For today's post, I thought I would change up my MO of sharing only funny memes and introduce you all to the most wonderful human that has ever existed: my husband George.
George and I have sort of an odd backstory. His parents lived next door to my dad and step-mom for a super long time. We have a bit of an age difference though (8 years) and so never really met. In 2008, George and my family ended up attending the same church. A big group from church went out to eat a few times but again, we just didn't really talk much. On Christmas day in 2008, my step-mom invited him over to hang out. George thought this meant that it would be an informal gathering of people playing cards or something but was unpleasantly surprised to find himself in a super family-oriented gift opening session. He looked extremely uncomfortable so I started talking to him. We ended up on the subject of history (of which we are both super nerds) and didn't stop talking for hours. We didn't start "officially" dating until March of 2009, but got engaged in July and married one year later in July of 2010.
We've been dealing with infertility since then and have had our fair share (along with what I can only assume was someone else's share) of hard times including injuries, surgeries, money troubles, a failed adoption, car troubles and many other things but never once have I regretted marrying George. He is an extremely kind person. He's tough, he's funny, he's understanding, and he really cares about things that are important to me. We decided early on that we were never going to quit on each other no matter what life brought us. I'm happy to say that, even with all of the nonsense that life indeed brought us, we're happier with each other now than we were in 2009. ❤️
So there you go. That's George. I'm sorry that I had to be so nauseatingly sappy but it was necessary. 😜
Thank you all for reading. You are the real rockstars!
