All you need is LOVE!

I am thankful for my husband.  He accepts me for my good and my bad. He loves my bad habits, my mood swings, even the dinner I burned, and he loves me unconditionally. He asks for nothing in return except for my devotion.  On September 22 2012, in front of family, friends and God we made a promise to each other to always love each other.

 He is my workout buddy.  He is my pig-out-on-junk-food partner. He is my best friend.  He is my husband. We love watching sports together, and going on adventures.  I couldn't have created someone more perfect for me if I tried.  He was created for me and I was made for him.

We met at West Virginia University and both worked at Bent Willey’s Bar.  After he graduated West Virginia and moving back to NJ we took some time apart.  Of course we found our way back to each other.  We have been together for almost 9 years. He moved to Maryland and found a job and we bought a house.  Sometimes I don’t think I give him the credit he deserves for making this huge commitment, and taking a chance.  He moved away from family, friends and the home where he grew up, all to be with me.  I cannot wait to grow old together. To raise a family and to watch him be the great father I know he will be.  He already is a great partner and provider.  He wakes up every day and takes the bus an hour to and from work each way.  He makes a 2 hour commute just so we can save money, to have other nice things.  I know this has to be a daily strain to commute this way.  He has already been so selfless in his sacrifices he has made for our future.  Things like moving to Maryland and even “little” things like his commute to save money aren’t so little to me.  They are examples of his character.

  

He listens to my bad days at work.  He supports my dreams, even if they seem impossible to most.  Even when my dreams seem impossible to me, when I have self-doubt he reminds me that I can accomplish any dream, and he reminds me that most importantly he believes in me and will be there by my side. He is my support while I am managing to go to school and work full time. I confide in him all my thoughts, secrets, and aspirations.  He never judges me.  He never makes me feel ashamed of who I am or what I want to be.  He truly loves me unconditionally.  I thank God everyday for giving me this man to call my husband.  I don’t know how I could go through life without him.

When the world seems crazy and at times impossible I just take a deep breath and know I will get through whatever obstacle life throws at me because I have him by my side.
