Sweetness

Today Hubster showed up at work with these at hand, he left work a little early and as he made his way home he decided to drive across town to come see me!!!

After my surprise he took me to lunch and I was still speechless!

But all that got me thinking about our journey...

you may look at this and say " what did he do now?" or "is there something that he feels bad about?"

and so does other people,

there was a customer at my job that said " no, you have to be newlyweds" we said, " no mam, we are the furtherst from that"

then she said " than it's your anniversary" and as she left she said " do you have kids??" we replied, "not yet" and she blurted "that's why!"

We named her Negative Nelly.

Trust me guys, we have come a long way to find peace in our marriage. That is what I like to call it. Peace...

And I mean that in the most honest way possible, when we first got married we wanted to kill each other! We never lived outside of our parents' house till that day. It was completely new territory on both ends...

And that took years to get used to...

We have gone through so much together....you cannot imagine what we haven't gone through, because after almost a decade as a couple we have weathered most storms and not given up...

So, when I say this to you...My heart still skips a beat when I see this man...I mean it.

I heard the other day that love is not everything in a marriage and I agree...It is just the topping.

Everything else takes time and work to get perfect...
