I may complain and be overly paranoid about having children “this late in life,” but I know I am truly thankful for what I do have.<\/p>\n
I am thankful for, in no particular order:
\n… my family
\n… my friends – strictly online or real-life
\n… my best friend and my 2 amazing godsons
\n… you, my blog readers
\n… having a puppy snuggle my belly and a fat cat snuggle my feet every night while I sleep
\n… the few hours a day that I get to spend with Steve
\n… our weekends together
\n… my creativity
\n… my ability to walk, talk, and breathe freely
\n… having a roof over my head
\n… not being subjected to sheer misery on a daily basis at my previous job
\n… my health
\n… so much more!<\/p>\n
And certainly, I am the most thankful for my fantastic husband. We are celebrating 3 years together this Sunday, the 28th (though there is debate about that) and I couldn’t be more thankful and lucky that he came into my life. This is truly a case of kissing a lot of frogs before finding my perfect match. No, not “prince” because I, quite frankly, never wanted a prince. I wanted an equal in my life, someone that respected me, loved me, cherished me and had fun with me exactly as I am. I received all that and even more the day I agreed to meet Steve after months of emailing and IMing.<\/p>\n
The date of our anniversary is under debate as our first date had some pretty major hiccups. My friends Nichole and Miles started texting and calling frantically before I was done with my first course. It turns out their apartment complex was on fire so our date was cut majorly short. We had our second date 3 days later and that is when Steve thought the official date was. To me it will always be November 28th. <3<\/p>\n
OK, so this turned into an anniversary-type post as well. I’m still a newlywed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
