Nine years ago today I started dating my husband.
Three years ago today I married him.
We dated for months via email, text, and phone conversations. The first time we occupied the same physical space, he told me, “I think I’m falling in love with you.”
I made a split second decision to trust him. I believe it’s one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made.
We have, and continue to do the work it takes to create our best possible life together.
We have moments when we strike out.
We have moments when we knock it out of the park.
Our average is good. Our OBP is even better.
We may not be World Series contenders, but we own our division. And really, I’m not sure I want us to be so successful we’re winning the World Series. I want us to keep practicing and working, and enjoying the game. I don’t want us to don those big ass rings and rest on our laurels.
OK, this went a direction I didn’t intend…
Here’s what’s up.
No matter how we struggle, we’re struggling together.
No matter how we succeed, we’re succeeding together.
That’s why we’re good. We’re in it together.
We stand in the kitchen and shout.
We sit on the sofa and cry.
We ride in the car and laugh.
I love to kiss him.
I love to hold his hand.
I love when he makes weird faces at me for absolutely no reason.
I love when we have ridiculous conversations with each other’s reflection in the bathroom mirror.
We’re not perfect.
We are real.
I’d rather be real with YBW than perfect with anyone.

Happy Anniversary! I love anniversaries, there’s cake 😊
In our case, it’s donuts.
Our first date was for donuts and coffee, so we always try to and have donuts on our anniversary!
