Our love story!

Next month my hubby and I will be celebrating 15 years together! That’s basically half of my life, like sir you took my good years. No but seriously, it doesn’t even seem like it's been that long. I feel like I can’t remember life before him but it’s also crazy to think that we’ve been together for so long. He is truly my best friend, I could never ever even begin to think about life with anyone else. I still look at him and get butterflies, every once in a while, I see him from a distance and have to double take because damn my man is so fine. I’m not even one of those girls who stare men down, it's just not me at all but I appreciate a good-looking person and I swear when I see him coming to the car or walking passed a window to the restaurant, I pretty much have to pick my mouth up off the floor because he really is that sexy. I did good and he just gets better looking as the years go by.  

So anyways, long story short it was my senior year in high school and I got a friend request on myspace and a message followed. At the time I had just started to take a break from myspace because I had a crazy ex who wouldn’t leave me alone and I was over it BUT I didn’t want to lose out on talking to the cute boy in my inbox so I gave him my number and we talked every single day from that point on. I trusted he wasn’t a weirdo because he was friends with a lot of my old friends from the city I had just moved from and my bestie (shout out to her) had me as her #1 friend on myspace so that’s how he found me. Of course, I asked her about him and she said he was cool, quiet and pretty nice so I took a chance and fast forward a couple years I ended up moving with him to Utah where he played college football. I know our moms weren’t exactly excited that we decided to act grown and live with each other but they have 3 beautiful grandkids now so it wasn’t for nothing. Granted our road to happiness wasn’t the easiest which is expected when you are kids trying to be in a full on adult relationship, I would hope my kids do not try to “settle down” in high school or college because there was lots of heart break, lack of real communication, dishonesty and just immaturity. We always had a solid friendship, our beliefs and values aligned and we’ve always loved the hell out of each other so that was never the issue but we for sure had to grow up and luckily we grew up in a way that still kept us together and brought us even closer.  

Now we are able to fully trust each other and built a level of security that honestly, I've never felt before, not even with my family. Its actually kind of sad because I am only comfortable with him around, I don’t want to be invited if my man can’t come, respectfully. What can I say, he calms me and makes me feel safe, I know he has my back better than anyone so why wouldn’t I want him with me all the time? I promise I'm not crazy, I love when he goes out with his boys that’s not what I'm saying, I just don’t like to be out in the world on my own without my baby, maybe one day I’ll grow up. All that to say, I built this beautiful relationship with an amazing man and I’m so grateful. I thank God for him every single day. This has been the best story to be a part of, our love story is my favorite! I pray we continue to grow and learn more ways to show up for each other, to stay focused on us and raising our kids, to wake up and choose each other over and over and to keep our love true and pure with no limitations. 15 years is a long time but with you baby it’s not long enough. Let's keep doing this thing called life together, our way!
