Dolly
Dolly Parton has been on my mind a lot. This song in particular:
I played it last night alone in the house, dancing all over the living room as she rip-roars it toward the end. I think this song is one of the most over-played, though I haven't heard the Led Zeppelin original all that much. And Dolly had a knack for capturing me.
As does Jeffery. Today is the 2-year anniversary marker. At first, I was like "wow, 2 years!" and then I thought about it...and I got a little frustrated. I think about it like "wow, what an accomplishment" like it's a trial or endeavor to last this long. And a part of me wants to believe that, after XX amount of time, then it's a sure thing. It's a safe bet, and it won't go anywhere, and that's not how I want to think about it. While waking up this morning, I mentioned it to Jeff. I said "I don't want to think of it that way, or even think of the anniversary like that. 'Wow, look what I've/we've been able to do!'". And he said "Look at it as a growth time. You've grown in 2 years." It's true. I've thought for so long about my siblings, when they got to marriage for 5 years, 10 years, whatever, that it becomes a sure thing, and you can sit back and relax.
Instead, I’m happy to have had this growth (hahahaha, context). I first wanted some alone time today/tonight to do some dinner or something. But instead I'd rather have some people over for ANTM, and just celebrate and be happy. Plus I hear there's some good eats in southern Utah. OMG vacation in 2 DAYS!
