May 29 Wedding Anniversary

Today I celebrate one of two anniversaries. Today is my wedding anniversary. I am thankful for the life I have shared with Chris. I appreciate his devotion and faithfulness of our relationship. We have been together for richer and much poorer. I appreciate the friends and family who have supported our relationship and I even appreciate the naysayers and those who have tried to keep us apart. You have made us stronger.

We had all kinds of drama go on my wedding day and through it all we still stood our ground, and celebrated our love. And to add to that drama. Recently, I found out that on my wedding day my estranged father-in-law told Chris not to marry me because it was a big mistake and he can still get out of the situation. I was fuming with anger when I found out. What a d***! Chris said it made him mad and he just ignored him after that. Then Chris told me he didn't care what his dad thought, he wasn't around for most of his life, and he thought it was better if he wasn't involved with our kids. Then I felt bad cause I know for him as his son, he must of been emotionally disturbed by his own past, like I was mine. I'm glad I never went out my way to be cool with his dad. But I'm not mad anymore. I am very fortunate things turned out the way they did. Even through difficult times from both our childhoods we have learned from our father's mistakes and for that I'm grateful. Our kids have never asked about him so that makes me feel like they have more than enough paternal love from our family and friends. Especially now, with so many supportive uncles, those marrying in Mike, Andrew, Rick, (and have helped us financially at times) and our best friends who have played uncles to my kids since birth and still visit often (Bryan, John D, Lorenzo, Zaragoza). We are blessed. Thanks guys!

Chris is wonderful. He makes me laugh everyday, still to this day. He is handsome, kind hearted, generous, affectionate, and loving. We have our sharing loving moments much more than we have our mad moments. I know people change in relationships but so far we have continued to grow together. I hope we continue to grow together. Thank you so much to those who have supported us. Bless you!
