Today 6 years ago is the day that we made it unofficially official. I have to admit though that if you would have asked me where I thought we were going to be this night 6 years ago, I would have never guessed we would be here in our lives together. When we first started dating I really took everything day by day because I didn't know where our relationship was going to go, not because I didn't want it to grow into what it is today but because it had already taken us this long to even become a couple. All I knew was I really liked this man and I was glad that he finally asked me to come "hang out."
This night 6 years ago, Wally swept me off my feet. He bought me flowers and most importantly, we shared our first kiss as I was leaving to go home (at 5 a.m. after talking for hours in my car). It was one of the best kisses I have ever had in my life and I remember it still to this day just as if it was yesterday.
Through these last 6 years we have been through a lot together. Moved in together, got married, had a little girl, moved 3 times, I started school, he started school, made career choices/moves, and MUCH more. We have had many ups AND many downs as well along the way but I wouldn't change anything. Our relationship has been far from rainbows and constant sunshine but we have always come out of any difficult situation much stronger than before.
Wally has taught me so much about life, about relationships/marriage, raising children, and what I really want in my life. My father's passing left a huge hole in my heart and in my life. I didn't really know how I was going to recover from losing my father. I felt myself going further and further into depression but honestly as cliché and corny as this sounds, Wally pretty much rescued me from depression and helped me get my life and happiness back. Yes, I was still depressed after Wally and I started dating and it took a long time to get rid of the overwhelming amount of sadness that I felt after losing my father but I truly feel that Wally helped me through it because he was by my side. Wally was not only my significant other but my best friend. When I looked to someone for comfort he was there for me and I can't thank him enough for being there for me.
Wally helped me realize that I needed to do something positive in my life and to make my dad proud instead of just feeling sorry for myself (without telling me to stop feeling sorry for myself of course). I had thought for years that I should go to college, further my education, and start a career but Wally is the one who encouraged me to finally enroll in school. This man has done nothing but helped my life positively...he brings out the best in me and makes me want to strive to be a better woman every day.
We both always say that we entered into each other's lives when we needed each other the very most and at the perfect timing. I truly feel that Wally is my soul mate. Neither of us are perfect but we are perfect for each other. I couldn't pick a better person to share my life with and I feel so blessed that he is sharing his life with me. I never thought that I could fall in love with someone more and more every day but each new day brings more love for this man than I ever thought was possible. Yes, we are a normal relationship with problems just like everyone else. No, our relationship is not perfect either BUT this is still the best relationship that I have ever been in and this man treats me better than any man ever has.
Happy Anniversary "B" my love!!! Here's to many, many more years!!
