Who, being loved, is poor?

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.  - Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally

That is beyond true for me, and anyone else who has been blessed enough to find the one their soul loves.

When Aaron proposed to me, I smiled non-stop for a month. He completely blind sided me; Probably because he was 17 and I was 18. We were kids, which makes it even more fabulous that we found the right person in each other.

Let me tell you about my husband. He throws his dirty clothing on the floor next to the hamper, he does not refill the toilet paper, and he leaves drinking cups next to his chair. He drives me bonkers. Yet, I love him him more than anything in the world, and I miss him when he's working. He gets on me about the routes I take while driving, whines about how long it takes me to buy a pair of jeans, and stomps his feet like a child every time we go grocery shopping. Yet, I still drag him with me everywhere I have to go. I enjoy his company, his outlook on life, and everything else about him. He is my favorite person in the world. Just having him walk through the door makes me smile, and that's an amazing feeling.

No matter the messes we get ourselves into (and hopefully out of), the drama that may surround us, too much money, not enough money, car problems, health problems, any problems; He is my best friend, my rock, and my solace.

I can speak his praises, and complain about him for hours on end; but I'll spare you. I'll just say that no matter how angry he can make me, and how much extra work he creates for me, I adore waking up to his groggy face every morning.

I'd say 'I do' again, every day of the week. Just sayin'.
