Gratuitous Gushing Ahead...
I realize that I'm not always posting about the happiest things. That has a lot to do with the way that I work through things in my life. I do better putting (issues) things out into the world and working through them with others. With that being said, I just wanted to devote this post to my blessings...mainly my husband.
The past few years have brought a lot of challenges, but I am incredibly happy to have Ben by my side to deal with them. This time last year, I wasn't sure where we would be. I am so proud of him for staying sober and working on healing himself so that we could further our relationship. Although we just lost a baby, I am thankful that we now have more time to just be married and be in love. Recently, we were able to get away for a few days to NC for Spring Break and it was awesome. Sometimes I forget to slow down and enjoy my life. Reality always slaps you in the face after vacation, but it is amazing to be with the one you love and just appreciate each other's company.
I spent a lot of my life dreaming about finding "the one." I wanted someone who could understand me...both the positives and the negatives about my personality. I feel fortunate and blessed that God decided to put Ben back into my life after college. He came along at the best possible time and I feel like he just gets me. He is the only person that I've ever dated who has genuinely made me feel beautiful and special and that he honestly loves me just the way I am. I'm so lucky to have a husband that communicates with me and makes me feel loved...no matter how crazy or fat or worn out I may feel. After almost 7 years of dating and 3 months of marriage, I'm more in love with him now than I have ever been. I am super excited to spend the rest of my life with him.
(Side note: I heard Megan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" on the radio today which got me thinking about how lucky I am to not have to date anymore and to be with the person that I have dreamed about for a long time.)
I am also incredibly thankful for my family...my parents, sister, grandparents, cousins, nephew, in-laws, and Aunts and Uncles. I am fortunate to have them all living close by and that they are all supportive during good times and bad times. Although I feel broke and hopeless at times, "I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be poor with" than my family and my husband. (I stole that quote from him.) My life is pretty awesome and it's nice to reflect on that sometimes.
I hope you are fortunate enough to have love in your life...the romantic kind or other versions. Thanks for reading and have a very happy Easter weekend!
