six months

tomorrow marks six months until g and i get married. i never thought monthly countdowns would matter since we already "married" - that is, we already said i do to doing this life thing together. but in a way, the six month milestone feels significant.

this transitional time - this engagement, if you will - is unique to now. it's the time we live in a 400-sq-ft studio...and find joy in it. it's the time we talk about future plans - what do we want, where do we want to be? it's the time we raise chase as our baby, with no rush of producing the actual thing. it's the time we deliberate about our nuptials over burgers and beer, finalizing the details for our 8-guest affair.

although i know nothing will change after our ceremony in october, i embrace this time - these six months - as the time that it's just us, figuring things out, realizing that it's in fact possible to fall more in love with someone every day you know them.
