12 years ago today we fell in love. It was our first date. The first time we were alone together….we went to dinner and a dance. We talked, laughed, shared our joys, our sorrows, and our dreams. We saw deep into each other’s souls and loved what we saw. We fell in love.
Today we never left our cabin and the field of gold on our property. We spent the entire day on our half acre of land in the mountains under the pine and oak trees that shaded us.
In the early morning sunshine we sat together on our new Valentine lot behind our cabin. We marveled at the quiet beauty that surrounded us, and the magnificence of the Mogollon Rim that rises 1,500’ above us in the distance.
As we sat there, in awe of the peacefulness that surrounded us, we realized that we had our very own field of gold spread out before us….AND our own dance floor cushioned with pine needles.
So we danced in our field of gold.
Dan has promised me that we will always, and forever, dance in Fields of Gold. He bought me this piece of land, right outside our back door. The grass is gold, and with some care, the entire piece of land will be a Field of Gold.
Here is our video of us dancing on our very own Field of Gold.
We exchanged anniversary cards and presents as we cooked our fondue dinner.
And we held each other and danced on our deck. We just needed to be close and move as one to the music that touches our hearts….our music, the songs, that have been part of our courtship, part of our love, part of our life.
It was a beautiful day today…..as magical as that evening twelve years ago when we fell in love.
