Five years and counting . . .

Yesterday we celebrated our 5th anniversary at a wedding, coincidentally it was the wedding of the person who first introduced Robin and myself, his cousin and my friend, Luchae…(luchae and I initially bonded over a love of singing and a peculiar pre-teen rebellious streak – We both used to read with torches under the covers after “lights out”)  With Rob in army she thought we should chat as she felt we have a similar sense of humour. . . The rest is history…
Can’t believe it has been 5 years already, actually I can’t believe it has only been 5 years. We have weathered so many storms from unemployment, different shifts (I was at home at night and him during the day), a long distance marriage (when he went to police academy)  illnesses, fights, family drama, losing our son, almost losing my own life, losing his dad and my God mother, financial issues created by funerals and medical bills, our newborn struggling to breath and spending the longest week of my life in the same NICU where his brother died  .  . . But also promotions and a new car and a new baby and great friends and amazing family and trying out new recipes together and going on family trips and putting our faith in God as a family and learning to cope with a colicky turned happy hyper baby and late night binges followed by guilt fuelled gym sessions and  . . .
I feel very blessed to have found someone who GETS ME! And supports me, isn’t afraid to dissagree with me or say sorry…Like the song goes “I’d rather have bad times with you than good times with someone else”
Looking super young five years ago
