Not that you asked but....

Today is going to be a mushy post. Sorry if you don't want to hear about it, skip over this entry. I doubt anyone really reads these anyway. I just wanted to write about my favorite person, my husband. Aaron and I met just as my first semester of college was ending. I was 18 and he was 21. We did not meet in a particularly glamorous way, we were both drunk at a party. I was young and a bit wild at the time and he was perfect (or so I thought). My first thought upon seeing him was "Damn, it's a shame I'll probably never see him again. He is cute!" I fell in love with him almost right away. To make a long story short our relationship for the first year and a half or so was very rocky. We went through a few breakups and hard times but we got through them. I stayed persistent and even though he wasn't ready yet I stuck with him through it all. It paid off. After he made his biggest mistake and I thought we had broken up for good he pulled it together and won me back. We have been together for over 5 years now and married for almost a year and a half. Aaron has been the best husband ever. I secretly wonder if he still feels guilty for some of the things that went on between us and is forever trying to make up for it. I had always scoffed at people that said "Find some one that treats you like a princess." I thought 'yeah right, like that is realistic'. But Aaron does. He makes me feel like the center of his universe and he feels like the center of mine. He is so good to me I often feel like it is more then I deserve. He would move mountains just to make me happy. In fact I think that everything he does, he does it to make me happy. I am happy. He makes me very happy. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make me smile and laugh. I never thought marriage was supposed to be easy. In fact everyone always tells you it's really hard and it takes a lot of work to stay together. Well perhaps we got all of the hard stuff out of the way while we were dating because to be honest my marriage is easy. We get into fights but its so painful for both of us to be mad at one another that we give it up after a short period of time. The time we have been married has been the happiest time in my life. The only thing that makes either of us unhappy is not being able to spend more time together. Maybe it all has something to do with how we are. Aaron and I have some similarities but we have an even balance of things that are very different about us. I am pretty negative, sometimes a bit up tight, aggressive, and am very grounded. I like to think I always take a realistic view on things. Aaron, however, is always positive, bubbly, laid back, happy go lucky if you will. He is slightly whimsical and a little less realistic. These differences in traits allow us to get along very well. What also makes our marriage easy is that we are best friends. It's true. We tell each other everything and we never run out of things to talk and laugh about. Then there is the love. We are truly and unconditionally in love. I was at work and Aaron was there doing clinical for his class. We met up in the hallway just to get a chance to see one another. My co-workers were around. We got to see each other for a few short minutes and and then he had to go. After he left my co-workers tell me how it sickens them the way we look at each other. I was a bit confused. I asked what they meant. They said we looked all "googly" eyed at one another. They said they have never seen two people look at one another with such love. It was odd cause neither of us really notice. We still give each other butterflies, even though its not all the time, they are still there and fly around from time to time. There is so much more I could express about him but there isn't enough space to tell you everything that I find wonderful about him. So I guess you are probably wondering why I am telling (what few people might actually read this) you this. I have so many friends that are single or waste their time on "waste of space" guys. I want to say, there is no "one" person out there for you. There are people willing to make you happy everyday. There are no soul mates. There are guys that you can be best friends with and your personalities will compliment one another. There are guys out there that will love you just for who you are. Please don't settle for anything less. There are guys out there that will really and truly treat you like a princess and I am so lucky that I found mine. Aaron and I are perfect together. I love him more then words can express. My marriage is easy and fun. And I truly believe that everyone can find their "Aaron". So just know that they are out there and I am so lucky to have found mine. My best friend. My love. My life. My Aaron.
