A girl found a boy on myspace and sent him a friend request and a simple message. That simple message blossomed into a beautiful friendship and then a long loving relationship. Five years ago tomorrow the husband and I got married.
Our relationship has had a bumpy road to say the least. We had a crazy baby killing ex wife trying to drive us apart every week. A crazy judgmental ex-girlfriend trying to drive us a part at the beginning. And, at the beginning, a non supportive family on both sides. Life was chaotic and we never had a lot of money. But we made it. We almost didn't make it a few times. I thought for sure this is the end. But our love of one another shown bright even threw the darkest parts. People started to realize that we were going to make. Then we packed up and moved across the country and a whole new set of problems arose. But we made it threw those, by the skin of our teeth!
Five glorious and not so glorious years of marriage have thought me a few lessons about myself and about my other half. The most valuable lesson I learned was learning to compromise. Its still hard but it has to be done. He doesn't always want what I want and I don't always want what he wants. I also learned that he is my best friend. And no matter how many crazy bitches come into my life he is always the one left standing. I also learned that age doesn't matter. I learned that one persons life is never better than the others, just different. I have learned patience, but I don't know how much that is from the husband or the kids. I also learned how to love someone more than I have ever loved anyone before. I learned that you have to be open and honest at all times with your spouse, that they are here to help not hinder. He also thought me how to shine my boots and how to do a correct sit up. He gives me strength when I have none and hope when I feel empty. He loves me despite my many flaws and would give me the world if he could.
I know not everyone believes in soul mates but I do believe I have found mine. He the yin to my yang, the cheech to my chong. The peanut butter to my jelly. He completes me. So this one goes out to you, my husband, thank you for the wonderful life you have blessed me with. Even though I dislike it a lot of the time, I still love you with all my heart every day. Here's to five years down and many more to go! I love you sugartits!
