and I have to say that by the posts of congrats from people on Facebook, it's making me feel old...comments like "WOW, that's a LONG time"..and things of that sort..haha..kidding, I know people don't mean it that way...I guess...
and in writing this post, one thing I realized is that Brad and I need some new pictures of us together..that I like of myself...this is from our trip to San Antonio in December...(and I've never worn that shirt again b/c I realized in these pictures that it makes my hips look bigger, god love)
ANYWAYS, back to the matter at hand...
I've been blessed to have this man in my life for many many years...WAY before we were ever a couple, mainly due to the 7 year age difference between us cause it would have been illegal..but I had my eye on him since I was about 9...I used to swoon over him at church, but at that time, he was 16..lol...however, many years later, fate brought us together and since our first date (Feb 18th, 1993?), we've never broken up or been apart...I truly believe it was meant to be (and I truly know that I have a sixth sense or something if I picked my husband when I was nine..that's like Chaz having a crush on a girl now and they end up getting married many moons down the road..weird thinking of it that way)...
Anyhow, we've had a few bumps in the road over the years, but never anything we couldn't handle..and that's marriage...not always going to be perfect, but overall, it has been REALLY REALLY GOOD....we are team mates, "homies", partners, co-prison wardens to the kids, "lovers" (haha I HATE that word, but I guess, technically, we are..ha), best friends, etc...recently Brad told me "I have your back" about some things I was struggling with and man, that just really meant a lot to me to hear him say that...THAT'S what it is all about, I think..having each other's back...Something about knowing that as long as we have each other and things are ok between US, gives me a great sense of calm and comfort...I have to be talked off the ledge every now and then, and Brad is good at doing that for me :)
So, 16 years have gone by really fast and I hope to heck there's at least 16 more to come..actually more like 60 years, but you know what I'm saying...
Happy Anniversary Brad..I love you with all my heart :) xxxxooooxxxxooo
that IS a long time! lol but it sounds like some good ones...Congratulations!
