We still got it

Zack and I have built our relationship on communication. Both of us would be happy to just be able to talk for hours. Ever sense we first started dating 5 years ago we would just sit and talk. Through emails, phone conversations, letters and in person. It doesn't matter, we seem to never run out of things to talk about. We talk about future plans, or past experiances. Memories and every day life. Back in our first year we made a record of talking on the phone for 8.5 hours straight. We had to wait until after 9pm to call because we have never been on the same phone plan. Even now I am on AT&T and he is on Verizon. We never intended to make some sort of record time in talking we just weren't tired enough and didn't want to say good night yet. Last night seemed to be the same situation. The more we talked, the more we didn't want to go to sleep because we weren't tired and we had more we wanted to talk about. Sometime people ask us how we talk so much and after all this time still have things to say, and I cant really explain it. Communicating has never been a problem between us. We both knew how important it was to be able to communicate and we always made it a priority. It is nice because we have been able to grow together and learn from each other over the years. Yesterday we talked for 9.5 hours and the only reason we hung up was because I had to leave for church. We count this as a blessing that we can talk to so freely with one another. I am sure this will continue through the years of marriage and hope that not matter what happens, we will never loose this great gift we share.
Thank you Zack, I have loved every minute of it.

OK, being able to communicate is a wonderful thing in a relationship, but 9 hours is really crazy. Don't tell me that you continued while going to the bathroom. That just isn't right.
Is this really the slide show you are showing at the wedding? Everyone has had the opportunity to already see it. No sense of surprise.
We are all on the countdown for the big event when you too can be together.
Love ya, your momma

Mom you have talked to me while going to the bathroom it is no different. And it was 9.5 hours not 9 hours. when record are involved, that half hour really counts.
Also the slide show for the wedding has more pictures but this one has a lot of them because not everyone will get to see it and not everyone will see our blog before the wedding.
