Today marks my 8th wedding anniversary. So of course that means my husband is out of town.
Here's the deal: I love my husband, with all my heart.
It's be a tough road these last couple of years. I would say years six through seven and a half actually. Some ups, lots of downs, but I don't think I would trade him or those tough times for all the tea in China. Growing and changing are hard and painful, but when you can do it with someone you love, the payoff is worth so much more.
In my previous life as a journalizer I wrote two entries that still mean a lot to me...the first talks about "our song". I still to this day think it's the moment I knew I loved Chuck. The second recounts his proposal to me, on the occasion of our fourth wedding anniversary. How often do you hear the response to the words "will you marry me" being "fuck you"?
I love you honey. Thank you for being my husband, lover, and friend. Happy Anniversary.
