Old Posts...Why Did We Fight Back Then...and Happy Birthday Uncle Bob!!

Three years ago today I met Colin for the very first time....I didn't write about him until 6 weeks later on my 23rd birthday, and for some reason--I was like so totally overjoyed to turn 23...it was a pretty good year! 24 was tough, 25 has been equally amazing, fun, brilliant and difficult! And now here I sit, about 6 weeks from my 26th birthday, I am turning the age that Colin was when we met. My goodness, time really does fly right by once you reach 21. I have loved being 25, it's been hard--since August, especially. But it's been SO MUCH FUN! I've laughed and loved and been loved and got married and moved and got a new car, as well as a new job! It's been a year of changes for me--and it's been pretty awesome actually! I think a lot of times I make things harder than they have to be. It's a quality I don't particurlarly like about myself, but oh well, I can work it, and hey, we've all got our faults. So, I was reading through past entries and I wrote on January 14, 2007 that Colin and I had our first fight. And as I sit here today, married and with him almost three years (damn!), I'm thinking, what the HELL did we have to fight about back then? Like, honestly? A couple at 2 months who does not live together, does not share bills, isn't married and has no kids--WTF? I'm sorry, I hate to swear like that on this blog, but seriously! Come on! NOW we have things to fight about, sort of, mostly stupid stuff, and I really need to mellow out! Majorly mellow out--I'm going to the Dr. today--hormone check indeed. Anyway, I'm happy with my life, and it's fun to look back on old entries. I think I was a calmer person, or perhaps a more positive one, before marriage--but perhaps that's just part of growing up. Perhaps maturity and reality go together? Perhaps I'm still a positive person, but not overly optimistic--and I think that's okay, right? I hope it is. I love my life, the quality of my life is quite rich and fabulous--and I am blessed. Older posts are fun, but I need to go get ready for the doctor. Wish me luck! I'm actually pretty healthy these days, just going for a general check up! Yay! No more surgeries for this girl! Thank you, Lord, for that--and a patient husband who stands by me no matter what! Here's to three years in each other's lives, babe, love you! Oh, and Happy Birthday, Uncle Bob! He's 60 today, SIXTY! My goodness! I hope he has a great birthday, I'm so lucky to be his niece and incredibly blessed to have him for an Uncle! Here's to many more wonderful birthdays Uncle Bob! I love you so much! Thank you, Lord, for all of my amazing family & friends!
