I have learned the secret of love in these past two years. I never knew the secret and was far from knowing it when I entered our marriage. When life gets crazy and the hard days come (which they do), that romantic comedy- kiss in the rain- kind of love, does not get you through them. It's a deeper love...an unconditional, committed beyond compare, loyal to no ends, in your innermost parts, love that gets you through the storms and the bumps in the road big or small.
I made a vow and a commitment to love Jon until the day I die and will do this despite our stubbornness, pride, complete opposite personalities and interests, and annoying habits. No argument is too big or too many. Marriage is work- We work every day to communicate better, laugh more, let go more, and compromise more.
Some of my favorite things about my husband:
1. Jon is always positive. He always laughs things off and turns things into a positive light.
2. Jon knows that words are my love language and feeds me those words in a variety of ways every day.
3. Jon is a really good listener and always gives feedback that reassures you he was listening. Unless he is people watching or playing a video game. Then you have to grab his face and say look at me! ;)
4. Jon never complains.
5. Jon plays with our kids and puts a focus and emphasis on 'family' which is important to both of us. I love watching him spend his free time with our kids- playing teacher, wrestling, riding bikes, jumping on the trampoline.
6. Jon wakes up saying I love you and goes to bed saying I love you. And when he says it, every time I know he genuinely means it.
We are celebrating 2 years together on the 27th. We plan on celebrating this weekend. What crazy person gets married in July in Texas? This girl :)
Our photographer told Jon to kiss my forehead and it was a hot, sweaty mess. What else can you do but laugh ;)
