It is my wedding anniversary today. Five years ago today, I married this guy I had been living with for 7 years. We met, and moved in quickly when I was 21. He was in college and realy sweet and I was working a shit waitressing job. we moved around a bit (Port Franks was nice by the beach...sigh) and ended up here about 10 years ago. We were really tight and had same hobbies and interest and were best friends. The next few years got odd and there was alot of change. your twenties can do that to you. Sometimes we were not on the same page and then would just morph back together and tight again. He started making lotsa money and getting in mags for hotrod and racecar building. He was away alot. I was working at the best tattoo shop here , and in local designer shops so I hung out with the local artists, dj's, piercers, promoters , strippers , drug dealers hahah it goes on. Lets just say I was VERY social and that was my thing. My "thing" also included having lot of flings with hot girls from bars but we had an understanding about that sorta thing. We allowed each other to change and grow in thier own way , even though maybe he didn't like all the partying ..he never really said. I never tried to put out his career drive thing he was doin'. And then we had one big fight. we usually don't fight not because we avoid conflict its just that we talk to each other like we are friends. It was a doozy and we reassessed our life goals and such. A week later we decided to go to Vegas and do the deed after all this time. We wanted to make a fresh start and change some of the way we were living. Our friends sent us off all drunk and high onto a plane and we did it today , 5 years ago. I was pissed off because I forgot to pack shoes (due to being drunk) and He was nervous and acting erratically. No one else was there , it was sweet and short. We have been very happy ever since. So really its been 12 years married ..but five with the paper. We still allow each other to be who we are. But we are just different, not as a couple but individually. I have quit drugs and partying and stay home happily with three little ones. He still does what he does but ina smaller and happier shop with less hours and less stress. We bought a house that we love, its all old and wonky. My parents have been married 4 times each to people and I thought happy marriages were a wivestale. But alas here we are, pretty happy, a good team, and friends.
