Why I love my husband.

I know that most of the time, I usually write about my children. I mean, they're whom I spend the majority of the day with and let's be real, they say and do some hilarious things. So, it makes sense to write a lot about them. However, there also is someone else who is very important in my life, my awesome hubs, Keith.

I was very lucky to have met my soulmate at a young age. I went through a few duds and life lessons and like a breath of fresh air, in walks this attractive, self confident man who turned my life around for the better. He showed me what a real man should be. How a woman should be treated and how a healthy relationship functions. Just over a year of dating, we were engaged and 4 months later, we were husband and wife.

Our first year of marriage was not like what you hear. It wasn't super hard but we did have our/my (lets be real, mostly me) challenges living with and learning the ins and outs of a relationship. (And learning to deal with the mans obsessive sports watching) I didn't grow up seeing a lot of healthy relationships. Actually, I can only think of a few that I would even think of as role models. So, a lot of this first year was trial and error. It was a great year though.

Keith and I have a great friendship. We are best friends and I love to spend time with him. We also are great communicators. Talk when we need to express something and listen as well. I love that about my husband because I do A LOT of talking. Outsiders would see our marriage and question some of the ways we are. I love to take care of my hubs. Call me old fashioned but I love to cook him dinner, make sure the house is tidy when he comes home and make him special treats. I also thank him for things. Most of the time he says, why are you thanking me, but I just do it cause I love him. I'm return, he thanks me when I do things for him. Most of all, we respect each other.

As we approach our 6th year of marriage and soon our 3rd state of residence, I still to this day, love him just as much as I did the day I laid eyes on him those short 7 years ago. We have been through so much together and yet, we have so much more to experience. I still get excited for him to come home and nothing makes me love him more than seeing him love our 2 beautiful children.

I hope that everyone finds their soulmate in life. Someone who will ride with you through the hard times and fun times and be there for you unconditionally. Someone who still gives you butterflies in your tummy thinking of them.
