Three rhymes with tree.

3. Describe your relationship with your spouse.

Describe my relationship with my hubby. Well, it's perfect. The end. 


Ok, ok, so I don't think anyone's relationship or marriage is perfect. And if they tell you it is then I'll be the first to tell you they're a lying sack of raw cut up dead fish that you feed to sharks. (Sorry, I'm on a shark kick today).

Pete and I are best friends. I still remember scream-singing songs by the All American Rejects in my car during the first summer we met. I remember running on three or four hours of sleep because we wanted to spend every single minute together. I remember him having to wait two years because I had all this stuff I just "had" to do before I got married. Playing soccer, always playing soccer. I remember playing hours and hours of video games together because we're just awesome like that. 

Pete is the first person that I feel like I've let actually take care of me. I've spent my life feeling like I have to be strong and take care of everyone. Growing up with just my mom and my sister and then just my grandma and my sister I feel like I'm the one who needed to make sure the doors were locked, the stove was off, and when there were creepy noises I'm the one that felt responsible to fight the burglar/rapist/creeper/boogeyman/evil demon spirit and beat it to a pulp with my big plastic crayola crayon that was the closest thing I had to a bat for a while there. Once I met Pete I felt I could actually be vulnerable and that I could break down and cry and let someone else tell me that everything was going to be okay. 

You'd think since Pete comes from such a great family he would have thought I was a freak when he met me and learned more about my family. He definitely didn't. Or maybe he did and was just super good at hiding it. Either way, he's always seemed to accept me for who I am and where I've come from.  I feel like we have a great relationship. I can honestly say that we laugh together every single day and that, to me, is what life is all about. 

I can't say that we never fight because we do. I can't say that we don't say and do mean things to each other when we're upset because we do those things too. The point is, we know that with each fight we understand that that's all it is. A fight. Something that is temporary. We know that even though we're upset and it feels like the world is gonna end we'll be fine. We still love each other and have committed ourselves to each other and that's all that really matters. 

Other things I love about him (even though that's not what the post is actually supposed to be about I don't even care!): 

When he twitches in his sleep.
When he gets so excited to eat weird things like corn and vinegar or onion and tomato salad (VOMIT!!! You know how picky I am...)
His A-FREAKIN-DORABLE smile that my happiness depends on. 
When he gets all serious about soccer. 
When he calms me down. 
When he laughs so hard he literally slaps his knee. I'm pretty sure he created the saying "That's a knee-slapper!"
When he thinks/is the shiz, all dressed up and fancy shmancy. Oooo baby! 
When he shares EVERYTHING with me. He asks me if I want fries or a drink and I usually say no. Then continue to eat/drink his. 
His awesome taste in music. 
His HILARIOUS love for all things Real Madrid, Christiano Ronaldo, and Eminem. 
When he sings in the shower. 
He's a better cook than I am.
Great kisser.
Always is being considerate and making sure I'm happy. 
Respects me and my opinions.

Great artist. 
Gives amazing massages even though he knows I'll be snoring and drooling before it's his turn to get one back.
