I Hope You Dance

Sean and I have been married for 2 years, 3 months, 3 weeks and four days. But who’s counting? Well, actually the little counter thingy is on our blogspot. See it on the left hand side?  J

Anyway, tonight we had some friends over for dinner and we were chit-chatting about life and things in general.   

Throughout the night, I would turn my head to Sean and he’d wink at me or I’d wink at him.  Two years of marriage doesn’t seem like a lot, and it isn’t but Sean and I have grown so much together these past two years that it seems like we’ve been together our whole lives. We just fit so well as husband and wife.

When our friends left, we had a lot of dishes to do but we took a few minutes to just hug and talk and laugh. We had music playing in the background during dinner and dessert with our friends and after they had left, the music was still playing....

So, we danced.

Like there wasn’t a care or thought in the world.

Just Sean and me.

And it was wonderful.

It reminds me of a song, “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. In it she sings:

“I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance”

Life has thrown us curveballs over the past year but Sean and I choose to dance. Dance with each other; dance before our Father and dance with complete joy and love.

And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance too.

Much love,

Meredith
