******note: our anniversary is the 6th but I can't stay up any longer to publish this thing on the right date, so just go with it!******
Albeit not in the same house, or town, or state for that matter. But, thats nothing to phase us. We are still celebrating 10 great years of wedded life, Cooner and I. And I know many of you reading this probably thought it would never happen with everything we have been given to overcome but, what can I say he makes up for my short comings and I for his, perfectly and it works, we works.
I don't think many guys could put up with me, and I recognize and accept this. You have to be a strong man to deal with my passionate way of living life, my colorful life in general, my all or nothingness, and non-stop brain full of ideas! hee hee. I am pretty strong willed and determined, and really lack skills in the patience area but, Jason is the exact opposite, he can sit back and let me "freak out," go all or nothing on one of my crazy ideas, and because of the qualities that attracted me to him first, his strength and confidence, he is totally ok with it all, even actually enjoys it I think, gives him more to tease me about. We hardly never waste time arguing, can't remember the last time we even did, and have had only a handful of fights and when we do, he always lets me win, so that works out great! HAH!
Thank you for putting up with ten years of that Jace! What we have first and foremost is a strong friendship, the same strange sense of humor, and the ability to just "be" with each other and be ok with that. I have been stranded in a hotel room for a month, hundreds of miles from anyone we knew, about to do the most amazingly terrifying thing I have ever done in my life, with him and we both came out alive. We have overcome so much in these 10 years that was not always the perfect life thrown at us, and we did it together, with very little help of anyone else because, no one we knew could ever know what it felt like to be in our shoes.
And 10 years later look what we have, a marriage that survives the miles time and time again, the 2 most amazing kids on the planet, and just over all a blessed and fun life.
Happy 10'er Cooner Love You!
