A Milestone

Today is a special day. Our wedding anniversary passed last week, nope its not anyone's birthday, but today, exactly 11 years ago, my then boyfriend (who is now my husband) asked me to be his girlfriend. We were really young then, I barely started university, we only knew each other for something like 6 months but I guess we were both had something in our minds, we wanted to take each other seriously..looking back, I would not want to change a thing. We have been through a lot together, graduation, first jobs, moving to a new country, my parents' divorce, childbirth, post-partum complications among other things..there has been lots of ups and downs, but I really cannot recall much of those even though we consider them pivotal events. However, one thing for sure I just know that when we are together, things don't seem that bad when we turn at life's worser side and when we pass through the good times, it seem to linger....I really would not know what to do without him.
To mark this milestone, he gave me a tiffany anniversary ring, though slightly too small (we are going to change it tomorrow) I am ecstatic. Not because of its material value, but the fact that he even bother to leave for work much earlier, then travel all the way from the industrial area to the city (which is like a 1hr drive on a good day) to get the gift. My husband is not a shopper at all, I buy all his things...perhaps that is why it took him 11 years before getting me anything at all...:) but anyway, it was really the sweetest gesture.
Thank you Lord for my husband! Gotta sleep now, I am so tired, and I can hear him snoring in the other room, gotta go and put a 'Breathe Right' on his nose.
