That face

"I'm here now, your Ryan's back, never to go, and loving you more than ever. It's been a roller coaster and it hasn't gone anyway that we've planned, but if it did go all perfect, would we have learned anything from it? If it wasn't hard it wouldn't be right. I'm gunna do all that I can to make these next 10 months the way they should be. With not a lot of stress or pressure, just all love and patience."

I know it's a little personal to share those tender words.
But my heart is so full, my life is so full of rich blessings.
This summer has taken us for a ride
with twists and turns neither one of us saw coming.
But I wouldn't change a thing. It's brought us here.
It's brought "us" back.
I love that face up there.
Today I emailed him and complained to him about a couple things.
He said, "I've gotten my head out of my butt, and I suggest you do the same."
I love that he talks to me like that. I love that he doesn't wipe off his face when he eats bbq.
I love that he would smack my butt as a way of saying "hi."
We needed this break, this challenge, this past summer.
We each got a taste of what life would be like without each other.
We saw that life would go, and could go on.
But how lucky am I that he came back?
My best friend.
My heart.

I really, really love this. Remember how some people say they're done with their missionaries, and I think, "Yeah... I can see that..." but when you said you were backing off, it just felt weird for me? I'm glad you two are back. :)
