After you have been with someone for ten years, does some of the shine start to fade? Does routine take over passion, and companionship replace romance? I'd like to think not, and tonight I was proven right. Tonight, despite my messy ponytail, the dirty dishes, and the piles of laundry, my husband looked at me with wide eyes, and said "you are so beautiful."
How he thinks this, I do not know. I am constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and lets face it, I need to shave my legs more often. The house is a wreck, the kids are screaming, and I'm an emotional disaster. How would you handle that? Well that's why I am feeling lucky tonight. Despite everything I thought I would be, and everything I think I'm not, my husband sees me for who I actually am. Everyday I question my choices. The choices I make as a mom, a wife, and a woman. Somehow, Nick sees past all that. We have been together since I was twenty, and we have grown into the people we are today, together. I guess it makes sense that he is able to recognize my crazy for what it is, and still see me for who I am, but it's hard to believe. The fact that he can, is absolutely and undeniably beautiful.
