My Best Friend

I will probably write alot in this blog about things far back in my past, and this year especially most of it will probably be about my love life. I do have a purpose for this. Last year, I wrote a blog post on my family blog, Ten Years, One Amazing Life, because last year was the 10 year anniversary of when Marty and I first met. Our journey together officially started there, and that was extremely important and special to me. This year we will celebrate our 10 year WEDDING anniversary, so that will also be a very special occasion. We love to look back over the last 10 years and our life together. I also love to look back at the journey before that got us together and took us here. I believe it is an amazing story with the handwriting of God on every page. He set in motion all the plans for Marty and I to meet, and I am forever grateful to Him for allowing me to be married to my best friend. Marty and I were never friends. We had never met before, never knew each other, and the day we met it was completely fate, no human pre-planning was involved. We started talking and eventually dating, but we had one of those relationships where we just fell in love and that was it. We weren't friends first, we were just meant to be. I struggled with it alot because it happened so fast, since I almost married the wrong guy and had just ended that relationship right before meeting Marty. But I had a strong relationship with God then and He had been preparing me for a while for that to happen. I was ready. I always thought I would end up marrying one of those other guys, those friends I'd had for so long. I didn't know Mr. Right was someone just around the corner who I'd never even met! There are alot of things to love about Marty: he's cute and funny and a great person, but right now my favorite thing is that I can be myself with him, and he has always loved me for me, baggage and all! I can tell him anything and everything and we can talk about it. We talk about crazy stuff all the time. I totally could have been his friend in high school, but we might not have ended up together. No, it had to happen this way instead. I sometimes wish I had known him sooner so I could have spent more time with him (and we would have more kids! lol), but I look forward to the years we could have ahead of us in the future and am just thankful for God's perfect plan. Marty has become my best friend in the whole world, and in a marriage I just don't see how it could be any other way.
