Valentines Day
I had a wonderful Valentimes Day with my husband. Because of our snowstorm, he got to spend the day at home, although, so did our son.
But we took our son to my Mom's house and went out to dinner. We had awesome conversation about some very personal subjects. I enjoy conversations with my husband, they are always intelligent, humorous, and fun. Well, MOST of them are..... LOL. We had a great dinner, and after went tp pick up the kid, put him in bed EARLY, and we had some alone time. It has been a very long time for that... and I have missed it so much.
My husband and I work well together... we " click" in so many ways. Sometimes I feel that we were destined to be together. Of course, when things turn sour, they get downright nasty... we have THAT ability too. I guess both of us are passionate people, with strong wills and hard heads. We used to clash all the time, but as the years have gone by we seem to have settled into each other, and now only have a few minor flare ups.
I really can not imagine a life without him in it. He is a good man... and a great father. Most of all I think we have a frienship that our marriage is founded on.
I hope we celebrate many more Valentines Days to come.......
And I want to live in Michigan...... WHY ?
As I sit here, freezing INSIDE , with windchills 15 to 20 below zero, and watching the snow fly, sometimes with zero visibility... I wonder what it was that made me want to move back to my home state so badly. I LOVE Michigan springs and summers, the thunderstorms, and the warm, even muggy, nights... but the winters ? Um... NO. NOT EVEN A LITTLE !!! Don't get me wrong. I used to live for winter, when I could ski, and go sledding, and all the other outdoor sports... but I don't ski anymore ( bad knees ) , and its been years since I have gone sledding, the last time I went ice skating my feet hurt for days... lol. So why do we stay ? I guess it's because it is home. It is because this is where family is, it is the place my son knows , the place we all feel grounded, and despite the winters with the frigid temps and the snow, those things make it worth staying. Maybe some day, when we are too old to endure the harshness of a Michigan winter we will head south to deal with the hurricanes and floods... but for now, I will sit inside and watch the blizzard-like conditions we are experiencing today.....and be thankful for home.....
Happy Anniversary.....
February 2, 1996. The day my new life began. The day I married the man I love, the man who is my best friend, my soulmate, the father of my son. The man I plan to spend the rest of my life with, and beyond. Our life together hasn't always been easy, we haven't always loved each other equally, in fact, we came close to divorce . I thank God every day for giving us a second chance. Most people would have folded and given up with some of the things we have gone through, but here we are.... 11 years later, and still together. And even though I don't tell my husband on a daily basis what is in my heart... it is always there. I love him... more each day. It is as simple as that. He is a good man, he works hard, he loves us, he takes care of us, and he is always here...always. We have a good marriage now. But it has taken us a long time to get here. It has been a rocky road, but I do not think I would change one day of it. If I changed even one second we would not be the people we are right now, together, or apart.
I love you honey, thank you, for giving me the best part of you. For giving me the last 11 1/2 years... for the memories.. good AND bad.... and for the memories I look forward to in the future.
I love you with all my heart and soul.
