paul's love languages

This really surprised me, because I totally thought Paul’s love languages were quality time and acts of service. I never realized how much physical touch meant to him. Since it’s my least love language, I guess I’m going to have to make a special effort to “fill him up”! :-) In the same way, his least language – receiving gifts – is my primary one. No wonder I’m always complaining about it. :-) (Read mine here.) The Five Love Languages…

I know, it may seem silly to be celebrating our dating anniversary after we are married! But the 5th was a special date for us for so long that it seems hard to just ignore. :-) Five years ago today, Paul and I sat in the Passion Pit of Gerig lounge… talking. (hehe) Our friends apparently were tired of us spending time together, so we met late one night for a heart-to-heart talk about our friendship. Soon we realized we…
