Do I love you because you're wonderful? Or are you wonderful because I love you?

Last week Jason took me to the symphony. The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra was playing at the college, and Jason had to go to a concert and write a paper for one of his music classes, so I got to tag along. And let me just say, it THRILLED. MY. SOUL. For many reasons that I'm sure you could guess, and for a few that maybe you wouldn't. But during intermission I turned to Jason and said, "Isn't it amazing how so many things could be going on at once? I think it's so great just to get a good melody, but who gets a melody and then hears all these other things going on in the background that will add to the overall effect?"

And just as I finished the question, I knew the truth of what Jason said next. He said, "I do."

Do you ever stand in awe of the privilege of not just knowing your husband but actually being the one who got to marry him?

  1. To answer your last question, yes! And to answer your second question - I don't know, but I wish I were one of them! Having Jason as a brother-in-law is almost as good, though. :) Good pick, El!

  2. Actually, I'm one of those people, too. Most of the time, I'll hear the added affect before I even hear the main part, or the melody itself. It can be very distracting sometimes. :)
