In love with J

Married life, for us, won’t be really much different than our unmarried lives right now–at least in a sense of place and routine. We live together and therefore enter marriage preprogrammed knowing the habits, preferences, and quirks of our future spouse.

But, our engaged-to-be-married life is a pleasant one. Recently, J has been meeting me at the train station with a grin and strong hug after work. We argue less than we used to; perhaps we are becoming more in-tune to what the other is not saying. We’re cooking more, cuddling more, and smiling more.

Yesterday, we went to Trader Joes after work with a shopping list consisting of four items. Midway through our shop, the cart’s practically full and oldies are blasting over the loud speaker. Some Motown hit comes on, and I start dancing in the peanut butter aisle, singing at a moderate volume. J smiles and shakes his head, thinking that I’m just chiming in for a chorus. However, I continue; the aisle is empty, and I know all the words.

“You’re going crazy,” he pokes me, looking around. But, he’s got a big grin on his face, and that’s all I care about.

Love is singing and dancing–in a grocery store–or maybe just being supportive of your fiancee doing that around you 🙂
