Today is Travis and my 3-year anniversary. And I honestly believe I am the luckiest girl in the world.
First off, this is the first real relationship either one of us has ever had, so we’re kind of making it up as we go- but it seems to be working! He has been such a blessing to me, and is one of the biggest sources of joy in my life. For one thing (in my opinion) he is the hottest thing on two legs. For another, he is absolutely perfect for me. He brings out the best parts of me and I adore every moment we spend together.
One thing I love about us is that we never fight or bicker like I see some people do. The only arguments I can think of that we’ve had in the last few months were when we disagreed on what kind of food constitutes a snack and what the average length for a female leg is. Both of which ended in laughter. He is so considerate of my feelings and opinions (most of ours are the same) and he always thinks of me first. Who could ask for anything more?
I am not the shameless photographer I used to be, and we don’t have that many pictures from the past year or so. But we’ve had some fun times that I don’t need a picture to remember. Like ice-skating and earning the biggest bruises of our lives, going to Destin during hurricane season when my swimsuit bottoms were lost beneath a wave, and going on a water ride in 40 degree weather. Of course there were some not-so-good times, too. Last year Travis drove me to Tupelo and stood in the room with me when they unplugged my Granddaddy’s respirator. He never left my side. No matter what, through good and bad, he has been there for me in every sense of the word.
Even more than I want to tell Travis “I love you”, I want to tell God “thank you.” For sending such an angel to love me and walk with me through life’s ups and downs. For sending someone who loves you and seeks you- just like the man I have been praying for since middle school at our True Love Waits conference. And, of course, for making him such a goofball. Not a day goes by that I don’t look up at him and, as my heart beats faster, wonder what I did to deserve him.
It has been a wonderful 3 years, and I look forward to many, many more.
