Today marks the 4 year anniversary for my husband and I. It's been a long fight and we are still taking on immigration but things have never been so good.
Life throws a lot of surprises at you, from unexpected friendships to new interests, I never thought in a million years I would meet the man that made me believe in love again.
This wonderful man came into my life as my friend when I was 16, he stayed by my side as I grew and we got the chance to grow together. We supported each other, laughed at the mistakes and cheered for the successes we had. He was my friend and never asked or expected more than that. He never rushed, he never pushed, in a sea of people who wanted something from me... he just wanted to be my friend. When he popped the question I was terrified but little did I know, that goofy boy I crashed around furcons with would be might knight in shining armor.
It wasn't easy. I had to learn to be a good partner, I had to learn to give more than I had and expect nothing in return because I knew he would do the same. I had to learn to be introspective so that when something was blocking our path, I could be accountable and hold myself to a higher standard. I learned it's ok to be wrong, that being right wasn't more important than being together. I learned to communicate my needs and be truly honest with myself about who I am. I learned to be his rock but to also let my fragile heart be graced by his touch. Love is the most endless emotion I have ever felt, it warms me and gives me strength I never thought possible. I am a better person, a kinder person, a more patient person, a more considerate person, a more compassionate person, because I fell for a man who strives to be the same. We make each other better and we love everything about each other. Most people say the honeymoon phase passes but I have only found new reasons to love him. The way he smiles, the way he pretends to be sleeping so I can cuddle up to him, the way he elevates those around him, I could go on and on. I love him more with every passing day and tonight, we get to go out for a lovely dinner, play in the snow, and be thankful for all the good that we brought into each other's lives when we said "I do."
For those of you who have followed me for years, this is where my life has taken me and I can't wait to share with you what comes next. Before anyone says kids... I'm spayed lol

Stay awesome.~
This reminds me of the late night talk you and I had in the lobby of the Westin during AC 2014, as I lamented the loss of my wife, and you being such a wonderful listener.
I am so happy that you have found what I had.
