1460 Days Later

Today marks four years since the Hubs and I tied the knot.

While those years haven't always been easy, they have been totally worth it. Every day I get to live and enjoy life with my best friend and I don't think it gets any better than that. With each second that ticks by that we are together I become more and more aware of how lucky I am to have found someone to ride the waves out with.

Now to address the skeptics out there who proclaimed our marriage wouldn't last because we'd only dated for a few months…

You were right – we got married too soon. We were still sowing our oats and didn't know each other nearly well enough. We were young, wild and impetuous. The first year was a lot like smoking a cigar while wearing a gasoline-soaked suit and trying not to catch on fire. There were tempers flaring, arguments had and lot and lots of dirty makeup sex. There were times we thought about smothering each other while we slept or dropping a toaster into the bathtub.

At the end of the day, though, we made it. We got past those rocky parts, grew up together and discovered how wonderful life together could be. In those 1460 days we have moved, bought a house, adopted three dogs and started our own business. Life is hectic and little scary at times, but it has also never been better.

So to those doubters and haters out there, I have two words: SUCK IT.

And to my darling husband, I say: Thank you for being the person who gets to put up with my shit.
