It all started in 6 days!

All that you see in this picture was started after only 6 days! Honestly. I met my husband at the airport in New Hampshire, after my sister made me accompany her to pick him up for her wedding. (she was marrying his older brother). Glenn and I met on July 19th, and were married on July 25th 2005 (yep that is almost 8 years ago). I wish that I had pictures to post, but we literally have only 8 photos total and I don't know where any are. Things haven't been easy, granted when we married neither of us were living in the same state, he was living in Denver Colorado, and I was living in Oswego New York. So we moved to Maine, in with his mother and step father and started finding jobs and saving money. (I should note out of respect for the other people involved, our decision to get married while it was the right decision for us did hurt other people, whom we have both made amends with). 

So what's it like living with someone and you know nothing about them? Well we always joked that we had the blessing of not having had time to try to impress each other, you know how you always hear about people who date and build up these images or idea of what the other person is like and then they get married and find out that they are not like that, well we had no choice other than to just be us from the get go. And to be honest it is a completely CRAZY to marry someone after knowing them for only 6 days, and I don't honestly think that we loved each other, or were committed to each other until after having been married for 7 months or so. After a really bad fight thing we talked all night, and not just about how things were going but talked about how we talk, about what we heard the other person say and what we felt. I got to use a lesson I learned from my ex's mother, who learned it from her older brother "how do I know what you are thinking, if you don't tell me". It was that night, that we truly decided that we didn't want to live without each other, that we were going to support each other through anything, in chasing and reaching our dreams, in one day having children, that we were going to take time tho cherish each other every day, and that we were going to love each other for the rest of our lives. So almost 8 years later, I can honestly say my heart still skips a beat when I hear him come home from work, I cherish every moment I get to spend with him, even on our "busy" nights when he has his computer and I have mine and we are simply sitting side by side with our legs touching while we work. It may have all started in 6 days, but we are in it for a lifetime.
