I have been married for two years today So I suppose that warrants a quick cruise by this here profile to mention it. It certainly IS newsworthy.
Even though it was just two years ago...when I look at the picture of us from that day hanging on our wall...I can't help but think we were just kids then. So much lay ahead of us. Lots and lots of hard times and struggle. But also, many moments of love and happiness.
When they say opposites attract, they're right. What they fail to mention is that the combination of the two isn't always filled with peace and harmony. In fact, the two of us can be downright firey at times. But that's certainly not for a lack of love.
Sometimes I think the two of us make the mistake of seeing ourselves through the eyes of others...assuming we know what we must look like to them. The poor family downstairs, always late with the rent, never go anywhere unless it's a working vacation, etc... Me always with the baby strapped to my back. Him always tired and trecking dirt in from work
I remember watching them over the holidays...every day the UPS man with another package for them from online shopping. The enormous christmas tree we actually hijacked for our xmas card photo because we didn't have one of our own. Their numerous, fully functional and safe to drive automobiles... The happy couple with two kids, one of each, off to the beach every weekend...off for a week in the white mountains of New Hampshire... Never a seeming worry in the world those guys.
Not like us down here. Always worried. Always an uphill battle against the world just to claim our spot. But you know what? Those folks upstairs, aren't as happy as they seem. I know because I talk to the mommy sometimes. Sure, they've got more than us materialistically... But what we were able to do with a mere $100 we scraped together for xmas? A pile of presents isn't worth to me, the words of love we shared, and the fun we had putting it together. No one comes close to what my husband and I share in regards to love, loyalty, and friendship. Together we have survived some of the most strenuous, soul challenging, heart breaking, fear provoking situations in the mere two years we've been together. And...we're still together.
Sometimes I shake my fist to the gods and damn them for not giving me someone easier to deal with... But in the end, and in all honesty, there isn't a soul in the world I'd rather be with. He's mine and I love him!
Happy Anniversary Babe!!!
