Happiest anniversary to the most amazing man, I love you because you are strong, funny, loving, smart, kind and a really good kisser!
On anniversary posts, some people share all they’ve been through, the ups and the downs but most of you know those ups and downs from my blogs or small town gossip. Truth is, we aren’t looking back because we aren’t going back there, right? We know where we’ve been, we know what we’ve overcome, we know the ups and downs..I’ve had the time to reflect and be grateful for the turmoil. It may sound weird but I’m thankful for the last 4 years- our marriage was good by all accounts, we had fun, laughed, and had great times- we loved one another very much. What we didn’t do is talk openly, honestly, call one another on our bullshit, hold one another accountable and talk about the hard things- we skimmed over those because frankly, it’s easy. The last 4 years we had to face the hard stuff head on, we had to believe, trust and love ourselves or we would have never made it back to one another in a healthy way. We wouldn’t have had the opportunity of a do-over, we wouldn’t be celebrating 14 years of marriage today or be on this journey of life. We’ve both put in the personal work needed to be the best individuals we can be and along the way, we found our way back to one another. I share this not for kudos but for those of you who are in a mostly good marriage who are looking for something more fulfilling. I’m not suggesting an addiction is going to save your marriage or enrich it, I’m purely saying, look deeper- have the difficult conversations, decide what you truly want from life and start the groundwork within yourself to make it happen.
Happy anniversary my love, I’d literally bust my ass for you again and again..psst, I fell on these rocks and busted my ass on our hike!
