I love everything about you.

I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this post to my husband.

The moment I met him almost 6 years ago I had no idea we would end up where we are. We both like to talk about those first encounters and relive the memories that brought us together. I tell everyone who listens how amazing of a person he is and well here is just another time I'm doing that.

 


 

When we got married everyone was telling us how wonderful that first year is. The "honeymoon" year... well in our case while it was wonderful it was also full of stress and honestly, that made our relationship not as care free and honeymoonish as it should have been. Four months after we said I do we moved across the country.  

Chad focused solely on his music for the next 4 months meaning I was working paying all the bills and he was chasing his dreams which we fully agreed on but in time I was growing stressed. Then at the beginning of the year my mom moved in with us for 3 months to try and get on her feet to live in Seattle and while my mom is the best kind of roommate it just added tons of stress and worry to the basket I was already carrying. Chad meanwhile handled all of this with complete devotion and supported me with every decision but it was still hard on us to be really "honeymoonish happy." After things got back to normal and my mom ended up moving back to MS to take care of her mother we started finding our way back to our happy place together. Then Chad got a really great job and shortly got promoted, then recently I got promoted at my job and here we are almost a year later feeling back on top of the world. Which has really made me want to reflect on this past year with you guys.

 

I don't like to share a lot of the hard times on my blog and in general I try to stay away from negative emotions/feelings. However, I think it's really important to share with you guys that life is sometimes so hard it's easy to want to give up. I have experienced those moments of feeling so stressed out that I can't do anything but cry so hard I dry heave but I know now that I will make it through those moments. You will be okay and things will get better. I feel so blessed everyday of my life because I have gone through these difficult times already and we are now enjoying the rewards of our hard work and dedication. I never thought that I would have a partner like Chad. I never thought that someone would love my crazy/mean/annoying/anal self like he does. I definitely don't know any other guy that would be so understanding and helpful when it came to living with their mother in law for 3 months during his first "honeymoonish" year of marriage. I have the best husband in the world. I have the kindest man in the world and everyday even when I am mad at him all I can think about is how utterly blessed I am to call him mine.  

I think that year 2 of our marriage is going to be the best one yet that I hope leads into many, many, many more years of love. I feel like we can get through anything together and that we will achieve any goal we come up with. He is my entire heart and being with him makes me better. I feel like as individuals we are strong but together we are unstoppable.

 

Wait for a love like this...if you haven't found yours yet. Everyone deserves to have that one person that you can always depend on... no matter the fights, the differences, or the misunderstandings. When they love you this much... there's always a way to make it back to the "Honeymoonish Happiness."

 

Chad, I may not be able to write you love songs but if I could I'd already have a 1,000 done. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for following me around that party that night and for never doubting that what we had was so special that you wanted to put a ring on my finger and be with me forever. Thank you for always taking out the trash and filling my car up with gas because you know I hate doing it. I promise to love you for the rest of my life and to always help you go after your dreams just like you have helped me go after mine.

 

To put it simply... you're the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I love you so much.

Thank you.
