Two Incredible Years

Today is my second wedding anniversary. It just perplexes me how fast time passes. When I was little, a year seemed like an eternity. Now, as I aproach 31 years, it passes in the blink of an eye. Well, I suppose when you've only been alive for 8 years, a year is 1/8 of your entire life! Perhaps that's why I see it differently now...

My husband is truly my best friend. We laugh at the same things, cry at the same things, view the world similarly, and both serve the Lord. We really are like two peas in a pod. As Ted's mother remarked one evening as the two of us were chortling at a sci-fi original movie:

"You two deserve each other!" (Ted's mom isn't a big fan of sci-fi and thinks it's hilarious that the two of us love it so much)

Now don't get me wrong, marriage hasn't been a bucket of fun ALL the time. It's much more work than I had invisioned. I've found that dying to myself and my selfish desires hasn't been easy. Thinking about another person before I think of myself hasn't been easy either. But my husband has shown me how to do that so awesomely and lovingly that it's become so much easier for me to do it myself. :-)

Ted cooks, cleans the bathrooms for me (which I utterly despise), supports me in my professional aspirations, is starting a multi-million dollar software company, and makes me laugh all the time. What more could I really ask for? When the two of us are old and decrepid in a nursing home together, we'll still be giggling and chortling watching sci-fi in the lounge area and some little old lady will walk by and remark,

"You two deserve each other!"

Which is exactly the way I would want it to be.
