A Beautiful Life


When I was sitting on the plane today and listening to James Taylor, I was reminded of such a beautiful memory of when gray and I first got together. James Taylor was the first artist that we listen to on the way down from camping. Every time I hear J.T. I can hardly keep my mind from wandering into the emotions I felt as Gray held my hand that day. What's the best is that He still makes me feel that way... every time he smells my hair at the airport when we first see each other after being away, when he grabs my hand and kisses it, when he just looks at me with eyes of amazement. I love being with Him. He is more than a blessing in my life and in my heart. He makes a difference in the way that we are as a couple. He makes me want to love Jesus more. He makes me happy from the inside out especially when I am laughing till my stomach hurts. I got the chance to go see him this last week for a school break. Allegiant Air is my friend right now, God knew that where He placed us both is exactly where we need to be and also it is a blessing that there are cheap flights going from Las vegas to Fort Collins. Hiking, coffee drinking, eating, mini golfing, being, and enjoying life was what was on the agenda. We had such a nice time.
I Cant let this romantic thing go.... so Today, Sunday, we went to the Wild Boar Coffee House to grab coffee and a breakfast treat. We were sitting at this table in the front because all the other tables were taken in the area. After a little while the table behind us was vacated (note this is one of Graham's studying tables), so he casually says oh we should move. So we did. Well to my surprise Gray opened this little drawer that was on the lamp stand near the table and was looking through all these little notes. Well He came about a note in which He placed, FOR ME! It said "I Love You Brittney". Well Lets just say that I was being so strong up to this point(not my normal self for the dreaded day i am leaving him, normally I am really emotional), then I lost it. I was so overwhelmed with the love that I felt for him that tears of joy and love ran down my face. Romantic- Yes. I love when gray thinks ahead and does sweet things such as these, for it is not his first. They make me feel loved, desired, thought about. I am living in such a Beautiful Life, with a handsome man, a loving and gracious God, and a grateful heart.
