Our Family...

It struck me tonight that in 104 days Steve and I will be a family... OUR own family just me and him no one else we will have made OUR own family... I don't mean the combining of my family and his family into one bigger family I mean our very own me and him ( with the option to add on little blessings) family apart from our parents and siblings. It will be just the 2 of us. For some reason when I realized this it had a big emotional impact on me... My family will be Steve... He'll be the one I wake up with Christmas morning to open presents... He will be the person notified first if anything happens to me. He will be the benefactor on my life insurance policy and all of that other legal mumbo jumbo... I will be all of those things for him and he will be all of those things for me. I wonder if maybe some people would be a little off kilter about that, but ya know it feels soooo right to me like thats the way it is thats the way its meant to be.
We're reading this book together called "The Mystery of Marriage" by Mike Mason in it the author compares marriage to the encounter in the garden of Eden recognizing bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh... The first encounter between Adam and Eve how he recognized her as a part of himself different but a part of himself nonetheless. He went on to say that we as humans and in marriage are always trying to create or get back to those moments of recognizing each other on that basic level. Steve and I feel that we see that... I think we do kind of recognize each other I can't claim we experienced love at first site but probably pretty quickly we realized "hey you're the other half of me" even more so as we grew and nurtured our relationship it has become abundantly clear to us... God meant for us to be together God brought him to me... I can say without sounding cheesy or cliche about it that Steve makes me a better me... I don't find my identity in him and he doesn't complete me only God can do that... but he makes me the me I want to be the me I couldn't ever quite pin point on my own. I am that me when I am with him... I can't explain it any better than that... In our own silly billy way we are a family as if we always had been always knew each other as if our lives never existed separately we are a family... We will be Steven and Deaira Goble, Mr and Mrs Goble... The Gobles... a wonderful loving husband and a silly sappy wife :) hahaha in 104 days..... 103.... 102...
