Lettin' him lead

As any dancer, I understand the huge importance it is to let the man lead while dancing. Whether it's swing dancing, shagging, or the waltz; the man must lead. This requires trust from the woman. You can't guess what he's going to do, you can't try and push him into your way, and you have to rely that he is thinking of you when he's dancing and that his strong arms are going to hold you.

Justin and I had our first dance to the song, Soul mates by: Josh Turner. This song is so beautiful and the lyrics stay true with our relationship. One thing that I've learned in the past 4 months and 3 days of marriage is the strength it takes to not only lead, but to be a trusting follower. It's never simple, but it's definitely more easy to be the follower when it's your soul mate whose leading.



love is this:
love is rubbing your back every night
love is singing you to sleep
love is writing you love letters
love is holding you when you cry
love is learning something new just because it's a passion of the other's
love is being honest, even when it's real hard
love is humbling
love is encouraging
love is strong
love is together even when there's distance in between
love is valuable
love is the thing that brings out your best character and loves your worst
love is not judgmental
love gives you the benefit of the doubt
love is excitement
love is passion
love is never ending
love is a blessing
love is a miracle
love is healing
To Love is to truly Live.
