Can't Sleep.

He left today.
Drove all the way down to Tucson.
Called it a dust bowl.
My fiance - Tanner - moved down south for a summer internship.
He called me for an update.
I think he's unsure of what's there to see, to enjoy, to explore.
But he did find the chimichanga of all chimichangas.
So I'm sold.


It's amazing how much I miss him.
He still feels near to me though, like we can never truly leave each other.
We must be two spirits intertwined.
I love our love.
It's deep and powerful and gentle and clever - ridiculous too.
Today, he quoted the Sicilian's final monologue from the movie "The Princess Bride" to me over the phone.
Epic.
I love the man.
I love how he gives me smile wrinkles.
My life will be well-lived with him.

Side note.
I can't sleep, obviously.
I had a girl date with my lady Drea -who blows my mind.


We went to Starbucks, so I think my Chai Tea Latte is the culprit for my sleepless state.
Should have thought that one through!
Doh.
But hanging out with her was incredible.
I feel blessed by her friendship; she truly is a sister to me, a woman spurring me on towards Christ.
I can only hope to reciprocate that.
Seriously, we reflected a lot tonight on how we've grown - it's insane.
Insanely AMAZING.
We've both learned how to love unconditionally, respect continually, submit graciously, and forgive wholeheartedly.
She is beautiful and I love her presence in my life.
Also, I love her honesty.
She shares deep things, sweet things, sometimes dark things.
It's always incredible when you come across a soul you can resonate with.
Thank you Drea.
And Thank you Lord
for all the loves in my life.
