11 Years

Today marks the 11 year anniversary that wife D and I started dating. I'm 30 years old. That's right, I've been with my wife since I was 19 years old. WOW. That's one of those things, that you know, but you sorta "realize" it better when you see it written down like that.

11 years ago at 12:30am while we were sitting on the couch at her old job, I asked her to be my gf. LOL I would have given her my letter jacket if I'd had one. LOL It was just that cheesy. That was a long time ago, and it makes me realize just how much my wife and I have been through. So many ups and downs, twists and turns. I couldn't think of a better person to have spent those last 11 years with.

I knew from the moment I first saw her in person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with her. There really was no doubt about that in my mind. I remember when I first saw her, I literally thought to myself...I can get rid of the little black book...LOL Turns out I should have kept it, but only so that the two of us could share it. LOL

See, that's just how my relationship with wife D is. It's not all gushy romantic all the time. We're more about humor and the absolute FACT that we're meant to be together. We both know this like we know we need the air to breath. It just IS, you know? That's why, no matter how big the argument, no matter how many times the bags have been packed, I've always known that we'd get through it. That we'd work it out because without her, there is no me. No, I'm not being gushy (ok, maybe a little) I'm just stating facts. I'm destined to be with her, like Hancock and Mary. We were built as a pair, with an uncanny ability. To love others. Enter, Lori, and wife M...but they are for other blogs.

To wife D, who I know reads this. I love you so very much and I thank you for each day that we've spent together. They have enriched my life like no other way possible and I'm so thankful to have those cherished memories. I love you now and forever. :)
