I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged,
but I’ve just been busy with life. Work
and school seem to be getting the best of me, so when I get home at night I
don’t even feel like cooking dinner or taking a shower, much less
blogging. I am so exhausted. I have started again with the no soda (I was
off the wagon for a couple weeks) so I’m back to being in a bitchy mood and
popping Ibuprofen every.single.day like it’s my job. It’s hard enough to keep up on school, the
house, the dogs, my husband, my friends, my family…..so my weight loss and
blogging has been on the back burner for a while. I know what you all are thinking…..someone
call the wwhhaambulance.
I have mainly just been blog-stalking my favorite
bloggers (I’m looking at you Holly, Kayla, and Amber!) to keep up with their
lives. I know. I’m pathetic.
I don’t want Hubby Jack’s nice work to go to waste,
so I will try to get back to blogging on the regular. I just feel like no one reads my posts
(except my hubby) so I don’t really see the point. But it seems to be therapeutic for me and
something fun for me to do, so I am definitely going to try and keep on top of
it.
Anyway…back to the post for today…HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY HUBBY!!!
Two years ago today we were married on a perfect fall
day. We got married in his hometown in a
small church, and had our reception at a nearby banquet facility. Everything was fall themed: the colors, the
decorations, the food, everything.
Our
cake was a spice cake with cream cheese frosting and it was AMAZING. So amazing that we didn’t even get a
piece—just the small bite we fed each other.
But we did save our top layer and ate it exactly one year later. And yes, it was still good!
We didn’t take a honeymoon after we were married
because we were too broke from the wedding and didn’t really have enough
vacation time saved up from work. But
one year later we celebrated by going on a Caribbean cruise to Jamaica, Mexico,
and the Cayman Islands. It was the trip
of a lifetime. I want to go back!!! It was so nice. In all of our years together we had never
really been on a “real” vacation.
I feel like our marriage has matured so much in just
these two short years, and my love for him grows stronger each and every
day. I can’t believe in December it will
be 10 years since we met, but it seems like just yesterday!! I guess time really does fly when you’re
having fun! ;) I was only 17, still in high school, and he
was 20. We’ve had some rocky times, but
we have stood by each other through thick and thin. On September 24th, 2010, after 8
years of dating, he (finally!!) popped the question, and we were married a year
later. There is a lot more to our love
story, so if you guys want, I can do a few posts on that. It’s pretty interesting to say the least ;)
He is truly my better half, and he is the best
husband I could have ever asked for. Do
I want to kill him sometimes? Yes. But I try to see all the good and just let
the petty stuff roll off my shoulders. I
have learned that in marriage you definitely
have to choose your battles. I know he
sometimes wants to kill me too. I will
be the first to admit, I’m not the easiest person to love, but he still does,
unconditionally. It is SO easy to love
Justin. He is so kind and considerate,
and he is completely selfless. He is a
friend to everyone and would do anything for anybody. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world.
