Grow Old With Me

Together since I was only 15 and he was only 17, I am convinced that there is no love like ours. It has always been better than a love story for us, its always been perfect. We both agree that we'd rather be mad with each other, over being happy with anyone else. My husband has never held just a portion of my heart, but all of it...

I never really understood unconditional love, never put much thought into it, but I know now. When you really, really, think about unconditional love and what it means, without a doubt, I know that it is us. What we have together is the once in a lifetime, soul mates, God gave me you, kind of love. I know we both feel this way, without words, we do. I think its important to add, that just because we love each other this much, this way, it does not mean everyday is easy, and it surely doesn't mean that we don't argue.... but, every single day, battle, and struggle, is all worth it. Sometimes its easy to get caught up in the world, we forgot to stop and thank God for something that is so precious to us. I am guilty, I take my husband for granted more than I should, I know I do. Instead of being thankful, I expect what I am used to. Shame on me.

I sneakily took the photo above last Sunday at church, sometimes I do that because I do not want to forget. When I am 90 years old sitting right beside him, talking to my grandchildren about our love, I will be proud to show them photos like this, of us in Gods house where we met. You know, I really believe that. We are gonna grow old together, nothing in this world could stop us. I am 22 years old and I already know that I could die today knowing I've lived a fulfilled and happy life.... I cant wait to see what the next 60 years have in store.

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary on labor day this year, a little over 2 weeks ago, my husband gave me a card that melted my heart because it was true. The card itself said "I thank my lucky stars for you" and on the inside the sweetest little sentence he wrote had us both crying when i read it out loud... he said "I know now why they say one lifetime just inst enough" We feel that in our hearts for each other. We are so blessed that God let us find each other... and thankfully we will have more than one lifetime together.

Love my dude forever.
