Sweet Little Things

I love the way it feels

thinking back on our highlight reel:

… first glances

… slow dances

… mountain views

… and chapel “I do’s.”

But more than these,

I cherish the sweet little things:

… pizza parties on a Friday night

… sharing headphones on an overnight flight

… goodnight and reunion hugs

… weekend coffee in our favorite mugs

… early morning strolls around the lake

… corny inside jokes that we make

… sipping on beachside rooftop cocktails

… bonfire nights on pumpkin patch hay bails

… goodnight routines with our cuddly little ones

… tailgates and football under the autumn sun

… birthday dinners and date nights out

… kitchen dance parties to cure witching hour pouts

… summer drives for an ice cream run

… endless memories that have only just begun.

I’m loving these parts of our story so far –

loving these moments that are only ours.

Big or little,

large or small,

these days and moments,

they mean it all.

So here’s to us

– Cheers! A toast! –

to the sweet little things

that mean the most.
