Nine Years

This week Christopher and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. 9 years is a long time but it really flew by. This coming February we have been with each other for TEN YEARS! Now that is a long time! Words cannot even express how much I love Chris. I am terrible with words, (if you read my blog you obviously know that I can't write) I have loved these past 9 years. I remember when we were dating and how new, exciting and fun it was. I remember our first date and how weird it was because he was actually a gentleman and I had never been treated like that before. He would buy me flowers all the time, and open my door. He still does that. About once a month he buys me flowers, just because. He is so kind, so sweet and hilarious. He frustrates me with all the teasing and tormenting, but I would be sad if I didn't have it. He takes the best care of me! I'm an expensive lady and all my needs are met. He pushes me to become better. He encouraged me to go to school. He believes in me and wants to help me when ever I need the help. He doesn't get mad when I am in trouble. Like the one time in the middle of the night I got my car stuck in a rock pit and I called him crying because I was so scared he would be mad at me, but he wasn't. He came to the rescue and got me unstuck, without getting upset about it one bit. . He tries his best to make me happy when I am sad, and comforts me when I am scared. He makes me laugh till I almost pee my pants, and he throws me around like a rag doll until I get mad. He thinks I am beautiful even if I look like a beast in the mornings. He loved me when I gained weight, lost it, and gained it again. This year has been especially hard for us. Chris lost his job, I had to go to Rhode Island unexpectedly, my grandpa died, fertility stuff went down the drain and some other personal situations happened that I will not mention. These last 6 months have been so hard with Chris out of work. But I would not change any of it. We have had each other through it all. We are still happy even when times suck. I know that he will be the best kind caring funny dad when we have kids. And I cannot wait for us to become parents. It hurts me that we can't have kids yet. We have had 9 years to get to know each other unlike newly weds who get pregnant right away. We have experiences and a certain relationship because it has just been the two of us the last 9 years.I should be nicer to him but I am grouchy and sassy all the time. Props to the man who can deal with a woman like me for 9 years. Bring on many more years of my crazy!
