When Craig and I married, we just jumped in. We knew we were creating a blended family, and that it would be great at times and challenging at times. We knew that living with each other's quirks would be both pleasant and crazy, life-sucking reality. But, I love him. For some reason, he loves me. So we jumped in.
Most times, I think he's the only one who really gets me. Other times...I think the poor guy hasn't got a clue who I am inside. Still...he's the only one I really let see who that person is, whether he understands her or not. It took me a decade to grow into a woman who could be that vulnerable, but he never lets me down. I trust him with those pieces of me.
Five years later, here we are. Five years of teenagers, babies, laundry, bills, carpooling, and a few hundred spaghetti dinners...here we STILL are. And it's great :)
Happy Anniversary, Craig!
