Isn’t she just absolutely beautiful! I miss her so much! She’s coming up from the 20th to the 26th of June. She’s coming via the bus, and I pick her up from the Minneapolis bus station at 2:45. That day will feel so long until I meet her, and then it will go so fast. We have been doing “premarital counseling.” That’s what I call it, but in reality, it’s something different. I don’t know. Gauge for yourself. I made a list of thirty questions about marriage that I sent her, and I filled it out and she filled it out. A lot of our questions are similar, but a lot are drastically different. It has certainly provided an ample amount of conversation, and we’ve been growing closer through it. Open communication and honesty and trust are huge for me when it comes to relationships. In all my other relationships, the girls have not been totally honest or have been absolutely distrusting (though, ironically, I’m the one who had reason to distrust!). Things with Karen are different. She is open and honest, and she trusts me with her secrets and skeletons in the closet, and I trust her with mine. Things are going really well between us, and time apart—it’s only been three weeks!—has taught me how much I truly value and care for her. I would not be surprised if one day she is the mother of my children.
