Today, while talking to Jordan for a few brief moments he told me that he felt like he didn't even know me anymore. That this distance is causing us to forget the small things about each other and only worry about the big things. The big things are obviously important but the small things to matter too!
Each week when I write Jordan I add usually 5-15 questions that he must answer. It's actually been quite fun! I feel like because of this we have been through everything small and simple. If he likes pickles, if he prefers stripes or polka dots, what his favorite scripture is, his favourite ice cream, favourite month of the year, how he likes his steak cooked, what his favourite area has been, who his favourite companion is. And more just random questions. I feel like through this I have gotten to know him a little bit better.
That being said. Jordan doesn't ask me questions and I really don't care because it has just become our thing. I ask him the questions and it gets us talking.... I think that a lot of our relationship has been like that and I really don't mind it. I love talking about Jordan and talking about Jordan with Jordan. Wow, nothing could be better!!
Anyways. This week Jordan told me that he felt like he didn't know me anymore and he asked me like 3 really quick and simple questions.
What I like to do, what kind of music I listen to and where I am at in the scriptures.
Really simple, but took me a few minutes to ponder. I hate giving him basic answers. I feel like you can't learn anything about anyone if you only brush the surface so I really thought this one through. And I came to the conclusion that I really like to sew and blog and that my favorite music was country or anything just mellow. Like he is we, bebo Norman or Sara barellis. I feel like any music like that just calms me right down and I can really relax.
Sewing is something I rarely get to do but I have really began to love it! I wish I had more time but the time I do get I really appreciate. I love being able to just sit there and worry only about what you are doing and have a goal and a purpose and at the same time you are able to think about your life with no distractions other than a worry of making sure you stay in a straight line. I really enjoy the time I get to spend with my grandmother as well. 2 and a half years ago I lost my grandma Anderson and it was really hard for me, so now being able to spend time with my grandma oberg both doing what we love has really had an impact on my life.
It has been a time where I can relax and reflect on life and here on this blog is where I get to talk about it the most!
I have really seen the amount of stress reduced in my life as I take time out of my week for myself, to sew, to blog, and to read my scriptures.
I am grateful for the opportunities that arise in my life that allow me to do the things that I love most. I know that God is there and that he really loves us. He is aware of our needs and He knows what is best for us!
I'm also grateful for Jordan and his patience with me. This last year has not been an easy one. But I wouldn't take it back for the world! I have really been able to watch both myself and him grow! It really is such a beautiful thing.
