Our e-friends, Dan Zadra & Kobi Yamada, released a book called “2” a while back…
…and since Kev and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today, I thought it would be fun to blog about something lovey-dovey that Dan and Kobi included in their book. It’s called the six-word love story.
Here are some examples they included in the book:
And (because I was completely fascinated by the idea) here are a couple more neat ones I found while surfing around online (waaaay past my bedtime) last night…
Unbeknownst to my darling hubby (who was fast asleep at our normal bedtime), I spent much of the evening creating as many six-word love stories as I could think of. I plan on driving him borderline crazy with them sharing them with him throughout the day today. The hopeless romantic in me hopes it doesn’t make his brain hurt he finds the whole thing as fascinating and absolutely addicting as I do.
I’m saving the mushy ones I came up with for Kev, but I thought my fellow house-fixer-uppers would get a kick out of this one that popped into my head at 5:35 am this morning (I immediately rolled over and texted it to myself so I wouldn’t forget it- ha!):
“Wild houses couldn’t drag me away.”
This afternoon we’re going out for a meal and a movie, but if you feel like sharing your six-word love story in the comments section here today, I would absolutely LOVE to read through them with my mister tonight!

My hubbies – “Orlando. ElectricSlide. Zoey. Forever Plus Three.”
We met at a bar in Orlando and I tried teaching him and his friends the “ElectricSlide” (He cheated and said that’s one word for this exercise.) Zoey is our pup. And he always says “Love you forever plus 3 days.”
Another good one for us: Love you forever plus 3 days.
Thanks for posting this… I’ve had such fun with it today. Happy Anniversary to you and Kevin!! 🙂
Nicole

I love this idea so much! I couldn’t stop at one…
Steadfast boy tames girl’s wild heart.
He pursued. I ran, then relented.
In his arms I find home.
Writing this out made me realize how my favorite parts of our love story mirror God’s pursuit of my restless heart. Happy anniversary to you!

(He sat in front of my in a college history class, I barely knew him. I was dressed up for some reason and while legs were crossed one dress slide slipped off my foot, he reached down and grabbed it and kept it til the end of class as I’m nudging and trying to whisper to give it back… he said when he gave it back that I’d never forget it or him… it was true!)
