"The One"

OK,I got this idea from Rachel L. and thought it was great . So heres mine! How did I know he was the one? I didn't at first. It was a gradual appreciation of the kind of person he is that just keep growing until one day I realized that,simply put, I loved him. It was not easy to admit my feelings for him right away,even to myself. The main issue being the age differance,he is 16 years younger than me. Plus I had 2 marriages behind me and a daughter just hitting her teenage years. I came with baggage,so to speak . If you made up a list the cons outweighed the pros into getting into this relationship. But the heart knew this one was diferent

What was so special?Well lets look at the outside first, I love his laughter. He has this big booming laugh that makes you look when he comes out with it. And then you smile along with him and even if you don't think what he is laughing at is funny ,you kinda laugh at his laugh anyway.He has these soft brown eyes,that just lookwell, kind. He has this great deep voice. And really nice smile.

The inside,He has strong integrity. He sticks to his beliefs. He has alot of long time friends that love him. I think that says alot about a man. He is loyal and he makes me feel loved. He respects women and he respects me. He loves his family and he opened his heart to my daughter and even though I dont think he expected it ,he loves her like if she were his own. He has been understanding about my having to help caregive for my ex husband becouse he knows it helps his step daughter. Who couldn't love a man like that?

He's not perfect. He takes forever to get ready to go somewhere. He gets moody often and he can have a temper when pushed . And god help the person that pushes him. He is very neat though and I never have to pick up after him. He is not too great at jumping in with the housework but will if I push it. He cooks for himself most nights. So all in all can't complain there...

I feel content when I'm with him and can't wait to see him after a long work day. It's been 12 years married and many more than that knowing him and being with him hasn't gotten old yet. We tell each other we love each other every day . We might argue once in awile but rarely fight.

So I guess he's the "one" becouse I can't imagine my life without him and becouse the best time in my whole day is when we snuggle in bed and watch TV together before falling asleep. It doesn't get any better than that.
