11 years


11 years together.  It seems surreal.  When I imagined the idea spending this long with someone, I don't think I had Jeremy in mind.  Not because I didn't want that, just that it wasn't in the cards.  And then, it was.  Life has a funny way of unfolding and helping us learn things.  Over the past year I have learned so much about myself.  And in that, my relationship with Jeremy.  Like any couple, we have our struggles.  But we figure it out.  It's the three words we know.  We figure it out.  We don't give up on each other.  We're stubborn for each other.  We're stuck with each other lol.  I love that about us.  We've had two 11th hour moments.  One outside of our marriage.  The reconcile is what brought about this day.  We originally got together December 5, 2005.  But that was Girl child's birthday and that wasn't fair.  So when we came back together, today is what we came up with...and then Today, the song came on.  So...Today also became our new song.  And then recently, an 11th hour.  A misunderstanding could have been a catastrophe.  But by then, too much anger would have transpired.  But again, we stopped.  Because, we figure it out.  We are that person for each other.  That one best friend that gets the history, the story.  Even when we haven't gotten each other, we figured it out.  And this last year, we learned how to appreciate our differences so we could appreciate our similarities.  We love each other.  And it's a beautiful love story.  It's a comical love story.  It's a love story with depth.  Here's to 11 years.
