I was hiding under your porch because I love you

So I think every so often I'm entitled to an "I love love" post. Just sometimes lol

Nathan and I have been living together for about three weeks now, and to me it was kind of a test. How do we do when we don't have nights to ourselves? Will it be too much to be together all the time? Can our personalities mesh?

And, honestly, I'm so happy. Yes, there are moments when he leaves his clothes all over the floor or won't wake up till past noon and I can feel that annoyance, but otherwise I'm completely happy. I love that he's the last thing I see before I fall asleep at night and the first thing I see in the morning when I wake up. I love that he cooks dinner for me, helps me out around the house, and feeds the bunnies for me when I have to get up really early and leave.

Today we went out grocery shopping and to get some other basic things, and he surprised me with a single red rose. When I asked what it was for, he said just because I deserve it. And, to me this was the most powerful gesture of love, the first day I was going up to Lexington Universal Academy I was nervous. I wasn't sure what to expect and had never seen the school, and he knew that. So my alarm went off at 5:30am, I started getting ready and putting on my hijab, and my boyfriend who prefers to sleep till noon woke up, pulled me into his arms for a hug and a kiss and told me not to be nervous that it would be a great day and that the kids would love me.

It calmed me, at least a little, and I was so grateful that he woke up to begin with. I expected him to sleep and not even notice I had left. I adore the little things like that, they reassure me that Nathan really is the love of my life and maybe we'll have the romance of Carl and Ellie in UP. We'll

have tough times, bad things may happen, but through it all we'll love each other and make each other happy.
