Well Day 12 of the blog challenge is supposed to be the person who I hate the most or has caused me the most pain. I wont lie.. its my husband. (minus the hating part!!) You can only truly be hurt by someone when you are completely open and transparent with them. I love him with all my heart and even though our disagreements and whatnot are almost always caused by a lack of communication or misunderstandings, he is the one in life who hurts me the most and causes me the most pain.. because he is who influences me most. He knows me better and has seen me as no one else can or ever will. I am so grateful that he is the one who can hurt me the most because he is the one who makes everything better. I absolutely love how he can turn an argument into talking about how much he loves and adores me... (is that a coincidence... hmmm, I might have to start watching out for that! it might be a trick to get out of a few things ;P) *jk* I can't name any one argument or moment in our marriage when hurt me the most.. well maybe a couple moments more so than others.. but you get my point, haha. He is who I trust and therefore, because he is only human.. and a man... we have moments where we misuse each others trust or misunderstand that trust, love or intentions, and can even react out of spite for each other.. But those moments and what we learn from them are what makes our marriage and level of commitment stronger and deeper.
So, Thanks E for making me love you and reminding me even in the midst of a misunderstanding and/or in the middle of my stubborn-ness, that we will come out stronger better people in the face of adversity and our love will never falter because of the little bumps along the road of life! All my Love, All my Life!

You know, we stepped into this adventure a little naive. We were careless, immature, ignorant, desperate for love and affection, and maybe even a little horny :) (yes, I just said that) We've made eachother cry, and maybe even broke eachothers hearts a time or two. We've said things we meaned but later wish we hadn't said, and I'm sure we've avoiding saying things that needed to be said but denied the other the satisfaction of an open heart. We've pushed, pulled, and drug eachother through our emotional mud pits and when looking back I'm sure we've put the blame on one another for the pain that followed. But you know what? I wouldn't be willing to go through any of that with anyone else... and I've known that since I first met you. The love you've given me is as close to heaven as I can imagine. Your love gives me strength. Your strength challenges me to be a better dad and husband. I have hurt you in ways that I know you are incapable of. But it's been those times that you have forgiven me and chosen to love me despite who I am that shows me just how blessed I am to be your husband. Our children (all twenty of them) will grow up with that love and I CAN'T WAIT to see what kind of men and women they will be because of YOU! Yes we've had our moments of doubt... yes we've had our moments of regret... yes we've had our moments of hurt but those are just moments. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with you. The best is yet to come. I love you.
