Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you

The other day someone asked me how long Ryan and I have been together and it seriously took me about five minutes to figure it out. I still don't know if I gave the right answer. I feel like Ryan and I have just always "been". And of course its not true but my husband just gets me and has since I met him, even when we were just friends. He never tried to change who I was or what I was doing. He always just liked ME. Which made it that much easier to fall in love with him. Im pretty sure I fell first cause man oh man did he have some baggage to take on when he signed up with me :) He is my best friend, my lover, and sanity and I am so honored to be his wife.



With all that said tomorrow marks our one year anniversary of being married and to be honest I feel like a "one year anniversary" doesn't do justice to the last year of life that we have lead. We got married, bought a car, bought a house, had a baby, bought another car, and worked our asses off to get to a place of comfort and normalcy in a life and world that is hectic and demands so much. Through all of that my husband remained the calm, strength that I needed and continues to be that and so much more on a daily basis.



He has my whole heart for my whole life. I can say that with the utmost confidence and certainty and that is more then I could have ever dreamed of.
