I'm lucky in love!

Warning: mushy blog!



I saw this on a t-shirt the other day and realized there was supposed to be humor in it, but maybe to someone this is their life. I thought: "how sad".

Maybe all these deployments (back to back to back to back) for the last 2 almost 2 1/2 years have made me more appreciative of the things in my life. First and foremost, I am lucky to be IN love with my spouse after 12 years of marriage and 15 years of knowing and being with the same person. I can't imagine seeing any truth in that picture above in our marriage.

Can you imagine being married to someone you didn't love & respect & WANT to spend the REST of your life with? I just couldn't. Waking up beside something every day that I wasn't excited to see? Seeing that same person day after day, month after month, year after year and not even like him a little? What a wasted life!

I am a lucky girl. I'm not sure I always deserve it, but I don't take it for granted. That is for sure. I have a man in my life that takes care of me, makes me a priority in his life; respects me; makes me laugh every single day; who is the best father to my two children; who is just as invested in me as I am in him. I have a man in my life whom I trust with my entire life; whom is committed to me and I to him so much so that I moved away from everything that was familiar to me to make a life of our own together.

Simply put: I know I'm lucky a lucky girl. The game isn't over! Thank God.

Yep, you were right: mushy.

:D Glad that's the way it is with you and my little bro, though. I'd hate to have to kick him out of the family. ;P

I think it is great! I always say that about you and Scott...how awesome and amazing that you are both so still in love after all this time.

You are role models for the rest of us!

I know just what you mean. I always think how sad it is not to WANT to run home and tell your spouse everything that happened in your day. John still introduces me as his sweetheart and I love it! COngratulations on knowing you have a special thing and striving to keep it that way!

Ditto Chrysta. It would be sad to lose Scott:) You, obviously, would stay.
I love this post! And I feel pretty happy knowing I have the same game goin' on. It's downright refreshing, isn't it?
