nightmare-ish, and a little sappy.

A few nights ago I had a dream. 

I was watching a movie trailer with Christian and my family, and it was TERRIFYING. 

Full of scary creatures, and masked men with awful intentions. 

I remember feeling so scared, especially thinking "What if this was real?! Thank GOODNESS it isn't real!"

Then all of the sudden we turned around and looked out the front window of our house, and there were the men running towards us, brandishing all sorts of weapons. And in a split second we realized we hadnt just been watching a movie preview.

It was real.

Christian grabbed me, looked me square on in the face and told me to hide, that he loved me, and that everything would be okay. I was scared out of my mind, and in the depths of my heart I somehow knew he wasn't going to be able to fend off those men.

But as per his insistent request, I hid.

This dream helped me feel a greater surge of love for that man than I ever had before. 

And when I woke up, I realized that this was the perfect comparison to real life. 

When things get rough or scary, Christian will always be there by my side, to help me, protect me, or give me wise counsel when I may not be thinking clearly.

(Which is, unfortunately, a lot more often than I care to admit)
I'm marrying the best man in the world, and I couldn't be more excited or grateful. 

Because when life gets a little nightmare-ish, 

he will always be there to make it all better.
