Happy Anniversary Malcolm!!
Today is our anniversary. Sometimes, it feels like we have always been together and always will.. and other times it's surprising to realize how long it has been.
I was talking to the girls yesterday and I realized in 2 more years, I will have been with Malcolm for half of my life. It's an interesting thought.
I realized two weeks ago when M's dad came to visit, that we have been together longer then either of our parents marriages. It's possible that we have been together longer then both marriages combined. I'm thinking we need one or two more years for that. But still, it's thoughts like that, that get you thinking.
We have several good friends who have been together just as long, if not longer. I believe we all break the national "average". I could be wrong, but it seems on the whole that a good percentage of the Scadians that I know either have a marriage that only lasts for a few years (I believe recognizing that it's not working or they are too different) or they seem to be in it for the long haul, forever.. I'm not finding fault with anyone here, since I am strongly of the opinion that once you realize that you are not good for each other or that there is no working out your differences, that it is better to go your seperate ways. I don't have the words to explain what I am thinking, but it's interesting.
M. and I have been thru the rough times and the good times. Right now is a good time, but honestly.. I think sometimes it's the rough times that have brought us so close together. Perhaps it's the confidence that if you can make it thru those times and still love each other (etc) that it means we can make it thru anything.. M. and I have a number of differences in what we think and believe. However, for the vast majority of our "core" beliefs, especially on what is "right" or wrong.. we tend to be dead on. Perhaps that is the difference in relantionships that work or don't.. is finding the person that best matches your core beliefs.
M. made me french toast this morning (and he hates french toast). Right now we are watching football.. and later today we are going out for dinner and a movie date. Sometimes, going thru negative experiences and/or relantionships makes you realize how good you do have it. :) It also helps you appreciate your freinds and loved ones.
I hope everyone will have a wonderful day.. I know I am..
