Love & Marriage

Did you know I married my best friend at the young age of 20? Yup, I did. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I have to say being married to my best friend is amazing! It’s been an eventful 10 years and counting. We’ve laughed together, cried, grew our family by three kiddos and two animals, two beautiful girls, handsome boy and two fur babies. We’ve traveled the world together & will continue to add adventures any chance we get.

Let me tell you how we first met. We worked together in 2007 at a movie theater (I had just moved to Colorado Springs). I had just had surgery on my jaw and had my mouth wired shut (surprisingly he still spoke to me). We had worked one evening just the two of us. As we were waiting for a theater to clear, he asked me how to say my name. It was a very clever way to start a conversation since my name is unique. I began to tell him how to pronounce it and we kind of hit it off after that. I then asked him to go see Transformers with me for the midnight showing.

My shift ended and I waited for him to get off work so we could talk more. He got off and I tried to get his number. It wasn’t happening, therefore, I walked him to his car. He gave me his phone so I could give him my number. He must have thought I was crazy at this point. I was persistent and I got what I wanted.

We dated on and off since then. We had our differences and needed to see if it was meant to be and it was! Lucky for me!!

We got married about three years later, marriage is not always rainbows and butterflies, though. It’s harsh words, yelling, tears, not speaking to each other for a few hours or days and it’s going to bed angry. It’s about saying, “I’m sorry!” Showing and giving love, cuddles, date nights. It’s about sharing your desserts and watching television shows you don’t want to watch.

Our first argument was over a stupid receipt… do you know how silly that sounds? We argued because he threw the receipt away and I NEEDED it to balance out my checkbook (remember, I was 20). It was the silliest thing in the whole world to argue over a receipt.

Still ten years later we argue, we don’t always agree with what the other says or does but we love each other unconditionally.

We have three children together and raising them together is the easiest thing we’ve done.
