Me & You

© 2012 Brian Adams

For my birthday this year, Ash made me this amazing 202-page book of our lives together so far, featuring photos both of us have taken, poems by Ash, and our little, beautiful story. It begins:

Once upon a time, there was a Me and a You,

though they were very far away from one another.

Then, one day, they met.

Then, they became

Me & You.

I can't believe how much Ash and I have done in the short three years we have known each other. We met, fell in love, traveled a lot, got married, moved to New York, went to grad school, found out we were pregnant, drove across the continent, moved to Alaska, and now we are waiting for Elliott to come out at any minute. That's just to name a few things!

When people ask me how things are going in life, I don't even know where to begin, or how to tell them how happy I am with our life and the direction it is going in. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing wife and soon-to-be son. Ash's book summed it up pretty well:

I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for us.

What walks we will take, what drives we will drive.

What photos and poems we will make.

Who our son will look like. What dreams he will dream.

I know this, though:

Life is always magical, wonderful, and perfect

with Me & You.
