When I Knew


"We've had a lot of awesome dates here."
"Yeah we have.  My favorite ones."
"For sure. Like the one right before I went home for the summer where we did baptisms and then spent the whole day down here."
"Remember how we felt after doing baptisms that time?  I didn't know baptisms could be so fun."
I remembered how everybody in the temple seemed to give us those looks like they knew something we didn't.  I thought about his hands on my head.  I thought about how we kept smiling at each other across the room.  I thought about how he held my hand on the way into the font, and how we both walked out of the temple saying how much fun we'd had.  I think that was the only word that could describe the happy, full feeling in my heart.  I didn't realize it then, but I think that might have been when I really knew.

That, and that fortune cookie around the same time that said "The love of your life is in front of your eyes."
Really.
