Morgaine...
Years ago, if I had been given the opportunity to plan out my life with you, in retrospect it would have looked much like this:
When we met for the first time, I would announce that we were going to be great friends. As time slowly flowered, we would both be surprised to find this statement to be true. And as we became closer we would find that 'friend' was no longer an adequate description of our connection.
Then while still on a student budget, we would manage to swing a trip to someplace romantic like the Czech Republic, where we would spend our days wandering through museums and galleries, and our nights listening to some of the most wonderful music we'd ever heard. On that trip, we'd realize that everything we saw and touched and tasted was so much more amazing simply because the other was there to experience it too. And so, in a dark and particularly exotic tea house on another continent, we would decide to experience the rest of our lives together.
We would continue to grow as individuals in wisdom and spirit and joy, and as partners, supporting each other through difficulties and celebrating the wonder of each other and the world around us. And then the most wondrous thing of all would happen... we would welcome a new member of the family, a new being to share the wonder of the world with all over again...
That's pretty much how it's been so far. And I wouldn't have planned it any differently had I been given the opportunity. But since things never go as planned, I'm glad I never got the chance...
