I have always felt blessed to be married to my best friend, but lately I guess I have been feeling extra lucky that he's mine. Marriage has its ups and downs, the days where you can't stand looking at each other, but overall it is one of God's greatest gifts.
For those of you who {really} know me, I am a stresser. And it drives me crazy. I hate that little aspect about myself. Sometimes it can be a good thing, because I am good at being extremely focused, like when it comes to working or getting a project done, I am great at it. But when life throws lemons at me, I won't be the first to tell you that my anxiety gets the best of me.
I hate big change.
I love consistency, who doesn't.
I love being in control, having everything mapped out in front of me and having a specific plan. I am the opposite of being flexible, something that I WISH I was but no matter how hard I try, I'm not, it is just who I am. My husband is the opposite, and that is what makes us a PERFECT blend. He balances me, and I balance him. Lately the word that I have been repeating and describing my husband as, is "my rock."
Tonight I was feeling extra stressed about this move (even though I absolutely can't wait to finally live in CT!) and out of nowhere he just hugged me. It reminded me of old times, before the kids came, when we were in high school, and we would hug for what seemed like eternity. It was exactly what I needed.
I love having someone who understands me, someone who knows exactly what I need and when I need it. I love it when we can just look across the room at each other and smile when the kids are throwing the world's worst tantrums and screaming. I love having that assurance that my husband knows all my quirks and failures yet isn't going anywhere. I love having someone to wake up next to, someone to lean on, someone to remind me that everything's going to be okay in the end.
He is a great leader, a hard worker, and an amazing father. So happy he is mine.
And I know I will be re-reading this post when next week comes and he does something to annoy the life out of me, haha!
Oh how I love him.
