment and message behind them. He always pays attention to
me, even when he works. He calls me every time he gets the chance and texts me
non-stop. When he is home, we are nearly inseparable. We stay up late talking,
we laugh over stupid things, and have loud, fake arguments in public just to
see people's reactions!
Yes, we definitely bring out the
best in each other. haha
The little things are so important to both of us. I feel
like they built the foundation of our relationship even before we were
together. Whenever we needed to talk we contacted each other. We never had to
worry about being judged or anything like that. We trusted each other with
humiliating secrets and personal issues. Neither of us had anyone who
understood us, let alone knew how to deal with us! Shaun and I have always had
an uncanny understanding of each other, and it's been such a relief to be
together.
