After getting all tough and rough during today's floor hockey game and then killing myself with tonight's timed run, I kind of fell into quite the weird mood. I felt excessively girlie so I sat down to search out a movie to watch online.
I wanted to watch a romance.
"Honey" was a romance but it was more dance than romance.
"Dirty Dancing" was an option I considered but I wanted to see something new.
I didn't want something with a lot of overly-paid nude tushes or too hot and heavy -- I much rather DO that than watch that thanks. I wanted a feel good overly romantic movie that was super sweet. A make-you-cry kind of movie that perhaps had a little bit of "ultra cheesy" factored in.
Viola... "The Vow".
I got about twenty minutes into the movie before I just had to pause it and call up Snickers. Another twenty minutes into the movie I called him again. "Our love story is so much better than the movies!" I told him and I believed it too. Perhaps one day I'll write out our love story as an entry here on my homepage. I know everyone thinks their love story is different but I truly believe ours is very special. Ours can only be explained by one word -- destiny. Four years I would have choked if you had said that word to me and stumbled on trying to hold in my laughter but destiny is the only way I can explain how he and I found each other -- two people from two totally cultures and walks of live, from two countries that couldn't be further from each other even if you tried. We didn't even speak the same language when we first me yet less than seven months after our first date we were married.
Our love story hasn't been all peaches and cherries, gosh no. There were many times when things got heated and he'd take off. And as he jumped on his scooter to drive away, I'd be there in the second story window throwing oranges at him. But I'll say this, all the drama and heated arguments were before we got married. Getting married didn't so much calm us but gave us both a sense of security. Now if we have an argument there isn't the fear that the other may simply call it quits and not return because now we live together and are legally joined. We have to come back to the house; it's our house. Honestly, I thought marriage would be a lot harder than simply dating but it feels so much easier. I suppose it's because of this sense of security I mentioned.
I love Snickers unlike anything I ever imagined and I'm proud of that -- proud of him, proud of us, proud of beating the odds that so many people had stacked up in their minds. I'll never forget a homepage commenter who called Snickers my "rebound guy" from my break-up with Q. Next week -- January 25th -- will mark my third year wedding anniversary with Snickers, not bad for supposedly a "rebound guy"... hahaha.
I never was the girl that dreamed about getting married, having kids and getting that white picket fence house. I always had wanted to be my own person, do my own thing and I didn't want to be restricted with where I could go and what I could do because of someone else, like a husband or child. Of course, that all changed when I met Snickers. I was just so caught up in him. I am still very much caught up in him. He is my husband, lover, hero, best friend, roommate, teammate, assistant coach, and now business partner. He is the one person I can really just relax and show all sides of myself to without feeling like he'll judge me or think of me any different. Having said this though, despite us being very comfortable with each other, I still do try hard to remain the "girl of his dreams". I refuse to be a wife that thinks marriage means you get to let yourself go. I mean you should be comfortable and cool with your man but you also have to keep that spark and keep things hot. There's being comfortable and then there's being just too comfortable.
As for tonight's movie, I never did get to finish the movie. I got caught up in a video call from Snickers and ended up accidentally pressing a button, closing the video screen. Perhaps I'll load the video later this week and finish it off. Tomorrow I get to go home and see Snickers so I'm so excited about that bu watching the movie tonight made me miss him all that more.
