I feel like the luckiest women in the world...And needed to write this today and praise this wonderful man I get to call my husband.
I know that's sappy and so cliche...but oh so true. I am married to my soul mate. 13 years making memories, lovers quarrels, having a mortgage, loving up all our fur babies, infertility struggles, so many health issues, many fishing adventures, nights cuddling falling asleep and so much more. WHOA!! what a journey. But I could have never done this journey without him...
It's so scary how much time fly's. I really feel like if I blink my eyes we'll be 80 sitting in our chairs reminiscing (god willing we're both still here!) of the good ol' day's. Like cooking dinner together. Snuggling on the weekends with a good movie, exploring different places together. Not wanting to spend much time apart.
The most precious thing about our marriage is that we have grown into who we are today together. When I really look back at the person I was, I had no idea who I was or what I even wanted out of life. But being together has opened my eyes to things I never knew about myself. Finding strengths I never knew I had. So we really have brought the best out of each other. Life looks a little different now than the beginning. I work from home, and I'm chasing my dreams and step by step creating a life I love.
Challenges....this word has played a very important key role in our marriage. We've had plenty of them!! one after the other and still going strong!! But you know what...it has made us so strong and ready for anything. I am so proud of us both for what we have accomplished not only as a couple but as individuals as well.
You know I still wake up every day and just look at you. I look at you and thank god that you cam into my life. I memorize your smile, laugh, and every wrinkle etched on your face. I love how we go to bed the same time almost every night. You male my coffee every morning and I make yours on the weekends. I really love how clean and tidy you are and don't think twice about helping me around the house. And I especially love how you love our fur babies. Your gentle kind nature melts my heart.
The last couple of years have been tough. Me with my health and heart issues, and you being diagnosed with an Auto Immune disease. But then the light just shone through so bright with our little shining star joining our family. After everything it could have pulled us apart, but I knew it wouldn't. We don't like doing things like the "Norm". And that's why life with you is like one huge adventure that never stops!!
You continue to lift me up and show me I can do anything. And I continue to lift you up to try new things and believe in you. The wedding vows we said we are still living every single day, and no we are not perfect. But we show each other the highest respect and compassion. And that is real love.
I love you babe, I will continue to be by your side, cherish you, laugh and cry forever more. Buckle up tight because the adventure is about to get even better....
