Because You All Need to Know

Dear World,

It is not often enough that we are able to publicly declare, brag, or shout from the rooftops how great of a partner we have. Since this is my blog, and I get to write about whatever it is that I feel like- I am going to take this opportunity as one of those rare moments to boast about how I have the world's best husband.

After almost five years of marriage and ten years of a dedicated partnership I can honestly share that I still look forward to coming home from work and spending my evenings with Justin. I love that we are still goofy kids who can be found chasing one another around the house, laughing hysterically at each other's lame jokes and flirting like we did back in the eighth grade. We could be out to dinner at the most fancy restaurant or eating spaghettios on the couch and still I would be content because I was sharing that moment with him. As much as his goofiness can sometimes wear on my nerves when I am trying to be serious, I am always a sucker for his innocence. Everyday I try to remind myself not to take him or our relationship for granted.

I know that what we have is rare.

As I have made my way through nine months of pregnancy, each day has been a reminder to me of just why I married Justin. Without missing a step, he has stood beside me the entire way- comforted me on my bad days, offered massages on my really bad days, and brought me Dairy Queen on my worst of days. He has made me feel beautiful when my pants no longer button, helped me out of bed when I could not roll over, and motivated me when I was too tired to move.

-

I cannot wait to start this new chapter in life side-by-side my best friend.

I wish he knew what I already know.

And that is:

He is going to be the most amazing father in the world.

Loving Justin is the most easy thing that I have ever done.

Thank You Justin

(because I know you are reading this)

For choosing me, sticking with me, and loving me unconditionally.

It is the best feeling in the world and I cannot wait for our daughter to feel it too.
