A real life Opposites Attract Story

So this guy and I are celebrating 15 years of wedded bliss today!! 🥳🥳🥳

Whoever said opposites attract doesn't work in real life should meet us:

*He's a morning person and I'm a night owl. Like this morning, he whispered Happy Anniversary to me at about 5:30, all ready to leave for work and I mumbled something like...whatever why you wake me, ok bye. 😂

*He remembers all the down and dirty fights and I remember all the lovely sentimental moments. I do have selective memory.

*He's organized, calm and pretty low maintenance. I'm chaotic, passionate, and maintenance wise...pretty high up there.

*He's non judgmental, can eat the same meal every day for the rest of our lives. I'm not judgmental so much as I've high standards for people 😀 and the idea of routine gives me hives.

But...what we do have in common far outweighs what we don't agree upon. Like, the time when I refused to label the salt and sugar containers and he gave me coffee with salt. Or just yesterday when he put his dirty coffee cup into a dishwasher full of clean dishes.

We both center family above everything else, and we believe in acceptance and love over any other kind of prejudice and the thing that really binds us together: we can laugh at each other, with each other and at ourselves.

Ask me some other time about lancing boils in inappropriate places the first year of our marriage - so romantic, or the time when we found a snake in our bathroom in our basement apartment- our first home...or even the time when I said my water broke with when pregnant with our first child and he asked me "are you sure you just didn't pee on yourself?'

So yeah, I can't wait for another 15, 30, 50 years on this ride.

He's absolutely taught me to be a better person by word, thought and action and I think I have made his life colorful, if nothing else. 💃🏾
