So many years together...
Today Rodri and I are celebrating five years of marriage and 10 since we started dating. Surely ten years together seems like a lot, but when I look back it's like only yesterday he kissed me for the first time.
Even more, it seems like only yesterday when he rushed into that classroom (he was late for class, OF COURSE! XD) and he headed directly to the seat in front of mine. Casually, my right foot was resting in the chair and I was half asleep (it was the first class in the morning, never my brightest hour...) so I didn't see him coming.
He didn't see my foot either, so he just landed his scrawny butt on it and we both almost yelped in surprise. He turned to me and told me "Oh, I'm so sorry" and I put a hand on his shoulder and smiled: "Never mind".
To this day, I don't know what made me touch him. I usually don't go around touching people I don't know... but his eyes were so warm and he was so embarrased, LOL. Bottom point is when he turned back to the professor again, I had the strangest thought: "This is the man I'm going to marry".
Yeah, sounds cheesy and it sounded ever more cheesy then. I laughed to my self, thinking I was in desperate need of a man if I was having those ridiculous thougths.
And here we are, so many years later.
Of course, whenever I tell this story he laughs at me, because being the less romantic guy on th face of the earth, he doesn't remember any of it. "OH.MY.GOD, how can you forget that moment when the fabric of the universe itself changed to wrap us together??" I tell him in my best drama queen pose. He knows I'm kidding... and I know he honestly DOESN'T REMEMBER how we met. XD.
We've had some pretty rough times this last year. I know parenthood and money issues have drifted us apart a little, but the thing is, we can talk about it, acknowledge it and work to solve it, as we are doing.
It takes an effort from my part to wait for him until he gets home, at 11 PM, just to seat on the table together to eat and chat after Connie has gone to sleep, instead of eating earlier and going to bed.
It's also an effort for him to spend his days off going for a drive or for a walk with me and Connie instead of just staying home to sleep.
It takes an effort from my part to show interest when he talks about his favorite topics, cars and economics but he also makes an effort to watch some of my favorite TV shows with me so we can comment them later.
That's why we're still together, still in love and we hope to keep going strong in the years to come. Happy anniversary, amore. ♥
