Thanksgiving was our 5 year anniversary.
I don't mean to get all sentimental... well actually I do. That's a lie.
I write on this blog all the time about how amazing Cori is... but you should know, I'm not exaggerating when I talk about him.
When we got married it was like someone said, "Congratulations, here is your real life, you can stop living that pretend life from before." I believe that feeling was a gift because not only have the last 5 years been the best of my life, they have also been some of the hardest. And I couldn't have done what I needed to do with out him.
Cori has been my advocate when I could not and did not know I needed advocated for. He works so hard to provide for us. He is not perfect, but he is always trying to be better. He makes time to help, if someone needs help he will rearrange his work schedule- (sometimes that means staying up late into the night) so that he can move people, help them fix their cars/toilets/sprinklers, going out to see people who are sick int he middle of the night... Whatever he needs to do- he makes time. And not just for other people, he does all those things for me and the girls and takes us on dates and snuggles with us and grows a garden and does school (when he can) and works crazy hours. AND he is romantic and funny and silly.
He is goodness. And I am so grateful for him. I had a pretty stiff list of expectations in the man I married, and he exceeds them it ways I never could have imagined.
There are so many things for us to be better at. So many places for us to improve and things to accomplish and become. I am so grateful to do and be and accomplish with him, because life is hard sometimes, but I know together, we can do those hard things.
The honeymoon really is over- and real life is so much better.
