I am sure I have better pictures of us but this one does the trick. I could have chosen one of my grandparents because they have always been there for me. When I was a teenager my mother had a falling out with her family and for over 5 years I didn't see them. I chose my husband because he was the first person I let all the way in, in to my heart, in to my mind, and in to my secrets. The truth is that when I left my mother's house I had never felt more alone and I never wanted to feel discardable again. Before Rob I was utterly afraid of getting close to people. I was a horrible broken mess when I met Rob over ten years ago. I never slept except in short cat naps. I had horrible nightmares and frankly I was afraid to sleep. Even in the beginning I felt safe enough with him that I would sleep for a couple of hours at a time. Thanks to him now I get cranky without 8+ hours of nightly rest. He is my best friend, he has always supported me, and is the reason I have blossomed into the person I am today. I am looking forward to growing old with him. He is the foundation to our life. I love him more everyday.
I wish I could be more open about myself but it is extremly hard for me. I am hoping that I get better as the days go by.
You are doing a great job! And I love the fact you wear your craziest socks to the doctors apts! And I am so jealous that you can cook without following the recipes!
