I celebrated my 8 year wedding anniversary yesterday.
I got no flowers, no card, no gift, had take out at my in-laws for dinner & nursed a bloody busted lip of my sweet Henry.
Jeri has a LONG list of AMAZING qualities but being romantic and planning, well anything really, is not one of them. It is no secret that this characteristic trait has always slayed me our entire relationship.
So as the hours passed yesterday & I was trying to determine if I was going to allow myself to take that turn to negative town I reminded myself of something.
I might be one of the luckiest women on the planet to have found this man & to have married him. He is one of those rare guys that just gets it. He understands what it means to be a partner.
He is respectful of my life before him and my life outside of him.
He hands down is the most amazing father. His love for those boys is unmatched & his dedication to molding them, nurturing them and showing them how to be little men is unyielding and is a constant as breathing.
He has a young heart whose mission in life is to keep mine young when it so often forgets and wants to age.
He has loved me with an extra 30 lbs, a job that I put before him & my children, an ache in my heart that wanted to me live anywhere but AZ. He has loved me for me.
I may not get flowers, cards or showered with gifts but I get 110% of him everyday.
Love you Mya

Ahhh, I remember it like it was yesterday. 23 years old, Vegas, the vow puke bucket, bridesmaids in black surrounding the beauty in white as we walked to the chapel, Granny walking you and your daddy-o down the aisle via cell phone, wishing and hoping and praying for sweet Bear to lose this virginity, drinks, drinks, and more drinks. But mostly I remember the feeling of that day. So much love...from every direction. I remember flying home thinking, that's what a wedding is supposed to be. Intimate, relaxing, fun, beautiful, and filled with people who love the bride and groom real and big.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm proud of your hard work. Making it work isn't easy, and making it work well is nearly impossible. You and Jeri are doing it well.
Its all about the balance huh!? He is the best daddy ever... and that is so important! Plus... no pearls necessary!
