Twenty-two

On By wanderingcatyarns

Another year has passed with this big guy at my side.

And as time goes on, I realize how much we compliment each other. You may or may not know… I am fiercely independent (sometimes stupidly so). If you talk to my Mom, she’ll tell you I was born that way. I don’t like to be told what or how to do anything. Even if it’s well-meant. I want to do everything myself, my way.

And that can be hard in a relationship. But it’s never really been an issue for us. Dave’s always been content to be my wing man – providing support when I ask for it, but letting my fly on my own otherwise.

Now… that’s not to say he keeps his opinions to himself – because he has no problem speaking up when he feels he needs to – but he rarely says “I told you so” when I disregard his advice and it turns out just like he said it would.

I really couldn’t ask for a better partner in life. And today marks a total of 22 years since we first met and said “You’re cute, I think I’ll keep you”

I look forward to another year of adventures in love.

  3. It’s your Gotchaversary! Concats to you both.

    The Hubby and I celebrate our Gotchaversary on 10/31, which is when we went out on our first date to a costume party.

    The wedding anniversary is rather secondary to that, since it was almost 13 years later.

    That is such a great photo and a beautiful story of love. He seems like a sweetheart. I always think of his love for the felines in your home too. The story of Lemmy’s homecoming pops into my brain at odd moments. You’ve got a good one for sure.

    Blessings and love,
    Betsy
