One of the best memories I have of my childhood is dancing around the living room with my mom. Tom Petty, Counting Crows, Bonnie Raitt. We would spin and sway; twirl and laugh.
I don’t look back fondly on too many moments of her relationship with the man she dated seriously for years after my parents divorced (he broke her heart and I’m not down with that), but I do remember them dancing with each other around the living room. Spinning and swaying; twirling and laughing.
I dance around the room with Owen on my hip, bouncing him to make him laugh.
And today, when our wedding song came on randomly while uploading songs to itunes, Michael pulled me into his chest and we slow danced in our living room. Spinning and swaying; twirling and laughing, with baby at our feet.
I hope one day our children think back to us dancing around the house together.
Spinning and swaying; twirling and laughing…

Oh my goodness, this actually brought tears. I love this. All of this. You and your mom. You and Michael. Owen growing up watching his parents so in-love. Dah, and here’s the tears again.
Love. Seriously, love.
