Kristen & Luke
1) Luke and I have been together for 8 years. We have been married for 4 years.
2) Luke and I met the last week of July in 1999 on the beach in Panama City Beach, Florida. We were both there with our families and friends. We met each other the first days of our our week long vacation so, we spent the entire time together. It was a bunch of us, guys and girls, all paling around. We had a blast but there was nothing "romantic" that happened between the two of us, until the last night. On that night, we told everyone we were going to marry each other and I knew in my heart that it was the truth. When I left, it felt like I left a part of myself behind. And I did. Shortly after I visited him in Georgia with my mom and friends. It was quickly known that we were together forever.
3)Luke has so many admirable qualities but, the one I admire the most is his work ethic. He is never ever lazy. He works hard at everything he does. He has worked his way up in his career at an impressive level in a short time. Luke works very hard so I don't have to and that's important because of my health and our belief on childcare. Plus, I admire his massive forearms and freakish strength. And beautiful eyes....
4)Luke and I fight the most about voices/tones. It's not what you say but how you say it. Luke has a very difficult time understanding this sometime. We met when we were 18 so we were babies. We've grown up a lot.
5) I guess that brings me to this question about how our relationship has changed. In so many ways and not at all. Like I said, we were babies when we met so, we've grown up a lot since we've met. So many HORRIBLE things have happened to us in the time since we've been together, too, so that has brought us so close. We've always been very close. We have a very strong connection that is very special and strong. It's something that I treasure more than anything on earth. We have to work very hard to keep it going because of his schedule. I'm willing to do anything to keep our marriage strong. It is not easy. It is a job, a work in progress, every single day until you die. Luke works out of town, nights, weekends, we do what works for US and we don't worry about "other" people.
So close no matter how far
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live
it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something
newOpen mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
