5 years.

It's amazing to me to have found a forever love.

A love that I know regardless will always be there.

I have no worries.

I have no doubts.

I know that my Husband truly and unconditionally loves me.

No, really, he does!

He has loved me at 265 pounds and he has loved me at my current weight {still rockin' 160}.

He has loved me at my sickest and he has loved me at my best.

He has stood by my side through everything we have faced in these past five years.

Cheers to many more years together babe...

It's not something I talk about much here on the blog but today is a special day.

Five years ago today Kevin and I made our relationship "official."

You know like boyfriend and girlfriend and changing our relationship status on Facebook and all that jazz.

Big things people.

A little over five years ago was a really hard time in my life.

Loss of friendships, a failed marriage, all while working full time and trying to take care of my daughter.

So as corny as it sounds I went to Myspace bored and lonely searching around for people like me, not even specifically men.  Just a friend.  Preferably a single parent who was going through the same things I was.

Kevin was the first profile to pop up.  I remember what caught my eye was his bright orange shirt he was wearing in his profile picture.

So I clicked on his picture, searched around his page, and found out we had some mutual friends.

So I got up the courage and sent him a message honestly expecting him to think I was nuts, never message me back, and that would be the end of it.

Little did I know that five years later that message would be the best decision I have ever made for my life.

In that time we have faced many highes and just as many lows but through it all we have survived and come over the other side better than we were.

When I tell you I love you I don't say it out of habit or to make conversation. I say it to remind you that YOU are the BEST thing that has ever happened to me.
