Isn't it silly that tonight I wanted to sit down and write in my live journal after all of this time about how great my love is?
I've been married to Jeremy Matlow for 2 years and I find myself every single day being madly in love and wanting nothing more than to live my life to the fullest with him. I already have one child with him, who is precious and more perfect than I could have imagined... I'm hoping for a second, but as things have proven with us- things don't happen on the first try (or the second, third, etc..)
The life as a stay at home mom is fulfilling for me because it's pretty much everything I had ever dreamed of doing. I never had a set "career path" and I always dreamt of just "being mom". I do sell my vintage clothing online (Etsy and Instagram) because I love doing it and it makes me feel good. There are certainly challenges to being a mom 24/7, but nothing that has ever made me doubt that this is the perfect thing for me.
Jeremy is running FOUR businesses now with his business partner, Ryan, but still takes two days off a week (Wednesdays and Sundays, for now) which I appreciate. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will be getting a Christmas tree to decorate and on Sunday, Darla Winn is coming over to take pictures of the 3 of us, which is now our yearly tradition since Declan has been born. I use them for holiday cards which I actually have been good about sending out.
I wish I had the hours to spend to update on absolutely everything that has happened over the course of a few years, but alas.. I can't. It's currently 11:30pm and I am already ready to go to sleep so that we can start the day tomorrow. But, I did want to make note that I wish I could read Jeremy's private entries on his live journal because I remember the one in 2013 after I had moved in with him, he was mad at me about some things.. but he ended it with a beautiful message about staring into my blue eyes and wanting to dive in and swim away with me.
I could read that line over and over again and die a happy woman.
Truly. I am so happy to be his wife and to have this life with him.
I wouldn't be me if I didn't lose sleep over the possibilities of losing him or Declan, or even my own life, but after all of the worrying... I dream of our long life together- watching the child(ren) grow, us growing, the world growing... and it's beautiful.
Thank you, Jeremy Matlow, for everything. We've got 13+ years under our belts of wonderful times and I couldn't be more grateful to you and all of our adventures together. I love you. You are my favorite, ever. You are the perfect father and the perfect husband. <3
