Ten years....

Yes, today is Valentine's Day and no, I'm not that type of girl that gets worked up over this holiday. Chris normally asks me what I want and I always follow with nothing. I'm not the type of girl that has to be shown love on a certain day. If you love me, then tell me everyday.. just don't wait for Valentine's Day.

In a few days, four to be exact, Chris and I will celebrate ten years of marriage. Ten whole years of marriage. Ten years of the exact same thing day in and day out. Our love is not a surprising love, It's a love that we know will be there day after day. Chris keeps his feet totally on the ground.. I like to keep my feet on the ground as well, but I also like to keep my head in the clouds. I can say that after ten years he is the same person that I married on that cold February evening. He is solid, he keeps his business to himself, and he stands by me when I'm not so solid. He doesn't put up a fuss for what he wants, he doesn't throw a fit and sure doesn't let emotions take over. He is as solid as a brick wall. At times, it is so very frustrating for him to be so sold and routine. I have to be honest, and say that I am grateful for him being that solid partner. I do believe Chris was put in my path for numerous reasons, but most of all for being a solid spouse. God knew that I was not a solid person and he knew that I needed Chris to keep my balance in this forever changing world.
