I know a lot of people say they married their best friend, but I really did.
We were friends first.
We met when I was 15. So many memories hanging out in his driveway.
Started dating at 23.
Bought a house together at 25.
Engaged at 26.
Married at 28.
I can honestly say that we are friends first. We get along so well. We complement each other.
I'm super rigid and Type A.
He's super laid back and Type F (haha, I mean, Type B)
It just works.
I've always said that when we're 90 years old, I want to still laugh with him like I do now. I want to sit in our recliners, holding hands, laughing our asses off at something.
Here's a quote that his sister Lisa read at our wedding, 11 years ago that still rings so true for us today:
It is often said that it is love that makes the world go round. However, without a doubt, it is friendship that keeps our spinning existence on an even keel. True friendship provides so many of the essentials for a happy life - it is the foundation on which to build an enduring relationship, it is the mortar that bonds us together in harmony, and it is the calm, warm protection we sometimes need when the world outside seems cold and chaotic. True friendship holds a mirror to our foibles and failings, without destroying our sense of worthiness. True friendship nurtures our hopes, supports us in our disappointments, and encourages us to grow to our best potential.
Happy anniversary to my one and only.
