Songs of Love

So my man Eben and I have quite the relationship! Below are the songs that, together, comprise the love we share and will always share! Laugh and enjoy!

So we didn't have an instant connection but we'd both had those high school heartaches. Even though I had the hots for his roommates, we still asked the same question out of life: "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?"

Then I started dating his roomate, Josh, while Eben worshipped me from afar and I knew that he wished that he had "Josh's Girl." After the big, bad break-up with the roommate I was a little hesitant, but he wooed me and convinced me, "Love lifts us up where we belong."

We had to break the friendship zone because he'd been "My Best Friend," for so long! So we started dating and at first we hid it from people, but eventually everyone could tell that we were in love. It just kind of happened. We didn't know what to expect but all of the sudden we were "Accidentally in Love," and it was a happy accident.

Then of course, we have to have some drama, because that's what life is all about. The best songs to sum this up would have to be a kind of montage of...me having "issues," some "Trust" stuff, and not being able to just be "us." We pulled it together but when hard times hit months and months later we tried to be apart and date other people, which was weird. But at the same time we always kind of ended up back together in one way or another.

Eben hated the guy I was dating, I know he thought, "Is she really going out with him?" Although, I didn't want anyone else getting their hands on him either. He was mine!
So eventually we gave up and gave in and got it back together for real.

On our second Valentine's Day we found our official song, "I Will Follow You Into The Dark." We were inseparable and we even ended up moving in together. That was quite the adjustment but like everything else in this life, we made it work.

I got the opportunity to study abroad. It was tough for me, but it was an opportunity I had to take. I had to suck it up even though I wanted to cry! I knew he hated that I was "So Far Away."

When I came back it was like I'd never been away. We talked all the time when I was gone and picked up right where we left off. We saw the Silver Lining in it all. It wasn't all happyness, champagne and roses though. We still had a lot of drama all around us and I was a mess after being gone. I missed my friends so much.

Things kept on swinging, and life kept on happening. Through it all, we stuck together. When my grandma died, he was there for me. I was the The Luckiest. I still am! When my mom was sick, he was supportive and patient. When life, kicked my ass, he was always there to help me back up. He's definitely a Well-respected man. It became pretty clear, despite any bad times, the fights and the drama that My Life Would Suck Without him.

We lost some great people in the midst of putting ourselves back together, but we all had the Time of Our Life and as sad as it is to say it was Good Riddance. So on St. Patrick's Day in 2009, after nearly 5 years of being together through it all, Eben asked and I said yes! I knew that He and I would be amazing together forever.

We still have times where we drive each other crazy but overall, I think we love each other Faithfully, we keep the Lovin, Touchin and Squeezing, live life Anyway we Want It, and won't Stop Believing in each other and the love we have!
