Lessons Learned

Have you ever had a relationship that meant the world to you? I do. I met a man 10 years ago that changed the way that I viewed relationships in a big way. I had been through some good and bad relationships in my 22 years of life. When I met Seth, my whole outlook changed. Something about him captured my attention very quickly. He was beautiful, intriguing, funny, and had a very sweet side that I'm positive most people don't know is there.

After 10 years of being with this wonderful man I have learned so much. I've learned how to enjoy sports....REALLY enjoy sports. When we met I had never seen ESPN on tv in my life. Now I catch myself watching it without my husband home. Before my husband I always said I wouldn't be one of those wives that waited on their husband hand and foot. Now, I make sure to take care of him and make him a drink most nights before he walks through the door. Dinner is ready when he gets home. I bring him refills when he needs it, I pack his lunches for work, and make his breakfasts for the week. I've learned that for me, seeing him truly happy, really does make me happy.

I'm not saying I'm the world's greatest wife. I'm just saying in 10 years, I've seen myself make some changes for the better. Changes I never expected to see myself make. I've learned that loving someone means communicating with them even when it's tough. Telling them the hard truths sometimes. Loving them when they are at their lowest and most unlovable points. Being there for every happy moment. Getting to experience all of life's greatest blessings together.

The last 10 years have been the greatest years of my life. I'm sure that it will only continue to get better in time. I never thought I would find a love like this. I'm so glad I decided to give up searching for love and just trust God to send me someone who would be perfect for me. God knew exactly what I needed. I'm positive he made Seth just for me. I've never been so thankful.
