& a perfect day is every day I'm spending my life with you.

Nothing But Love - Trading Yesterday

We sat on a cliff, surrounded on all sides by the bush, the beach and the city. It was one of those rare moments when it was just us and the world. Us above the world, really. We stared out across the green, blue and brown view, dotted with buildings and vehicles and people. We imagined what they were all doing, what they were all thinking, whether anyone would look up and see the pair of smiling observers watching them from above. He told me about a book he read when he was younger, where pigs flew but no one except one boy noticed, because everyone was too busy looking down. I thought of this talk, "It is better to look up." It really is. There is so much beauty in life, so much joy to be found in the simple things, so much peace to be felt through Heavenly Father's love.

Kissed by sunshine on a cool winter's day.

He is so goofy and silly, but he is mine (for now).

Happiness.

Raindrops began to tickle our faces and speckle our clothes, but still we stayed, wrapped in our picnic blanket and each others' arms. Everything was so magical and pure and alive. We never make foolish promises like forever, but in that moment, I almost wished we could. Only the setting sun and a mother's insistence that we be home before dark could drag us away from our special place.

I love you and as much as I wish I could keep you for always, I'm so excited for you to go. Just promise you'll remember.
