we worked at The Wilds Christian camp together one summer and went to the same school. We first bonded over our mutual love of coffee. we would study together and drink coffee, until he asked me out for just coffee -- no studying, and our love grew from there. we love having lunches on the grass and taking our shoes off to feel the earth. A few weeks into our dating he told me a song reminded him of me because of the lyrics "barefoot on the grass". So that was "our song" after that. 2 years later he recorded himself singing all the parts of the song and added my name. he used that to propose and had the ring box in a coffee cup full of my favorite coffee beans. He loves that I find joy in small things, and I love his tenderness, optimism, and thoughtfulness.
