Friend.

I'm so lucky to be married to my best friend.

I know that sounds super corny. It's the cliche thing that I'm supposed to say. But the thing is, it's true.

Michael and I have had our share of rough times. We have both thought that this whole coexistence thing is too hard and that we couldn't make it. We have each felt that our own brokenness or the brokenness of the other was just too much.

But at the end of the day... we just really like each other.

It is so good to have a friend that accepts you even when you suck.  It is so good to have a friend that challenges you to be the person you really are.  It is so good to have a friend that gets your view of life when the whole world is seeing it different.  It is so good to have a friend who thinks that your jokes are the funniest ones around.  It is so good to have a friend that takes care of you when you are sick and holds you when you cry. It is so good to have a friend.

The Lord has blessed me in many ways but giving me Michael is one of my favorites. Having him is a testament to the Lords love and care for me and I am very thankful.

So maybe I shouldn't say that I'm lucky.  I'm blessed.

I'm blessed to be married to my best friend.
