the simplicity of love.

it's no surprise to anyone that knows me well of my "drama queen" tendencies.  i tend to exaggerate, well, just about everything.  that being said, these past for weeks i've just been reminded over and over again how perfect my choice was to marry derek asay.  he can make me laugh like no one i've ever known.  i love that he can make me laugh, even when i'm so grumpy.
a couple weeks ago i was stressed, or grumpy, or drama queen-ing, something.  derek turned on his favorite christmas song [i promise it's one you've never heard of before.  also, he listens to it year round.]  he takes me by the hand, runs me to the middle of the room and starts dancing me all over the place.  by the end we were dying - both of laughter and from being out of breath.  he proceeds to turn on the 24/7 christmas music on the mormon channel.  it starts up and the very first song is "procession of bells." again.  he immediately starts spinning me around and around again.  it was too good to be true.  of all the songs.
it's these little moments that are my favorite.
