two years...

Today...we have been married for two whole years. It's hard to believe that we have come so far from where we were just two short years ago. We've had our ups and downs, but overall it's been pretty up :).

It's amazing the things we learn about each other day in and day out - I wonder if it is the same for every married couple. That you're surprised by the things your husband/wife thinks, says, or does on a pretty regular basis...

Things I've learned since being married...

1. Sometimes things are amazing.
2. Sometimes they are not.
3. It's okay to be irritated and mad at each other sometimes.
4. He will always leave the top of the Q-TIP jar.
5. Life isn't perfect. 
6. I can't control everything even though I will try. (This is something Daryl's learned I believe..haha)
7. Married life is the best. It's better than dating any day.
8. Feeling this kind of security cannot be matched.
9. Being married makes you want to be a better person in all aspects of life.
10. He will always air guitar at every available opportunity - even while doing the dishes.
11. He will always love me. Even at my worst.  
12. There is no manual.
13. Laughter is indeed the best medicine. It fixes all levels of arguments and disagreements. At least for us.
14. It's okay to thinking differently, as long as you can happily compromise. :) Or at the very least - do it my way. haha...
15. Life is most certainly a box of chocolates...

I know it seems silly, but sometimes it's nice to remind yourself where you've been and where you are going. I'm just happy to know that I have someone who is along for the ride, no matter what. It's not perfect, but its exactly what I always wanted. I love him. (that's you, D.)
