A Challenge

There is so much running through my mind these days that it makes blogging difficult, but stumbling across the 30 Day Challenge on Kristin's lovely blog might just be the push I need. I'm joining her for this but will probably break from it time to time for Grateful Friday and other updates/random thoughts. Join us and we can get to know each other even more. [anyone know how to insert a smiley face? please walk me through it!]

So, here it goes! First up is my current relationship. Already I am smiling and feeling all lovey dovey! I married my high school sweetheart on July 15, 2006. We grew up in the same neighborhood but didn't became good friends until high school. We started "going out" in October 1999 at the very mature age of sixteen..LOL! C is my best friend, my partner in crime and the only person I want by my side if a Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. He is good with a gun AND has studied every Sylvester Stallone/Jason Statham/Jet Li movie ever made so I know he can kick ass based on that alone. ; )

We have a strong relationship and I think that is because we have always put such an emphasis on communication. I can talk his ear off, y'all. Poor guy, bless his heart! But, we're far from perfect and tend to bicker a lot. We also enjoy talking shit to each other and I know that sounds horrible but it's just teasing really, we tease each other nonstop. We don't take ourselves or our relationship too seriously so as a result, we laugh a lot. We built our relationship on a foundation of love, laughter and hope. That's the key for us...we make each other laugh, we push and challenge each other, encourage each other, hold the other up when they fall apart and thank God every night for the other.

::sigh:: He's amazing and I wouldn't trade all the sperm in the world for him.


[I just want to thank all of you so much for the sweet comments, thoughts and prayers. You guys are the best and I'm sending you all gigantic hugs and kisses.]
