I was reading through my old text messages today (mostly because my inbox was 80% full) and the ones I found most interesting were the ones between Paul and I when we first started dating.
Ha. I mean, there are ALL levels of cheesiness in those first texts. We didn't have a care in the world. We just thought each other was the best thing ever since sliced bread!
Even since August when I came out here, our relationship has changed. It's not all fluff. It's hard to have fluff and sweetness when you don't see each other very often. I mean, you can't really be cute together when you aren't together.
Yet we have deepened and grown together, BECAUSE it's not all fluff. Paul and I have many many deep conversations on the phone that we would never have had six months ago. With the time that has passed, we have grown. I always tell paul different situations, like, what would you do if I did this or that, how would you react? And he does the same.
I can't really say if I yearn for those times when we just loved each other and didn't have any serious things between us. There are benefits to both.
However, I like that he knows me deeper and that he can see what's all behind the fluff and still love me. And I like that I can do the same for him.
In other news: I am done with my student teaching. Perhaps I will write more about this later but for now that's all I have to say about that.
