Wedding Anniversary
- December 1st, 2007 10:34 pm
I love my husband. I really do. So much that I am willing to refer to him as my husband even though the word somewhat sticks in my crawl. I even love him on the days I discuss the idea of tasing him.
My first, and always, favorite thing about Adam is how genuine he is. What you see is what you get. I remember being so impressed with this when we first began dating. There wasn’t a facade to dig through in order to discover his true personality. It was always on display, easily accessible, and true, very true even when the situation was negative.
Before Adam, I always felt like I had to fiercely hunt down the real personality beneath the person I was dating. But with him, it was so different. It was so easy. He was smart, funny, and just wonderful. He was the person I wanted to be with. We could talk for hours about what seemed like nothing.
Now, when I say it was so easy, I’m not saying that every day in our marriage is a walk in the park. We disagree sometimes. (I mean, once again, I will bring up the fact that in the last entry I thought a taser to be innovative marital tool.) But we fit then, and we fit now.
While I feel cliche when saying I never thought I would feel this way about someone, I say it anyway, because it’s the truth. I’m a cynic, and if you had ever once asked me (before I met Adam) if I thought I would whole-heartedly love someone, I’d have gladly told you no. But I was wrong, and that makes me very happy. I couldn’t imagine my life without Adam, and I don’t want to. I love him. I love us together. I love our daughter. I love my life with him.
(I am full of love today.)
I hope one day we are little old people hobbling around tasing each other and laughing at one another’s expense. I’ll buy little old man suspenders for him, and I’ll even wear those old woman holiday sweaters that have santa clause or pumpkins woven on them. We have cabinets full of old people medication, but we’ll still love each other through aches, pains, and canes. It will be wonderful.
Happy Anniversary Lover!

that’s how i felt about my husband, when we were dating. there were no pretenses…what i saw is what i got…and that still holds true. and, i loved the fact that, i could be who i was, on the first date! and…that’s who i still am…6 years later. a little crabbier, older and saggier but…still me. and he is still the same gassy, obnoxious man i met, over 6 years ago!
aren’t we so lucky
