He was always the "cute" guy. All the girls loved him. Including me. But he is a very handsome man now. I don't feel worthy of such a catch. Not only is he handsome but he makes me laugh, he's brings me flowers for no reason, and he helps me paint my toenails. (No I'm not being sarcastic...and no I'm not making this up) He is my best friend and will soon be the father our little boy. He is a wonderful husband. He truly knows how to take care of me. He is so loving and considerate and romantic. I didn't know men like him still existed in this world. That is why I packed up and moved back for him. There was no way I was going to let someone else swoop him up. I don't know if you'd call it fate or 2nd chances or just sheer luck but something brought us together and whatever that is...I'm thankful for it. We are perfect for each other. Might sound cheesy but it's true. I've never had another person understand me the way that he does. I feel like I can just be myself. Although it has taken me awhile to embrace who "myself" truly was.
People that knew me before may think that i'm different now that I'm married and have a family or just different from before I (re) met my husband but that person was never me. I was trying to figure myself out and I guess there have been a few different versions of myself. But the person I am today; That's really me. No fronts. My husband knew me when I was weird and awkward. When I wasn't afraid to be silly. When I wasn't too cool. When I was free. He knew the real me. That's why it made it so easy for us to fall in love with each other. We didn't need to impress each other. We already loved each other for who we were/are. He helped me get back to that girl...just in woman form, Who knew Mr. Right was standing in front of me all those years ago! I'm glad we got together when we did though. I wasn't ready for him at 13. Hell, I wasn't ready for him at 21. Things all fell into place when they were supposed to. I can't believe how lucky I am. I'm so glad that I didn't settle for less. Everything I hoped for is actually coming true. My own real life fairy-tale. Somebody pinch me!
"Why is it that you think people get married?
Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, I mean what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything...the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...all of it, all the time, every day. You're saying... your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness." -Susan Sarandon -Shall We Dance
